Football Pride: On & Off the Field

Ultimately, what always comes back as my favorite part of Fall is football season. Be it college or NFL, it just feels right when the leaves start to change and Saturdays and/or Sundays can be spent watching every game. 

And though it is kind of cheesy, I am into showing your pride. Looks like Pink has given us a few options besides over sized jerseys. They have these for every NFL team, clearly you know my favorite....

Yep, those are Bears undies (#4). That way you can show some pride under any of your chic weekend pieces. No one will know, except...

1. Drapey tee $39

2. Hoodie $58

3. Boyfriend tee $34

4. Lace boy shorts $10

5. Shorts $34

But let's get serious, you are not wearing those things (well, maybe the boy shorts) unless you are actually in front of the TV or next to the field. Lucky for us Bears fans, blue and orange is perfect for Fall. I LOVE all of these and they would be perfect for a pre-game Saturday night out...

Splendid $110, J. Crew $198, Juicy $230, Kimchi Blue $79

Go Bears!

Set the Table: Cinco de Mayo

To go with my recipe on Monday, I was thinking of how to set the scene with a few easy pieces. Instead of the over-the-top decor of so many fiestas, let's try a more sophisticated approach...

 Set of four Tumblers $18

Walnut Serving Tray (on sale) $58

Sacaton Dinner Plate $20

Azure Tablecloth $128

Spicy Grapefruit Margarita 

I am totally obsessed with the plates. The pop of orange with a great print is the perfect backdrop for a fun meal. The cobalt blue in the tumblers is a great contrast with the richness of the wood tray. As for the Spicy Grapefruit Margarita (recipe here), it not only looks delicious but color coordinated. Who could ask for more?

Browsing for Spring

You know when you are on a mission to find the perfect dress/outfit/shoes/bag for a specific occasion and it seems like no store could fulfill that need after hours of shopping? It seems to happen to everyone and the hunt becomes frustrating. 

It is the times when you are not really shopping for anything, nor need anything, or in my case can't wear anything or know how anything will fit in the coming months, when you find hundreds (slightly dramatic) of perfect Spring pieces that would be the most amazing additions to your closet. That was my Saturday. I drooled over everything and willed for my baby bump to melt off and my swollen feet to be presentable so I could at least try things on. Instead, I gawked and wished that everything would be just as cute in a few months. 

My first obsession are these amazing Bottega Veneta wedges...

The wedge is actually a glossy, bright pink and the leather is the perfect contrast. The studs and height bring it all home. It is taking every will of my being to not order these right now, but I see myself caving in the next week or two while I await the baby. 

Then I saw this Tracey Reese sequined floral top with an open back and bandeau paired with the perfect Rachel Zoe cobalt blue maxi skirt with a high slit....

Cocktails on a rooftop deck? Rehearsal dinner for a spring wedding? Date night with your man? It would be so freaking cute for any of those. 

There was so much more and some great trends that I spotted. I will be shopping and sharing with you soon. Think lace bloomers, soft pajama-style printed trousers a la Kate Hepburn, soft pastels and the brightest brights. Adore it all and excited to actually start shopping soon!

Bright and Shiny Blue

I have written before of my love for all things bright blue. This room kind of made me want to die, and I mean that in the best possible way. 

Traditional Home

The neutrals and pop of yellow is so great. The moldings also take it over the top. When I have the opportunity to have a sitting room or den, this is the color that is going up. 

In the meantime, I can still shop for bright blue....

1. Equipment $188

 2. Topshop $75

3. Wayne $485

 4. Isabella Oliver $191

 5. Yochi $70

 6. Nissa $125

7. ASOS $58

8. Balenciaga $1895

 9. Swatch $80

Love the sleeveless, over sized button down with leather leggings. And if I did not look like I swallowed a basketball right now, the Topshop dress would be my go to party dress. Love.
