What to Wear to a Superbowl Party

I’m told the Superbowl is happening this Sunday. Alright! As a former cheerleader, I’ve always maintained that I truly enjoy a good sporting event. That said, as you might imagine, the true highlight of the Superbowl for me is the commercials. And the beer. And the baked potato dip. And the parties. And the causal dress code!

Okay, so I clearly can’t talk strategy about the upcoming game — but I can help you strategize on the what to wear to a Superbowl party. Here are three casual and cute outfit ideas. The key is be comfy for your all-day snackathon. If you’re feeling festive, go ahead and rock your team’s colors. Note: if you are a die-hard Giants or Patriots fan, I suppose a fitted tee with your team’s name on it is okay. Just do me a favor and accessorize!

Valentine’s Day: A First Date (2/3)

Boy meets Girl [online]. Boys asks Girl out. Girl says yes and then realizes that their first date is planned for Valentine’s Day evening. What does Girl wear?!

If you’re single and ready to mingle this year, here’s a romantic outfit that says: I’m approachable (not: I’m desperate). Light pink is the perfect, non-intimidating color on Vday. And seriously, how cute are these flats??

Boy smooches Girl.

Spaghetti Infinity Scarves

The very same day I blogged about infinity scarves, my talented coworker Jane showed up to work with a Christmas present for me: a handmade spaghetti infinity scarf! (I tell ya, infinity scarves are on everyone’s brain these days!).

How clever/adorable/fun/genius are these DIY scarves?!

Jane used old t-shirts (and Pinterest for inspiration!) to create them — she even picked t-shirts with sentimental value: my scarf is made from a 5K race tee that our company sponsored. They’re a fun reminder that DIY gifts can be both chic and thrifty.

Happy holidays!

To Infinity… and Beyond!

I never thought I’d be quoting Toy Story on this blog, but my recent obsession with infinity scarves means Buzz Lightyear quotes have been replaying in my head. Over and over. Infinity scarves are everywhere!

Scarves are definitely a chic and cozy accessory, especially during these cold months, and retailers are now pushing infinity — also known as loop or circle — scarves. Guess what? I’m buying! This trend is super easy to wear: just wrap the circular scarf once or twice around your neck. I recommend picking up a chunky, cable knit infinity for lazy days and a soft, printed scarf for work. Wrap, smile and go!

A few favorites:

Where to shop (top to bottom): Pink infinity from Affordablescarves.com ($13.56) // Zebra from Affordablescarves.com ($7.96) // Chain link from Nasty Gal ($18) // Chunky knit from LOFT ($39.50) // Wildflowers from Urban Outfitters ($24) // Grey loop from LOFT ($34.50) // Cotton jersey from Etsy ($33.60) // Basket weave from Macy’s ($27.99).

LOFT Georgetown Grand Opening

A Saturday in Georgetown goes a little something like this:

Nice weather  + shopping + tourists = mass hysteria!

Perhaps a sane person would learn this formula and try to avoid Georgetown on a sunny Saturday, but what can I say, I love a chaotic outdoor shopping experience.

My best friend, Robin, and I decided to head to the grand opening event of LOFT Georgetown, one of my fav thrifty stores. I’m a member of the Capital Area Fashion and Beauty Blogger group (CapFABB) and got wind that our co-founder Lacey, from A Lacey Perspective, was hosting the grand opening event. Fun, right?! (ps – how do I get thaat gig??). The store had champagne and Georgetown cupcakes on hand, and Lacey teamed up with Lucky magazine stylists to help us in the dressing room.

I picked up a really cute red blouse for 30% off. Love a pop of color during the fall and winter months. Plus, red goes with my cheapo cheetah print flats from Target perfectly!

It was hard to settle on just one new piece from LOFT, so here are my favorite items from their fall collection:
