BOWW LOVES FANATICS

It shouldn't be any surprise that we love football in our house. From September to the end of January our weekends are filled with plans around the games. Now that the Green Bay Packers are headed to take on the Seattle Seahawks we have even more reason to celebrate! First and foremost, I must tell you that I am a Cardinals fan all the way. Yes, I was even a fan all those years we didn't come close to the playoffs. However, my future husband is a Green Bay Packers fan and I like to join in on the fun while he is cheering them on. So since my Cardinals didn't make it past the first round of playoff games, I am stuck rooting with the cheese heads right now. With NFL playoffs in full effect I have created a look based around a NFL jersey. I chose a male jersey because I like the way it fits better than a women's jersey. To finish off the cheese head gear I went with jeans for a casual Sunday look and gold accessories. So if you're in the need of a NFL jersey this playoff season, check out Fanatics for all your sports gear needs.

BOWW LOVES FURR

Pony tail girl // Navy // Shaggy Ivory // Ivory Furry // Heavy Collar // Two Toned // Rocker Chick // Cheetah 

Don't throw red paint on me PETA lovers, I just love a good fur coat. Since the weather has dropped in the Grand Canyon State I've been an eying a fur coat. I've been on the hunt just about every day. It's almost like a sickness I've caught. Every other day I'm finding a new one I want. Any of these furry friends will get you through the holidays this year. Wear a fur coat with a simple tee and skinny jeans or over your holiday dress. The fur coat adds a little funk, glam, and sophistication to any outfit. Throw on some layered necklaces and keep your make up simple. When you are wearing such a statement piece, I like to keep other elements of my look clean.  

Which one is your favorite? I can't decide...so help me please! xx

DATE NIGHT


Brandon and I have been engaged for a month now! Wheww it already flew by! We try to go on at least 1 date a week and that means I need to get my Date Night wardrobe updated. Now that the weather is finnnally cooling down (a little) I've slowly pulled out my sweaters. The red trousers add a pop of romance and you can even wear this at the office straight to happy hour. Also, if ya follow me on insta you can tell that we just went on a date last night. 

Since Halloween is only a few days away, have you decided what you are going to wear? I've changed my mind, ohhhhh about a million times! I think I have my Halloween costume confirmed but if things change I might just reach for my quick/simple costume ideas here. 

Happy hump day boww-utiful babes and thanks for reading. xoox

GAME DAY ATTIRE PART 2

Broncos Tee // Boyfriend Shorts // Orange Shoes // Converse // Necklace // Cardinals Tee // Jeans // Flats

Good Monday morning! I'm still on a high that the Arizona Cardinals are now 3-0! Well, since we are on the subject of football, here is my Game Day Attire Part 2. This blog post was recently featured on my friends blog, The Story of My Life. Annie is a sorority sister of mine and her blog is one you don't want to miss. She shares life experiences that most of us are too embarrassed to talk about and doesn't apologize for it. 


Remember when Kristin Cavallari debuted a women’s NFL clothing line? For once we were given the opportunity to not look totally tacky while cheering for our favorite football team. However, the excitement ended quickly as the clothing was never actually available for sale. Hmm... rude Kristin, you're still hot though and we forgive you. So we were left at square one to rummage through local sport stores to find that perfect game time attire. However, I have a few tricks up my sleeve to avoid looking like a total bag, because trust me, we've all seen it happen. Most of the time while I'm cheering (more like boozing) on my favorite team I'm headed to the local bars. 

Therefore, today I've put together a couple of looks that are casual but you can play around with them. The best part of rooting on a team is that you get to play with their team colors. For example, these orange Steve Madden sneakers are shoes I wouldn't normally wear but these are perfect for a Denver Bronco fan. If you cheer for a team with red in their colors, slap on a red lip.  Also, you can fit your team colors within your accessories such as a purse or a chunky necklace. I tend to stray away from team shops or sports stores, and I find my favorite sporting shirts at Junk Food, Old Navy, Target, Victoria Secret, and Chicka-D. 

A few of my fashion don'ts while chugging down vodka waters at the bar while "cheering" on your favorite team are: 

-       Cutting shirts // I'm not against cutting an old shirt (as you can see in Thursdays post) but just be careful because you're not on frat row anymore. Sometimes when you cut the shirt too much you just look juvenile.

-       Team Colors vs. Skin Color // Just because your team is Gold and Maroon doesn't mean you need to wear Gold, because well...it doesn't look great on everyone. 

-       No Jewels on the Shirt // Get you bedazzle on with accessories like a chunky necklace, an arm party or sunglasses.

Watching a game at a bar or at a friends house can be tricky but don’t be afraid to play around with your look. Also, the chances of you having dirty hair from your Friday or Saturday night are high, so make use of it. This is the perfect time to play around with that hairstyle you found on Pinterest months ago.

Thoughts on heels? I’m all for a chunky wedge or ankle bootie, but keep the stilettos for the club. Remember, whatever you wear you want to make sure you can still hang with the boys.

GAME DAY ATTIRE PART 1

Skirt -- Similar // Top -- similar (ish) // Shoes // Sunnies // Clutch - Very Similar 

I have gone to my fair share of football games or bars to know what is worthy of wearing while you are cheering on your favorite sports team. While getting ready for an event my thoughts tend to run like this... 

-Ugh, that shirt is too frumpy
-Nooo, can't wear that because it would look better with shorts, and my legs?  I didn't shave or tan my legs so I have to wear pants. 
-Noope, can't wear that-my arms, I mean have you seen these arms lately? 
-Should I wear a hat? Hmm..maybe but what shirt do I wear with the hat? Nope, no shirt to match so the hat is out. 

Okay, I think you get the picture and yes I could go on and on. Well, I have gathered a few of my tips and tricks while cheering or boozing on your favorite sports team. BUT, you'll have to wait to see those tips in Part 2 of my Game Day Attire series. For now, you are presented with me from Saturday, looking like a fat cheerleader who didn't make the squad.

DESERT JUMPSUIT


Similar Jumpsuits // Piperlime // Nordstrom // Shopbop  
Similar Necklaces // Zara // Forever21 
Similar Clutchs // Lulu's // Nordstrom 



When I was in middle school I walked into my bedroom after school and my mom was sitting on my bed. I asked her what she was doing and she replied that she was thinking of a project she was going to build in my room. A couple months later I had a full four door closet in my room that she built. Unfortunately, I have never had the crafty/handyman gene. I've always had the itch to get crafty but every time I tried the end result was never how I imaged it. While my mom can bust out just about any DIY  project you see on Pinterest I'm over here struggling to cut within the lines. If you follow me on Instagram you can see that Brandon and I were working on a little DIY project over the weekend. I found the project on Pinterest (typical...) and it seemed simple enough. I can't wait to show the end result!

Also, the sun was super harsh while we were taking these photos so they didn't turn out like we hoped. However, this jumpsuit is a killer comfortable outfit. Anytime you get the words killer and comfortable to describe an item of clothing, I'm in. So behold, the June & Hudson jumpsuit I purchased from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (so0o0o two months ago...).

RED RED WINE



Red has never been a color I've been drawn too. My skin tone has red and pink tones already in it so I never found red to be a good color on me. However, I am slowly incorporating the color into my wardrobe. It all started with this Asos Jumpsuit. When I saw it online I knew I had to pick it up. The structure and color will be a perfect transition piece into fall. I see myself wearing this at a holiday party or in the office with a blazer. Also, this Burberry cross body is a great accessory to add a bit of red into your wardrobe. 
Talk to ya later, I'll be adding some red into this chicks closet. 
Thanks for stopping by! xox
