Sequin Tribal Skirts

Lately, I've been lusting over Tribal/Aztec Sequin Skirts. I want them all, in every color.

If at least one of these could make it's way into my closet, you would see a very happy Stephanie. 

I love that you can dress them up for a night out

Dress them down while going to a daytime outdoors festival

You can even throw on a blazer for a more elegant look

There is something about those shiny versatile numbers that just makes my heart go pitter-patter.

Don't be surprised if you see me rockin' one (or 6) in the coming months :)

Football Fashion - Gameday Bows

Allow me to introduce you to my favorite new accessory.

When I first saw Gameday Bows, it was love at first sight. They transform a simple dress into an entirely new outfit, all while simultaneously paying homage to your favorite team. I mean, what girl isn't drawn to the perfect tailgate outfit?

The bows are made with the finest fabrics and tailored to perfection. The website allows you to pick by color or 

by team, as well as read the sweet story about how the idea came to fruition. It's unlikely, but if you 

don't see your teams color displayed, they do take custom orders!

Please tell me you see the adorableness that is this FSU bow? And, if you were dropped on your head 

as a child, you'll love this Gator inspired bow (yes, the Florida/Florida State rivalry runs that 

deep, but I'm willing to admit that those colors make a darn cute bow)

Not to worry if sports isn't your thing - these bows can work for any occasion.

Just take a peek at this beauty rockin' a bow to a derby party.

This entire photo, including the red velvet cupcakes in the background, are making me wish I was invited to that party.

Look at this bow takin' in some rays during a trip to the beach

The designer of these brilliant bows, Loren, is about as adorable as the bows themselves (proof in the photo below.) 

That bright green bow paired with this gorgeous floral dress is perfection.

Obsessed is putting it lightly. I ordered a gold bow to use for both FSU & UCF game days. But I've got my eye on a 

couple others that I'm dying to make mine, such as these dazzling chevron bows. Swoon.

If I had to guess, I'd say Gameday Bows will be popping up around all tailgates over the next few years. If you're not sold yet, follow me on Instagram to see me rock a bow to my Alma Maters first home game of the season in just two short weeks!

Linkup with one of my favorite budget savvy ladies, Erin, for Football Friday! 

Hello, football season!

Here we are once again on the cusp of football season. 

Football season makes me giddy like a little schoolgirl. 

I love everything about it- tailgating, drinking, playing games, camaraderie, and I can't lie, the rivalry gets me going, too. 

The only thing that can weigh down my mood is not having a festive game day outfit.

The kicker is that my heart belongs to two teams

Growing up I was an avid Florida State fan due to my Father. We despised the Gators so not much has changed in that department. My love for the Seminoles eventually brought me to Tallahassee, as well as my best friend. 

A girl just can't live in that town very long. It's like being in love with a guy who lives somewhere that you could NEVER see yourself moving. You eventually have to part ways.

 I moved home to Orlando after 3 years in Tally and finished my degree at UCF. I'll also be attending this lovely establishment for my graduate school.

Orlando has my heart, so there should be room for UCF in it, too. 

I just haven't been able to mentally get into the games at UCF. Hopefully that will one day change. 

I'm pretty sure FSU will always be my team, regardless of my Alma Mater. 

I'll settle for pitchin' a tent out on Memory Mall and sippin' chuggin' beers with friends. Doesn't sound half bad, huh? 

My cousin is attending USF in the Fall. Family weekend happens to be against FSU so my entire family is going over there for the weekend to tailgate.

Most likely, I'll be attending the FSU vs. Boston game at Florida State on Oct. 13th in Tally. 

Not to mention, I'll hopefully be attending every UCF homegame minus a few weekends that I'm already booked. 

As you can see, outfits are needed.

 Still obsessing over this dress from last season that you can find over at Twelve Saturdays. They only have large left, bummer. Prime example of how you can miss out if you wait to long. 

All of these can be dressed up with belts, flowers and accessories. 

I'll post back when I find some cute stuff in person. Online shopping does me no good when I can't figure out what my size would be. 

What is your favorite game day go to?

Summer Style

Down here in the South it is horribly hot at this time of year. Rather than post all kinds of gorgeous outfits that are not suitable to wear right now, I thought I'd show some outfits that keep you away from heatstroke danger but still look chic.

Oh, one more thing. Have you seen this little gem over at J.Crew? Quite honestly, I've wanted it for months.

Gorgeous, yes. But it will set you back a pretty penny at $150 a pop.

Insert ebay. Sorry J.Crew, these things are going for a tenth of the price on ebay and in some cases MUCH less. Head on over here to find yours.

I'm still trying to decide which color I want to purchase, but I love them all.
