Gridiron Belles

You might be a Southern Lady if...you love football and have been known to tailgate on Gameday! Whether you watch the football games at home with family and friends or hit the road and enjoy the tailgate experience, there's a book for you! It's "Gridiron Belles"...a guide to Saturdays in Dixie, by Christie Leigh Mueller. This book is a guide for every Southern belle with all the must-knows for becoming a Gridiron Belle--fashion, etiquette, football 101, and Gameday foods.

Author Christie Leigh Mueller {in the middle} with designer Annabelle Laroque {on the right} at Annabelle's shop in Columbia, South Carolina...for a Gridiron Belle book signing. LOVE the Laroque dresses the girls are wearing!

You can visit the author's site here and purchase the book for $24.99.

How cute are these school sashes to wear with your dresses?!...by Annabelle Laroque. You can also get your monogram on these sashes...love them:)

How cute is this y'all?
Of course, your koozie MUST match your Gameday outfit. Check out these custom monogrammed koozies from Invite Cottage.

These koozies are from a new company I'm excited about...Southern Dignity. In December, they will be offering Southern clothing for a Southern lifestyle...classic style and rich tradition. Specializing in the qualities that define our culture and cater to the men and women that exemplify it.

You can also have a custom wreath made to show your school spirit...check out the fabulous wreaths at this Etsy shop here.

In addition to the usual Gameday foods of chicken wings, slider burgers, dips, chips, et cetera, these brownies made in the shape and design of footballs would be a hit at the table!

Cake pops are all the rage now. For the cutest, most show-stopping cake pops ever, visit Marilyn at Pink Martinis and Pearls. She posted a tutorial here for these awesome pops! Aren't they the best?! I LOVE them!!!

Celebrating Miss Janice Day!

That's what husband calls it-- "Miss Janice Day"! It's my birthday and I'm celebrating...it'all about ME! Cards, presents, facebook birthday wishes, e-mails, texts, happy birthday tweets, a cute dress, a cute pocketbook, dinner, cake & ice cream...and pink champagne! Ooh la la! Everyday should be "Miss Janice Day"!

"HERE'S WHAT I WORE" My dress is the 'Carolina Cup' style designed especially for moi, by Annabelle Laroque.
The silk monogrammed sash sealed the deal on this dress for me!

I carried a 'Bosom Buddy Bag' available from The Pink Daisy. The pink and lime green sandals are by Jack Rogers. I wore my pearl necklace and pearl stud earrings along with my rollring wedding band by Cartier. My lipstick was 'Laser Pink' by Chanel, my pedicure was 'Lovie Dovie' by Essie, and my fragrance of choice for the evening was 'Mademoiselle' by Chanel. My iPhone cover was lime green and my ponytail was adorned with a Chanel barrette.
I first saw these precious pocketbooks in the March/April issue of Southern Lady Magazine and just knew I had to have one...the 'Bosom Buddy Bag' from The Pink Daisy.

After a fabulous dinner out, we enjoyed desserts with pink champagne!
