Patriots

It's the last day of football week on the blog. What did you think?  I like using these colors for inspiration because they are so saturated and bright, no pastels, no neons, just hard color.

Today's post is for the Patriots.  A little red, a little blue with some hints of white inbetween.

Converse, Jack Purcell CP Navy, $55
I love my jack purcells. They're perfect for weekends and running around the city.  You can throw them in the washing machine and they will look as good as new.


J Crew, Silk Camisole, $39
You can never have enough of the basics, and this red silk cami you will wear year round for many years to come.

I'll admit, I've spent money on Citizens jeans and they're great, but Gap will always be my go to for any style of denim.

Old Navy, Helmet Tee, $19
I love a soft, comfy, throw back tee like this.

Blue and red doesn't always have to scream Fourth of July.  Break it up to make an outfit pop with red or grounded with navy.

Be fabulous today!

Blue and Yellow

Hey lovebugs,
As you know it's football colors week here on TCB.  I'm going through my favorite teams and using their uniform colors for inspiration.  Today we're talking blue and yellow for the West Virginia Mountaineers.  The BF loves college football, where I'm more of an NFL girl, but his fave team is West Virginia.

Oh this design is so special, the dress is soft and feminine without being overly sweet.


Shabby Apple, Bellissima, $78
I think you could get a few more wears out of this sunshine-y dress before it gets chilly.  I might even pair it with some brown flat knee high boots.

The zipper front is different and interesting, I like the stripes too.

Zara, V-neck jumper, $16
Simple and classic, great v neckline, and just lovely for fall.

Blue and yellow is classic.  It can be considered preppy or even nautical, but when worn correctly it is crisp and professional too.

Be fabulous today.

Green and White

Today is my hometown team, the Philadelphia Eagles.  Philly fans are notoriously bad but hey, I think it's part of their charm.  I also love their colors: green and white.  White jewelry or a crisp white button down shirt mixed with a deep green.

I love Jess LC because she is a girl on a mission to do what she loves and make it her job.


The way these shorts lay so flat on the body makes them very attractive, because they had the potential to be a puffy mess.

Classic, crisp, and just perfect for any occasion.

Modcloth, Four-est Square Dress, $44
This is to be worn while drinking a Manhattan or something equally retro and chic.

I love a good, deep green, it's saturated and decadent, and you mixed with white, it really pops.  

Be fabulous today!

Gold and Red-skins

Hey there lovebugs,
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  This week is going to be specially themed for my favorite time of year: football season.  There is something about the NFL kickoff yesterday that made me want to celebrate on TCB all week long.  Each day I'll take one of my favorite teams and make my picks by their uniform colors.  Kind of like my nail polish inspired posts but just a little tougher!  What are your favorite football teams this season?

Today we'll start with my fave team: Washington Redskins.  I'm not a native DC-girl but now that my driver's license says so, I have committed to the red and yellow.

Zara, polka dot shirt, $79
Who else is pumped that Zara has an online store now? This silk tunic is great for work or play.

J Crew, Sperry Topsider Cormorant Slip on, $59
Going to need these this winter, great for walking to work when its messy outside.

Gap, Suede Bow Pumps, $79
I'm loving these with black patterned tights.

Mocloth, Discoteque Savvy Dress, $53
I've decided I'm obsessed with this dress, it simple, flashy, and sexy.

Red and gold/yellow may be the colors of the Washington Redskins but these colors are also great additions to your wardrobe to act as a pop of color.  

Be fabulous today!
