Game Day Style: Notre Dame

When your best friend asks you to style her an outfit, it creates no ordinary challenge. There is a balance of creating what you know she will like and challenging her to push herself towards trends she may not like. With this in mind, and me being the option oriented person I am, I clearly created three choices for the perfect outfit for her first Notre Dame tailgate. One for the prep, one for the girl who teeters back and forth and one for the fashionista (biased).

Cake-spiration

I made a decision earlier this year to hold off on writing many posts regarding our upcoming wedding. This was mainly due to the fact that I am super excited about all of the little details we are planning, and I want to keep them a surprise for our guests. However, it’s time for me to make a decision on our cake, and I am being a little indecisive on which direction to go. The options these days are incredible and overwhelming at the same time. If I have learned anything in this process though, I will more than likely combine a few of the below and create my own version #highmaintenance.

Here is some of my inspiration below, any favorites?

Headboard on a budget

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again, I love ZGallerie. A constant source of affordable accessories and furniture, they have mastered the art of creating classic yet trend-forward pieces. Now, we all know upholstered headboards are all the rage (clearly, this is my second blog post on them), and they have been for quite some time. However, acquiring the perfect one can either be costly or rather time consuming if you consider the DIY version. I have a hard enough time cutting in a straight line, so I have long given up on creating my own. Enter ZGallerie, who now offer a brilliant selection of bold and classic headboards. From Chevron to Suzani, they have it all and of course at a reasonable price point (starting at $449).
