While many of the bloggers in your feed flood it with pretty new things from fashion week, I’ll be coming live from the significantly less chic Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium. On the bright side, they have lots of beer.
No but really, as much as I’d love to be taking in some shows from New York, I realize there’s not much to have FOMO about, other than maybe missing out on a Gigi sighting. Maybe that’s a sign that I’m getting older (woof) or that we’re saving up (and cutting back) to, hopefully, move in the next year. Either way I’ll be stalking shows online and through all those Instagram pics (some tips on that below).
Between the Canes last night, the Cards and Cats today and the first Dolphins game tomorrow – I’ve got way too much football to watch to worry about fashion week FOMO anyways.
* Starting things off with a shameless plug. Next week, I’m hosting a little mid-week shopping party at J.Crew with my pal Grace. Stop by The Paddock Shops on Wednesday September 16th from 6 to 8 pm for shopping, styling and sweet treats. And a sweet deal of 15% off (including all the new goodies) when you spend $125. I’m coveting this cozy flannel.
* If you’re looking for some insider fashion week coverage, check out Le 21eme. Photographer Adam Katz Sindig shouts that he’s not a street style blog but he captures models and the fashion elite on the go better than almost anyone. I love the movement and detail in all his images.
* There’ll be no Serena Slam. Is Drake to Blame?
* You’ve probably seen it by now but Justin and Jimmy are at it again.
* Love this article from Karen {Where Did You Get That?} on the current state of blogging. What do you think – do all blogs post the same thing? Has the rise of the medium made everything homogenized. I’d tend to say yes and am currently fighting a serious battle to stay away from the status quo.
* This article about two Gawker writers adventures at the LC Lauren Conrad show is all kinds of LOLZ.
No really, I laughed out loud while I sat alone watching the Miami football game. I had to do something to distract me from the mediocrity on the field. See I did it again – combined fashion with football.
* I fell in love with the silky trench Jacey {Damsel in Dior} wore last week but was decidedly less enthusiastic about the price tag. Then I stumbled upon this doppleganger at a significantly more reasonable price tag and it was true love at first sight. Yes, it might not be as fancy but the $68 price tag made it twice as nice.
* Your favorite little kid needs this t-shirt.
* Louisville Love: Have you tried out Joella’s Hot Chicken yet? I’m thinking that, by now, the long lines have subsided. I waited 45 minutes for take out the first week. Clearly I was dedicated to getting my hands on that fried chicken.
Even if there’s a line, it’s worth the wait. Don’t wuss out, go with at least the ‘Hot’ level of chicken and try it with the Joe’s Sauce (I think that’s what it’s called). Make it a combo and be sure to get a soda. Not sure what the brand is it’s a soda fountain of those deliciously syrupy craft sodas. I got the Black Cherry and was in sugar heaven. They have thin fries – my favorite, country style green beans (with lots of bacon!) and a super rich white cheddar mac n cheese. You convinced yet?
* Last but not least, have you seen the Petite Randy Moss DirecTV commercial? I’m a sucker for these commercials, they get me chuckling (sorry, it’s the most accurate description of what actually happens) every time. Oh and this couple’s Drunk History video of their relationship is all kinds of goals.
