The Sunday Afternoon Quarterback #6: Surviving the Kinnick Graveyard of Ranked Teams
#10 Penn State Nittany Lions 17 – #17 Iowa Hawkeyes 12 Kinnick Stadium. A stripe out. The infamous pink locker room. Primetime on a Saturday night. This creates an atmosphere that inspires fear in ranked teams that visit Iowa. In 2008, I watched as #3 Penn State’s national title hopes were lost on a last second field goal to a 5-4 Hawkeye team. In 2010, #5 Michigan State came to Kinnick and walked out being beaten 37-6. The 2011 season saw #13 Michigan defeated by an unranked Hawkeye team. In 2016, an unranked Iowa team defeated #2 Michigan on a last second field goal, a win that would help set up Penn…

Inspired by Living Outside the Stacks: Style Icons & Link Up On the Edge #149
This is a kind of a double “inspired by” post…inspired by Daenel’s look that was inspired by Nicole Richie for last month’s Fab 40’s theme of Style Icons. My style icon for that post was Gwen Stefani as you may probably already be aware…since I ended up sharing two Gwen-inspired outfits. But when I saw Daenel’s super chic boho outfit, I knew immediately that I wanted to create something similar. If you don’t already know Daenel, let me introduce her. She is the creative and super stylish librarian behind the blog Living Outside the Stacks. In Daenel’s own words, she has “the research skills of a librarian, the preservation skills…

Wednesday Wish List: Spring Florals From Rosegal
“Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking.” -Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada But seriously, nothing screams “Spring is coming!” louder than a brightly colored bouquet splashed across your clothing. And no one needs the arrival Spring more than I do as I slowly emerge from this frozen cocoon I have been swathed in for the past few months. So once I finally dig myself out from under all the ice, warm myself in front of a glowing fire (or maybe just an dry, arid space heater set at a temperate 80 degrees), I will be ready to literally smell the roses. Being firmly of the mindset that “fake it ’til you…

Mini Dress or Dress for Mini People?
If you remember a few weeks back, I posted a Weekend Wish List of items from Just Fashion Now with a $150 Giveaway hosted by the company itself. In the midst of moving, I never even got around to checking who the winners were! The winners have been announced on the Just Fashion Now Blog in case you were wondering! As a thank you from Just Fashion Now for spreading the word about their giveaway, I was allowed to choose an item for myself. I picked this Keyhole Long Sleeve Boho Floral Printed Boho Mini Dress. Here’s the catch on this one…they called this a mini dress! In general, mini dresses…

How to Wear a Dress Over Jeans & Link Up On the Edge #34
All the pretty Spring fashions are on the racks and are oh so irresistible! And my Spring wardrobe is whispering sweet nothings in my ear as I long for warmer temperatures so I can bring them out of the closet and into the sunlight. But alas, it is still too cold to wear short sleeves and dresses without leggings. One way to start wearing those Spring dresses and stay warm is to layer them over jeans. You have seen my LulaRoe Carly dress on the blog before here in the beginning of Fall when the weather was just starting to cool down. Today, I bring you the Winterized version of…
