We’re so excited to carry G Wear at both Gameday Cloth locations. They were featured on a local program in Dallas called D: The Broadcast on KTVDTV, hosted by Pat Smith & Courtney Kerr, among others. Courtney rocked her GWear with cuffed jeans, ankle boots and a statement necklace. But the best was the shout out we got at the end as a place to find G Wear locally! Check out the video!

 

You’ve Got The Love

I’m not the mushiest romantic in the world. Yes, perhaps my favorite movie is “Breakfast at Tiffanys” and I may drink my water out of a wine glass at times, but I prefer to think of that as more Vogue than girly. Judge if you may, but someone reading this is pulling their wine glass out of a cabinet right now and taking it to the faucet.

That being said, I love accessories and any reason to buy and wear more accessories to add to my ridiculous collection. With Valentines Day fast approaching, I’ve taken to a particular trend with gusto and made sure the store is also stocked accordingly. Love. Yes, the love trend is huge right now, seen on celebrities (like Bar Rafaeli picture below), it’s popular in necklaces, rings, tattoos and bracelets.

ImageI’ve made certain that our collection at Gameday Cloth includes this hot style as well as quite a few others I’m “loving” right now. (get it?)

Like I said, I don’t really need an excuse to collect more accessories, but February is as good a month as any to buy for yourself if you’re looking for a reason, and especially to buy for someone else. Below are some of my current favorites – perfect for a gift, or to keep for yourself.

1) The Nepal beaded bracelet. If you don’t already have one, get one. In fact, get a few.

2) Bangles and bracelets. This picture is chock full of trends, the cross wrap in bold colors, the Hope bead, the Love bangle. Pick a few and layer them on.

3) This purse necklace is absolutely adorable. Need I say more?

4)Yes, that is a mustache necklace. And a robot necklace. And an elephant necklace. I die.

5) Finally, if you have to give a little love, why not do it fashionably? The heart and locket looks expensive, but the cz’s keep it affordable. And the dual heart necklace is too cute the way it holds together when it hangs around the neck.

Gameday Runway

A couple weeks ago we hosted a runway show, styled by the fabulous New York fashion & beauty blogger Emily Loftiss of Loftiss Says. She pulled looks from Gameday Cloth & Ella Bleu to create what I personally think was sheer fantasticness.

Our cute models included Alex of Eat.Style.Dallas. and Carly Patterson, 2004 Olympic gold medalist, along with wonderful customers who volunteered to model whatever we threw at them. We got lots of love from local bloggers, including Molly from Pretty in Pink, Alexis of Stylish Gameday and even a shout out from Cynthia of Oh So Cynthia. All around, it was a fun night and if you missed it you need to make sure you not only watch the video from the night, but put it on your calendar next time we post an event.

On the Catwalk

This is one of my very favorite times of year. It’s not just the beginnings of football season AND Shark Week, but it’s Fashion Season! Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is gearing up in NYC, with every other show following around the world. And here in the retail world we have Fashion’s Night Out coming up September 6, 2012 to promote shopping, mixing and mingling.

Since we’ve never exactly followed the rules at Gameday Cloth (ie: pairing zip-back flat bills with cardigans and loafers on men, offering fabulous current trends in women’s sports apparel), we’re having our own night. Thursday, August 30th here in the store we will be kicking off football season. And unless you live under a rock, or just don’t really care about the unofficial sport of the South, then you already know the University of Michigan and the University of Alabama will be facing off at Cowboys Stadium that Saturday! (go SEC! *ahem*)

We’ll share more deets soon, but put it on your calendar for 2 WEEKS FROM TODAY! However, first and foremost, we are looking for models. As I said, it’s Fashion Season! We’re spicing up our usual Tailgate Party with a Fashion Show, displaying all the latest trends, styles and all-around amazingness we have to offer here at Gameday Cloth. But we need you, our pretty little friends, as our models. There’s store credit to be had or possibly, if you rock it hard enough, you can keep your clothes from us. Men & women, high school through “when did I graduate?” We’re looking for you all. Contact me directly if you want to talk about it but ACT FAST. This event is 2 weeks from today.

I’m giddy about it I’m so excited. We have so many cool things in store for you. It’s awesome.

Email me at jana@gamedaycloth.com. Let me know your basic info: male/female, size, coloring, team, age, etc. And make sure you put our Fashion Tailgate on your calendar!!! Thursday, Aug 30th. And we need YOU to get in on it and model with us.

BOOK IT!

BOOK IT! is a literacy program that’s been around for as long as I can remember. I don’t’ know if you remember your elementary school participating back in the day, but it was a big deal to get my Pizza Hut pizza! I won’t bore you with all the details, but suffice to say it’s all the rage again.

One – We have the super soft and vintage Tshirts on our website.

Two – 100% of the proceeds from the sale go back to YUM Brands and the BOOK IT! program

Three – Everything Tim Tebow touches turns to gold and he was recently named the spokesman for BOOK IT! (PS – We had the shirts in-store and online before this addition).

You can read more about the program here. If you’re a student and want the BOOK IT! program in your classroom talk to you teacher. If you’re a teacher, appeal to your principal to get this program in your school. Literacy should be a constant focus both in and out of our classrooms.
