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.

I’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.

There’s loads and loads more in store, as well as plenty of options for the men. And by the way, is anyone hearing this song in their head just by reading the title?

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.
