Looking at the scoreboard, it has been a year for the Panthers we don’t really need to discuss, but we are still dang fortunate to be able to watch football from the prettiest host city in the NFL. Regardless of the score, you can always look good cheering for the home team. Don’t even get me started on my girl Hodges’ Panthers Game Day Look. Hodges Miller is a former Carolina Panther TopCat and current Field Assistant to the TopCats. Hodges never misses a beat off the field, and as you can see in her Staud NFL Collection dress, she is hitting ALL the marks on the sidelines too. Shop The Edit + Get The Look!

Velvet, puffy sleeves and metallic... the 80's are officially back! Check out the entire article HERE.
Black + White + PANTHER Blue All Over
I don't know about the rest of you, but if you are anywhere in hollering distance of the Queen City, you've got your Panther Pride on, because the Cardiac Cats are back! Whether you are watching at the stadium, from the comfort of your own couch or at a bar or friend's house, we all know how important it is to look good while you are cheering for your team as one of the "nicest fans in the NFL". As Panther Pres, Danny Morrison (my secret heart throb) said, you can still be loud and respectful at the same time. Good Taste + Manners = Always a winning combo! This top is simple but perfect paired with black demin, and this dress would be oh so perfect for celebration attire, or shop any of the items in the below collage.

Carolina Panthers Style Lounge
This is pretty much how my night went down, in pictures. I hopped on over to my friend Katie's house, where I parked my car and we then hopped in her car (sippy cup in hand) to pick up our friend Chelsea. I am not at the game today (the below pic my husband just sent me from the stadium). Upon entering last night, we were greeted with hospitality, crudites and pinktinis. We made our way through the stadium to the team store that had been transformed into a Style Lounge. Fellow stylist Erica Hanks and her team did a great job putting together some hot football fashion looks. If you went to the game today, did you see? Records were spinning, manicures were curin' and there is some REALLY cute new game day merchandise. My favorite finds; a black sequin baseball style tee, and the piece de resistance, Panthers running tights! (See Katie below).
We all left the Style Lounge for Fahrenheit for one last Hoor-ah to celebrate one of my running besties, Jenn, (tall blonde bombshell) who is moving to DC for an opportunity that cannot be refused. This can only mean one thing... ROAD TRIP! The hottest, most awesome, most fun group of Boston Marathoners I ever did see! I sure am grateful for my running friends. Happy Panthers Sunday ya'll!
