Tailgaiting in style.

Who doesn't love tailgating? It's the perfect excuse to enjoy the outside, great food and drinks, and and opportunity to show off your outfit for whichever team you may choose to support. This super easy headband is a cute touch to go with your tailgating apparel. This will take you all of one minute (I'm not kidding). All you will need is a stretchy headband, a hot glue gun and a patch depicting the logo of the team of your choice. Simply glue the patch to the head band using the hot glue gun. See, told you I wasn't exaggerating about the one minute. 

You can wear this headband in whichever way you choose, personally I enjoy hippie style.

Go team :]

Font-tastic.

I have always held a great appreciation for unique fonts and elegant calligraphy. My favorite site to download fonts from is www.dafont.com, and the best part is they are absolutely free!

Some of my favorite fonts these days are:

I couldn't help but add that last one :]

Here is a great tutorial about how to create your own fake calligraphy:

Trick-or-treat, isn't my costume sweet?!

Halloween is by far the best holiday out there in my opinion. The only down fall is you sometimes end up dishing out a fortune for a costume that, let's be honest, usually doesn't have much to it. So my advice to you is to get creative this Halloween and make your own costume! Not only is it much cheaper to make your own threads, but the chances of someone showing up in the same garb as you is slim to none.

Here are some great sites that I have found with ideas for costumes to make yourself:

• http://ideas.coolest-homemade-costumes.com/
• http://www.creatingreallyawesomefreethings.com/diy-adult-costumes/
• Like practically every situation, pinterest is a savior in this area as well. 

Here's a glance at some of the costumes I have made in the past:

Mad Hatter & an Incredible

Black Swan & Indiana Jones

Black Cat & Monster

Peacock & Cat Woman

This years costume: a bat. Pictures to come! Embrace your creativity and this grand holiday, now get to brainstorming :]
