It seems like I'm always traveling – from Charlotte to New England, Charlotte to Alabama, or Charlotte to New Orleans.  If I'm lucky, I'm able to book a direct flight, but oftentimes, I have a layover.  Sometimes I have plenty of time between flights, and other times I'm running and barely make it before the door closes.  I usually have my smartphone in hand to keep track of the time, but that can be cumbersome when I'm also carrying my handbag and carry-on bag.  Since receiving my new ESQ Movado ESQ ONE™ watch I decided to put together a look that will make my travel a little easier.   My travel style is casual Read More ...

Post image for BET’s The Game – Episode 608

Here's the recap for BET's The Game Episode 608: Tasha listens to a message from Rick that he can't wait to see her at Malik's event tonight.  Pookie comes in carrying his last things into Tasha's home.  He says if he didn't have to unpack he would escort her to the event. Malik welcomes everyone to his event.  He asks who likes breasts.  He says breasts are out and asses are the new tig ol' bitties.  He shows a video of him eating a cheeseburger when a woman with a big booty walks by.  He asks himself why does he have to choose between his burger and the booty, when Read More ...

If you haven't noticed, the blog posts have been fewer in number the last couple of months and there are a couple of reasons for that.  One, I want to be able to bring you quality posts, rather than a larger quantity of posts.  As I stated in the 2012 In Review posts, my favorite ones are the personal posts – those filled with pictures and details from things I've experienced and events I've attended.  Expect to see lots more of those in 2013 (and not all will be football or fashion related.  I am Blitz And Glam so humor me as I bring more random, everyday posts, particularly with Read More ...

Can you believe that it has been 2 years since I started Blitz And Glam with my first post??  Wow!  I can't, but I can say that I have enjoyed every minute, every idea, every experience, every photo, and every post (even those when I had Blogger's Block and had no idea what to post about that week).  I've enjoyed sharing myself and two of my favorite things, football and fashion, with you and I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has read a post (and especially thankful if you've read many posts), left a comment, shared my posts, taken photos of me for my posts (my tripod thanks you), given Read More ...

Remember earlier this year when I told you that it was rumored that Marchesa would be designing apparel for the New York Jets?  Well, they did and it's here!  Tuesday night Marchesa and the New York Jets unveiled their exclusive collaboration at the NFL headquarters, with Commissioner Roger Goodell, New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, and the women of the "It's My Team" women's apparel ads in attendance.  The Marchesa tee comes in white and has "Jets" spelled out across the front in Swarovski crystals and is available at JetsShop.com for $110.  Georgina Chapman wore a couture version of the tee last night that is not available for sale.  According to InStyle magazine, Georgina Read More ...

To celebrate the official start of fall this weekend, I thought that I would post about one of my favorite things about fall – boots!  A couple of weeks ago I was in Belk department store and saw a sign in the women's shoe department about collegiate boots.  I didn't have time to inquire about the boots in-store, so when I got home later I looked them up on their site.  Sure enough, Belk sells cowboy-style boots with college logos on the leather.    Belk sells the Collegiate Gameday boots for women and men for the following schools: Appalachian State University Arizona State University Auburn University Baylor University Clemson University Duke University Read More ...

I showed you What I Wore during the day while in New York City for BlogHer 12.  Now, I want to show you What I Wore at night.  I think I was super excited about the night time events, because I could wear some of my favorite pieces from my closet, a couple of which were new.  I think I did a pretty good job of using the same colors for my "going out" clothes as I did with my daytime outfits – more pinks and purples.  I previously blogged about one of the events that I attended, Lipstick and High Heels, hosted by my friend Trina of The Baby Shopaholic.  Here's a Read More ...
