Five on Friday: College Basketball

March 18, 2016 by DetroitDuchess 3 Comments

March Madness began this week and I hope Michigan goes far this year. I figured I would share a few of my favorites to really share your Wolverine spirit (and I’m sure you could find these in your favorite college colors as well).

1. NCAA Michigan Wolverines Women’s Yoga Capris ($24.99)

I don’t know about you but I like to wear my activewear around the house, so why not wear Michigan yoga pants while watching the game?

2. Let Loose by RNL T-Shirt ($29.99)

I love the burnout look of this shirt!

3. Michigan Wolverines Necklace ($48.99)

I liked all the little charms on this necklace.

4. Michigan Hail Yes Shirt ($39.99)

This shirt is so perfect, I love it!

5. University of Michigan NCAA Metallic Body Jewelry ($11.24)

I thought these would be a different take on temporary spirit tattoos.

Do you have any college favorites?

Labor Day Weekend Recap

September 4, 2013 by DetroitDuchess 2 Comments

John and I had a great time celebrating Labor Day this weekend by not working. On Friday night, we hit up the Arts, Beats & Eats festival in Royal Oak.

SmashMouth played at 8 p.m. and we figured we would go and check them out. I still remembered some of the songs from my high school days. Unfortunately, we didn’t stay too long after the first show because there was a freak monsoon and we had to retreat to the local watering hole.

John and I before the monsoon

On Saturday our big day had finally arrived, the first Michigan game of the season! Woo hoo! I had gotten great seats for John as part of his birthday present a few weeks ago. We love this time of year – tailgating and hanging out with all of our friends – all while watching Michigan kick some butt!

Enjoying the tailgate

You can check out my Five on Friday post for all of my Michigan gear. I have to give my husband credit for touching up this photo, he is my official blog photographer. It was a great game – Michigan won 59-9. John got some great pictures and was really excited to see some of the freshmen get some playing time.

We spent the rest of the weekend relaxing, grilling and having a great time. I’m so glad that college football is back and can’t wait for next weekend.

How did you celebrate Labor Day weekend?

5 on Friday: Michigan Edition

August 30, 2013 by DetroitDuchess 2 Comments

I was looking forward to today’s Five on Friday Post with A Liz Adventures, The Good Life Blog, Hello Happiness and Carolina Charm. because I couldn’t wait to do a Michigan edition!

This weekend, I am most excited about Michigan football! My husband and I are going to the first game against Central and we can’t wait to check out the team this year. I’ve purchased a few new items for this season of tailgating and I have a few more that I still want. Here are my top Michigan must-haves:

Michigan Wolverines Ladies Navy Blue Braided Dream Tube Dress ($39.95): I just bought this for Saturday’s game and it should be at my house anytime now. I hope it fits!

Wolverine Tube Dress

University of Michigan Polka Dot Womens Rain Boots ($19.99): I picked these up last year at Meijer. They are perfect for those rainy, muddy games!

Michigan Polka Dot Rain Boots

DaynaU University of Michigan Kukui Nut Necklace ($19.95): I got mine when we went to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl a couple years back and I think it brings good luck.

Kukui Nut Necklace

Coach Madison Wristlet ($48): When you go to a game at the Big House you can’t bring anything in with you, except for a tiny little wristlet, so you have to get a cute one. This style is new and will fit in perfectly with the fall trends.

Coach Madison Wristlet

Michigan Wolverines Temporary Tattoos ($3.95): I LOVE showing my spirit at tailgates and I always have some sort of face tattoo at every game. I can’t wait to get all decked out on Saturday!

Michigan Temporary Tattoos

Those are my top five must-have items for this weekend’s tailgate in Ann Arbor. Let me know if you have any great Michigan gear that I should add to my list.

If I haven’t mentioned it yet in this post…GO BLUE!

What are you most looking forward to this season?
