Tailgating punch - yay or nay?



So, this "Gridiron Punch" recipe from http://www.chow.com/ looks extremely simple to make (only three ingredients) . . .  but, I've never even heard of some of the ingredients!

The recipe is:

INGREDIENTS
  • 18 ounces (2 1/4 cups) naturally sweetened pineapple juice, chilled
  • 6 ounces Yellow Chartreuse, chilled
  • 6 (12-ounce) bottles amber ale, such as Fat Tire, chilled
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the pineapple juice and Chartreuse in a 3-quart container or punch bowl and stir to combine. Add the beer and gently stir to combine.

So, does anybody out there reading PGD know what Yellow Chartreuse is?  Is anyone willing to test out this recipe and report back?

Toasty, comfy, and cute!

tights+socks+boots

I love these boots!!! But the real secret to this look isn't the adorable boots, it's the mix of boots, slouchy wool socks, and black tights.  I can just imagine that this look is topped with an adorable red wool Mad Men style fitted dress or maybe a striped sweater dress.  So cute and extremely practical for football season!

PGD is back, and we're looking for blog contributors!

Hi y'all, PGD is back again after a much-too-long absence.  It's hard to blog without a working computer!  And sometimes blogging just has to fall to the wayside when life gets hectic. 

So, all apologies for disappearing for a while.  Now that football season is in full swing, I'll try to keep up with regular posting.

On a related note, I'm looking for PGD contributors!  If you'd like to become a PGD poster, just submit a sample post by emailing it to projectgameday@gmail.com.  Your post can be on game day fashion, cocktails, a great recipe, crafts, hostess gifts, decorating, or anything else related to football season in Arkansas!  A few people will be chosen to become contributors to PGD, so we can keep the posts coming nonstop!

Email your photos to projectgameday@gmail.com!  I love posting inspiration photos, recipes, and ideas, but nothing compares to real Arkansas game day photos.  Please help me keep PGD full of the real thing by sending in your photos, whether they be pics of you game day outfit, cute little ones, tailgating snacks, watch party, or anything else PGD-related.

Get ready for game day

If you aren't already jumping out of your skin with anticipation for football season, just click on this awesome video put together by John Whiteside (who is clearly as talented as he is obsessesed).  If this doesn't get you fired up for football, then you probably should have gone to Hendrix.





Arkansas game day fashion - my definition

I've always thought that Arkansas girls have a definable and unique sense of game day style, separate from other SEC schools. While Ole Miss girls tailgate in full-on evening wear, and Florida girls tend towards itty bitty tank tops and flip flops, hog fans usually rock something feminine, flattering, and classy. Our game day looks tend to play up tradition - we like looking classic, polished, and pretty. It's more about style and grace than about showing tons of skin or wearing your fanciest and most expensive dress. We tend to pick flattering classic shapes that we can wear year after year rather than trendy pieces. So, while there are always plenty of exceptions, for the most part Arkansas girls show up on game day in well thought out outfits that our mamas and grandmothers can be proud of.

It's finally here! Razorback Football Season - Wooo Pig!



This weekend officially kicks off the best time of year for Arkansas Razorbacks fans - football season!  I won't be there in person (we are heading to Philadelphia for a wedding, and you better believe I'll be wearing Razorback red!), but I will definitely be there in spirit.

On a related note, sorry for the lack of activity on PGD recently -  moving has kept me busy - but I promise to pick it up.  Keep checking in!
