These are a few of my favorite things...
The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. — F. Scott Fitzgerald
Football. The all-American sport. The gridiron. Helmet to helmet hits, quarterback sneaks, Hail Mary passes, John Madden and “He-Could-Go-All-The-Way.”
Fashion. London, Paris, Milan, New York. The runway. Six-inch heels, glossy magazine spreads, outrageous designs, and $900 Louboutin pumps.
Okay, so maybe football and fashion aren’t really opposing ideas of the mind, but my goal here is to write about both and prove they don’t have to be so contradictory. If I had the money, I’d proudly hang an authentic Adrian Peterson jersey next to my Marc Jacobs dresses. As it is, my jersey knockoffs hang next to my J. Crew cardigans and I couldn’t be happier. Sundays you’ll find me on the couch or at the bar catching the latest games. Monday I’ll be covering fashion week for the magazine I intern at. Football and fashion. As Julie Andrews would say (or sing, to be exact) these are a few of my favorite things.
