The Art of Accessories: Golf Style

I’m Going To Be Honest

dwj — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 00:45:23 +0000

I haven’t seen much or had much to write about in the world of golf style lately. I’ve been waiting to find lots of wonderful things to share, but I just haven’t found as much as I would like out there. So, if you know of something or a site that might peak my interest, leave it in the comments (the 2 of you that read this blog) and perhaps I’ll get back on the golf blogging wagon.

For now, you can definitely find me at The Art of Accessories.

Runway Style

I’ve been tracking all of the NYC fashion shows and I had to check out what Lacoste was going to present.

How fabulous would it be to play in this outfit? I love the green and white checkered polo and the printed cropped pants. It’s so fresh that it doesn’t even matter how your game play is when you look this good!

If only I had the budget…

Public Course Dress Code

dwj — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 13:00:48 +0000

The other day my husband and I went to East Potomac Golf Course after work. It’s a fairly inexpensive public golf course with 1 9 hole course and two 18 hole courses. We were going just to hit a few balls at the range when we bumped into a friend and realized the course was eerily empty for a Thursday after work, so we decided to play a quick 9. I was dressed for the range, not to play, but at East Potomac they don’t care what you play in.

I had on the Underarmour HeatGear short sleeve t-shirt in glacier blue with a pair of khaki shorts. It was a hot evening and it was probably the best thing I could’ve worn on the course. I felt cool and light and wasn’t even thinking about how much I was sweating or how uncomfortable I was, because I wasn’t! I love these t-shirts to work out in because they’re thin and light but feel like cotton. Now if they could just make this with a collar, I’d be set for wherever we play!

Friday’s Fabulousness

dwj — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 13:00:12 +0000

Today’s fabulousness is really more about you being fabulous than the product itself. With the Democratic National Convention and the Republican National Convention I felt inspired to do something about voting today.

I thought this Vote Soap was very cute. Buy it for your roommate or friend who hasn’t registered to vote yet. Buy it for yourself and use it on election day!! If you haven’t registered to vote, do it now!! You can click here to take you to a page to register to vote right now. And make sure you’ve updated your registration too!

Whether you’re a democrat, republican or independent make sure you vote this year!

Have a great weekend!

Sunday Bags

dwj — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 13:00:24 +0000

I’ve realized that Sunday bags are my obsession. I like to have a small and compact bag to carry my essential clubs with me on the metro so that I can play after work. Convenience is key for me!

That’s why I’m feeling the Bennington Bazooka bag in Brick. It’s slim, holds just the right amount of clubs and it’s in a great red! It’s what makes playing 9 after work fun and convenient!

Fall’s Hottest Color

dwj — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 13:00:13 +0000

If you’re a reader of my other blog The Art of Accessories, then you’re fully aware that I’m looking forward to fall’s hottest color, purple. What you may not know by reading this blog is that I’m a big fan of Paula Creamer. I think she’s a great player, but she also dresses very cutely and plays with a pink ball at times. So it justifies my love of colorful golf balls.

Today I’m digging the Blossoms Colorburst Collection Golf Balls in Purple Rain. Why? Because it’s purple AND they named it Purple Rain. That’s like the best Prince Album ever…a timeless classic. So perhaps I will sign ‘Purple Rain’ while I’m playing and channel my inner Paula Creamer?

Doubt it, but at least my golf balls are cute!

Extended Vacation

dwj — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 13:00:59 +0000

After a very long weekend with late nights and celebrations, I’m not prepared to give you anything this morning…I know. I’m sorry.

I promise after a good night’s rest I’ll be back on Wednesday!

Until then…

Friday’s Fabulousness

dwj — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 13:00:09 +0000

This Friday I’m all about shoes. I’ve got a fabulous pair of shoes that you won’t believe featured on my other site, so you should definitely check them out. But today’s Friday’s Fabulousness for Golf Style is by Foot Joy!

I bumped into a display the other day at a golf store and knocked the Footjoy LoPro Active off the display and thought, well that’s a very sharp Footjoy!

I love the black and white with just enough of the hot pink to make it feminine. Of course because my husband was taking forever (he’s getting a new set of irons…which means he can’t buy any new clubs until 2013!) I had to try them on.

They’re very comfy and they fit my foot very snuggly. No slipping on the green when you’re wearing these. They can definitely go with most of what’s in my golf wardrobe. But alas…I own two great pairs of golf shoes already and I just can’t justify buying another.

So can you buy them and I can just swoon over yours?

Have a fabulous Labor Day weekend! I’ll be celebrating my 30th tomorrow and I’ll be back up and blogging on Tuesday.

Wild Side

dwj — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 13:00:29 +0000

I know that we’re entering into fall, but I love playing in a great pair of shorts and a long sleeve polo and golf jacket. Something about the crisp fall air compared to the oppressive humidity of July and August in DC is just refreshing. I’m not as worn out at the end of a round as I am in the summer.

I have a couple of basic long sleeve polos and I wanted to find a cute pair of bermuda shorts to pair with it for the fall. I immediately fell in love with Pink Tee’s Floral Bermuda Shorts.

The floral print is a bit wild but I love the classic black and white print and the red band. Add a red hat and I’m cute as a button for a weekend of 18. I can’t wait for fall to be in full swing!

I’ve Got Goals

dwj — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 13:00:28 +0000

As my 30th birthday is getting nearer I’m realizing I don’t really have any goals in life and everyone keeps saying, “when you turn 30 you really start to think about the future.” Not I. I’ve been looking for goals and then all of a sudden they slapped me in the face…

Recently, my very stylish and cute cousin had the opportunity to interview Nina Garcia about her latest book The One Hundred: A Guide to the Pieces Every Stylish Woman Must Own. I didn’t pick up the first book, because I like pictures and she only has illustrations in the book, but my cuz (that is short for cousin) convinced me that I should pick up both of the books because the illustrations were fabulous (and timeless) and the books were really good.

So I listened, but what I’ve discovered is that I can now use Nina Garcia and her book The 100 as part of my goals!! Are you confused? I know, it’s random, but somehow I got to this point.

My latest goal for 30 is going to be to see if I can own all 100 of the 100 stylish pieces every woman should own as described in Nina’s book. I may not get all 100 because I doubt I will agree with or love all of them, but hey, it’s something to try. I may even make up my own list along the way and add a few essential golf pieces to the list.

Lofty idea? Yes.

Tangible? For a shopaholic like myself, I again say yes.

I’m going to read the book this weekend on my flight to Boston (YAY for Rebecca’s wedding and my 30th birthday!) and I’ll keep you guys up to date on how much progress I make on my 100. I may even make my own list of 100 along the way.

I mean a girl’s gotta have goals, right? Did you create any goals for a significant birthday?
