Eye of the Tiger

Coming off of a roaring weekend, it seemed only fitting to share my new obsession: tiger clothing. 

Entering the second year of season tickets to Memphis Tiger basketball with JT (and attempting to make it to some tiger football games, too), I decided it was high time I update my blue apparel and mix in some tiger stripes. To my delight, it seems that tiger/animal prints are here to stay and now I have not only options, but choices when it comes to which tiger shirt I want to don come game day. 

 

[instead of purchasing 15 tiger head T-shirts, I decided these stripes make a good alternative]

 

[I know, this is technically men's, but it look so comfy for winter games]

 

[this is so presh; and a steal for $13.50]

 

[this is perfect for work or a more sophisticated tiger tailgate]

 

[ loving this for football games in the Mid-South heat]

 

[perfect accessory for winter games]

 

[blue + tigers = perfection]

 

[ click here for dueling tigers-- p.s. this one's organic]

 

[the eye of the tiger, need I say more?]

 

[the shirt that began my search]

 

[tribal tiger sweater]

 

[FY Tunic]

 

[rawr]

 

[Kenzo gold tiger jewelry? Where do I sign?]

So, If you see me near the FedExForum from November to March (pending Grizz games and the Justin Timberlake concert), ideally I'll be in one of these with a gold tiger around my neck.

Taste of the Town recap

Told ya I'd update you after the Germantown Taste of the Town, and here's my proof. Aside from sampling and judging the tasty snacks from over 38 booths, there was a live auction (including special guest appearances from U of M basketball coaches Josh Pastner and Melissa McFerrin), a silent auction, entertainment, and select wine and beverage donors (including Fireball, a Todd fav).

 {loved getting to hang out with Em and Ben while I "worked"}

 {they even got their picture taken for Germantown magazine :)}

 {As a judge, I was paired with a U of M Hospitality Management student to aid me in my scoring. Mine, Kiva Tabor, was the absolute best, considering she's an aspiring foodie who's already traveled to Italy and New Orleans to study culinary art. Watch out for this one to one day open a restaurant in Memphis with a unique fresh feel.}

 {Even got to hang out with some of Memphis' elite, Coach Josh Pastner (U of M men's basketball coach for those of you living under a rock) and mighty cute elite if I do say so myself...}

{Last but not least, the reason I went, to "work." It was a tough job, but someone had to do it. Other judges included radio personality Karen Perrin}

Overall, a top night, and I'd highly recommend attending next year!
