Style File Friday: Mad Rollin Dolls


Queens of the Damned is this, the second bout of the season, theme.  And yes you do get bonus points for dressing as a vampire.  Seriously there will be a prize awarded for the best vampire costume.  If you have yet to go to a MRD (Mad Rollin Dolls) bout (ie match, game, fight) you are in for a real treat.  The athletes- and yes they really are athletes are greatly entertaining even when the rules seem vague to the laymen.  The fans and crowd are very involved which creates for some of the best people watching in Madison.  If you have already been ordained by a MRD bout then why not bring a friend or two over to the dark side?  It is a truly Madison pastime and it seems the weather will be perfect for being indoors.

The Queens of the Damned Outfit:

Flower Cardigan: $58
Layered Necklace: $24
White Tee: $28
Mavi Denim: $98

Style File Friday: Cyclocross Nationals!


You may have noticed the influx of bikers in Verona/Madison starting Wednesday and chalked it up getting people out on their bikes enjoy the record breaking temps.  But you'd be mistaken, it's the Cyclcocross Nationals Championship that run thru Sunday and it is some seriously intense competition.  Yes, they did mean to schedule an event in Wisconsin in January and outside of all places and no these record high temps were not part of the plan.  Find out more about this mind blowing sport right here.  *You will want to wear some waterproof boots you don't mind getting completely covered in mud (I know of some in a certain sale room that would be perfect).  It looks like it is going to be the perfect weekend to get out of the house.  So take advantage of it while we still have it.  Also if you are there on Saturday stop in and say hi to Halley at the Chamber of Commerce tent/booth, she'll be there volunteering.

Cyclocross Nationals (spectator) Outfit:


Machu Picchu Sweater: $48
Purple Goose tee: $28
Nutty Necklace made locally: $36
Mavi denim: $98
