A Super Bowl XLVI Style Guide

Amanda — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:34:34 +0000

Going to a Super Bowl party this Sunday? Whether you hate football, can’t live without it, or don’t really care either way, Super Bowl Sunday has become an unofficial national holiday. With that being said, many women feel it’s often difficult to pick the perfect outfit for this all-American occasion.

This year, Super Bowl XLVI is a showdown between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots, and as you read in “Ritani Man” Eric’s post yesterday, it is sure to be quite the game! Luckily, wearing the colors of either team will not only show your support, it will also have you looking extremely patriotic at the same time. So, here are some style tips based on which Super Bowl spectator personality suits you.

“My heart is in this game.”

If you’re a die hard fan of either team, then wear that team gear with pride! Pair your favorite jersey with jeans or leggings and some high-cut boots. With this look, I would suggest more classic accessories like diamond studs and a simple bracelet.

“I am a __________fan for the day.”

If you’re not really a fan, but still want to show support for a team, this year’s Super Bowl makes that very easy. [HINT: For either team wear red, white, and blue.] If you want to get technical, the Patriots’ colors are Nautical Blue (Navy), New Century Silver, Red, and White and the Giants’ colors are Blue, Red, White, and Gray. So really the only way to distinguish between what team you are rooting for and the opponent is what shade of BLUE you’re wearing. (Keep that in mind if you’ll be in the company of serious fans.) In this case, my personal selection would be jeans, a white top, and high cut boots. As for accessories, I would go with a red scarf and maybe some fun jewelry!

“I’m watching for the halftime show and the commercials.”

If you could care less about the game and are just taking part in the celebration because everyone else is, then you most likely could care less if you’re wearing a certain team’s colors or not. (Don’t worry; the commercials are usually pretty epic and Madonna is the half-time entertainment.) In this situation, you can wear anything you want, but don’t get too crazy. After all, these festivities are centered around a sporting event, not an awards show. My pick would be an oversized sweater, leggings, and boots. For this look you can be a little more playful with your accessories.

No matter which category you classify yourself under, keep this information in mind when choosing your Super Bowl attire: BE COMFORTABLE! Super Bowl Sunday is the second-largest day for U.S. food consumption—add in the alcoholic beverages and it’s safe to say that wearing clothes that leave you little to no wiggle room, probably isn’t the best idea.

Finally, the most important rule: HAVE FUN! We’ve all heard the expression “Sunday Funday,” well Super Bowl Sunday takes it to a whole new level so embrace that and look fabulous while you’re at it!

First Step: Plan the Wedding, Second Step: Find a Groom?

Amanda — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:08:31 +0000

We all know that girl. The girl who has been planning her wedding since the day she learned what a wedding was. Let’s face it; some of us ARE that girl. There is certainly nothing wrong with dreaming about your special day and making casual notes when you see something that you would love to have in your wedding, but is it possible to plan too much, too soon? According to a “single bridezilla”, the answer is NO. In fact, to her, it’s not out of the ordinary to have your entire wedding planned before you even meet the groom!

Single Bridezilla: a woman who plans every detail of her big day before she’s even engaged.

As seen in a recent Good Morning America segment, these groom-less gals have chosen everything from their bridal gowns to their honeymoon destinations. While being so well prepared may make an often times stressful process a bit easier, getting too ahead of yourself may make the process that much harder in the long run. Keep in mind: change is a constant theme of life; something you once loved for your wedding could have you saying, “What was I thinking?!” when it’s actually time for you to tie the knot.

So, is this whole concept just another fad? Probably not. With online inspiration boards such as Pinterest becoming a virtual hub for wedding planning, it looks like the ”single bridezilla” is here to stay. For the women out there who find this sounding all too familiar, let’s hope a beautiful Ritani engagement ring will be the catalyst to set all of your wedding plans into motion!

Dating in the Social Media Age: How to Play It Cool

Eric — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 20:45:13 +0000

The first date — the first kiss — the first time you say “I love you.” Dating is filled with milestones that go back to the days when dating was called just “going steady” and holding a girl’s hand was one of the biggest thrills of a teenage guy’s life.

From friend requests, to writing on walls, to changing your status to “in a relationship” and then “engaged” “married”, etc. These are brand new dating conventions of the modern age and are now just as important as the ones listed above. Social media has added a whole new complexion to dating, and how you deal with these new milestones can make or break a relationship.

The best way to handle these – either a kiss or a poke – is to play it cool. Don’t rush things! You’ll find that good things happen when you take a back-seat and just enjoy the ride. For example, you’d never want to rush that first kiss, for fear of being denied and just making things awkward. And you wouldn’t tell a girl that you love her after just a few dates (trust me, it’s never a good idea). So, in light of this, you should apply the same rules of your practical life to your online life. Don’t ever rush a relationship request — this can scare your potential girlfriend away before you even realize what happened. Have a discussion first, and make sure you both are ready to announce to your respective social networks that you’re in a relationship with one another. Also, refrain from “stalking” at all costs. Allow your special lady to have her own online life!

So, guys, remember follows the “rules of engagement” – and – when you’re ready to change that relationship status from “in a relationship” to “engaged,” make sure you check out Ritani and our beautiful collections of diamond engagement rings to pop the question!
