GAMEDAY | Away Game Travel Essentials

Gameday, Lifestyle Travel November 7, 2019

We are on the GEAUX again this weekend for one of the biggest college football games of the year! This is my fourth season traveling with the team, and it is one of the coolest experiences I have with this team and athletics staff.

When we headed to Tuscaloosa two years ago, I wrote a post on how to pack for an away game, and this year I’m sharing some of my newest favorite items to bring along.

1. LO & SONS BACKPACK

We get a new team-issued Nike backpack each year, so I’ve always traveled with a backpack as my carryon for team flights and travel in general. I find it to be the easiest, most comfortable and most efficient way to tote stuff around. I wanted to upgrade to a more adult/professional version of the backpack this year, so I bought this one from Lo & Sons. It has multiple pockets for organization and the backpack itself is pretty light. You can also take off the straps and make it a tote. I am very pleased with my investment (especially since I bought it at a discount), and I use it every day for work and on any of my other travel trips.

2. PORTABLE PILL ORGANIZER

This little box has been a game changer! I bought this portable pill organizer from Amazon a couple of years ago with the intention of using it for travel, and now I use it every single day. It stays with me at all times in my purse and I’m not having to carry around bulky bottles. You never know how you might feel on a trip, so I stock mine with Tylenol, Zyrtec, Benadryl…you name it! My little organizer has proven very beneficial on every trip.

3. TRAVEL TOILETRIES

I keep my toiletries bag fully packed throughout the entire football season and afterwards. I have mini sizes of everyday products that I use, hair ties, toothbrush, etc. and I try to refill it after every trip so it’s ready to go for the next one. This is an easy way to eliminate extra time and decisions when it comes to packing. Since I’m the world’s worst packer, I need distractions at an ultimate minimum!

This football season I am working with local haircare line Lubricity Labs whose products focus on managing frizz. Not only do Louisiana Ladies deal with constant frizz, but all the places we travel to for games are in the South, so I need to be frizz-free on the geaux as well! My travel sized bottles are perfect for away games.

(Since I have been using this shampoo and this conditioner, I can tell a noticeable difference in how long it takes my hair to air dry and how my curls are not so out of control!)

 

4. CROSSBODY BAG

Just like a backpack, a crossbody bag is the way to GEAUX when you’re on a trip. Traveling is made much easier when you are hands-free. My trusty Henri Bendel crossbody is no longer available, but I found a few new options for this season, like the Trinity Bag by Jon Hart. This style offers three bags in one, which is perfect for the girl on the GEAUX! It helps to organize your carryon items into the different bags for easy access plus one of the bags is clear so you are already stadium-approved for gameday! One of my favorite parts of this purse is that it is completely customizable from the color of each bag to the monogram you choose.

5. HAND SANITIZER + HAND WIPES

I typically feel a little icky when I am on a plane, and I always have to wash any clothes that I wore on a plane and sanitize my hands non-stop. This hand sanitizer smells like Whole Foods, and every time I use it, someone from a different row on the plane will smell it and ask me for some! I also love these hand towelettes that come in a variety of different scents. I pack these in my toiletry bag, purse and backpack so I can use them at all times. After I wipe them on my hands, I wipe off the area around me.

I would love to hear if there are any travel essentials you use that are super helpful when you are on the GEAUX! We only have two regular season away games left and at least a bowl game…but hopefully more than that!!

GEAUX TIGERS!

Gameday | September Sideline Style

Gameday, Style Gameday Outfit, Outfits, Sideline Style October 2, 2018

It’s been a wild and crazy September for the LSU Tigers! We played five games in one month, opened the season in Cowboys Stadium, won our first SEC game on a last-second field goal and beat two Top-10 teams in the first three weeks. Whew! We are currently undefeated and have already exceeded most people’s expectations.

I’m still over here wearing my all-time favorite pants on the sidelines most Saturdays (even though the clasp on the zipper is broke, and I had to find a binder clip the morning of the Auburn game to keep my pants up all day…). Some of my favorite gameday items throughout the first month of the season include this dress, this necklace and these shoes. I re-wore a top from 2016 for the Auburn game, because I was convinced it brought us good luck the first time I wore it (for Coach O’s first game as interim Head Coach vs Missouri when we set SEC offensive records), and I proved to be right when we beat Auburn in one of the most epic LSU games I have ever witnessed! You’re welcome, Tiger fans.

I’m glad I invested in this raincoat, because I needed it last weekend when it rained for the entire Ole Miss game. I even had to do my postgame interview with Coach O in the rain, so I’m glad my jacket was cute, because my hair and the rest of me was a MESS! I’m excited to get the month of October rolling, and we start out at the Swamp versus Florida. It’s going to be a challenge, but it’s been so much fun watching this team so far this season. Five games down and seven to geaux!

LSU Gameday with Kendra Scott

Gameday, Style Gameday Outfit, Outfits August 20, 2018

Just when I thought my jewelry boxe(s) were overloaded with enough purple and gold options to get me through at least the 2030 football season, Kendra Scott once again delivers with some new and fabulous gameday jewels. I have written before about how Kendra Scott is a one-stop shop for all of your gameday jewelry, but now the cult-favorite brand offers a whole new color palette tailored to your team’s specific colors – and I’m talking whatever color you wear when cheering on your team.

When I wrote about my 5 pieces to create the perfect gameday outfit, I included finishing off your outfit with some gameday accessories that represent your team. Like I mentioned above, I have tons of purple, gold and yellow options to choose from, but Kendra Scott has now designed the perfect LSU purple and LSU yellow to wear on gameday. This is, in fact, a very serious development.

I’m lucky that the ladies at our local Kendra Scott store in Baton Rouge once again helped get me ready for this upcoming LSU Football season with some new accessories to wear on the sidelines. There was no way I was leaving the store without these purple earrings…and quite a few other items!

One of my favorite services that Kendra Scott offers is the Color Bar where you can design your own pieces with over 50 styles and more than 30 colors to choose from. The possibilities are endless, and it’s fun to design your own unique piece that features your team’s colors.

Even though the brand rolled out new styles for their new gameday color options, you can still can go to the Color Bar to customize classic Kendra Scott styles, like the Rayne necklace and Danielle earrings.

These are a few of the other ways I styled my Kendra Scott gameday jewels for football season. You can find even more gameday outfits in my LSU GAMEDAY SHOPPING GUIDE and in my ULTIMATE GUIDE TO LSU GAMEDAY.

I have owned many of my Kendra Scott pieces for years and always get so much use out of them. They are the perfect way to accessorize your gameday look, and you can always wear them with any outfit for the other six days of the week!

— LSU GAMEDAY GUIDE: WHERE TO SHOP —

This was clearly going to be the biggest section of the guide, so I broke down how to shop for the best gameday items in multiple posts. Thankfully, local Baton Rouge boutiques stock up on purple and gold throughout the football season providing me with many places to shop.

Don’t worry if you are an out-of-town Tiger fan, because you can shop many of my favorite local brands online and/or through their social media pages.

I want to share my wealth of LSU shopping knowledge with you, so this is what you will find in my LSU Gameday Shopping Guide.

GAMEDAY OUTFITS

I am often asked where I buy certain items I wear on gameday, so I wanted to come up with a way to share items and outfits on here as I find them. Gameday outfits down here in the South are a thing. It’s not just a wear a t-shirt from the bookstore type of outfit. There is thought, color coordination, accessorizing and a lot of other factors that go into SEC ladies’ outfits on Saturday. It’s basically like a southern runway.

GAMEDAY YOUR WAY

Purple and gold are the geaux-to colors of choice around here, but some people might have a different preference. I have a whole section of my LSU Shopping Guide dedicated to styling gameday your way, meaning many of the items I buy to represent LSU can be purchased in multiple color combinations. Obvi, purple and gold is the best option.

— LSU GAMEDAY GUIDE: HOW TO GEAUX CLEAR —

This is an essential topic when it comes to getting ready for LSU Gameday. For the third season in a row, Tiger fans have to Geaux Clear when bringing bags into Tiger Stadium and other LSU Athletics events. I have seen way too many people walking back to their car on gameday because they didn’t bring an approved bag. Don’t worry, I have found all the cute + practical clear bags for you, including the options below!

SHOP THIS LSU GAMEDAY LOOK:

— MUST-SEE TIGER TRADITIONS —

VICTORY HILL | Two hours before each home game, the players and coaches walk down Victory Hill to the locker room. North Stadium Drive is crammed 20 people deep on each side of the street waiting to see the Tigers come down the hill. It is a long-standing tradition, so line up in enough time to get a good spot and high five the team!

MIKE THE TIGER | LSU is home to the only tiger mascot who lives on campus. Mike VII is in his second football season at LSU and was rescued from a habitat before making Baton Rouge his home. He’s only two years old, so he is often out playing or swimming in his pool. He spends a lot of time outside in his habitat on gamedays so all fans can enjoy and visit him!

TIGER ONE VILLAGE | Located in between the PMAC and Tiger Stadium, Tiger One Village is a one-stop shop for your pregame festivities. You can visit Mike the Tiger, shop at the SportShop, watch the team and band walk down Victory Hill and sometimes even catch a concert! Oh, and the food options are endless. Crawfish pies are my favorite!

TAILGATING | Sports Illustrated recently crowned LSU as “America’s Greatest Tailgate”. If you have ever participated in this legendary Tiger Tradition, then you know why LSU is much deserving of this honor. LSU typically has night games, so the festivities get started early in the morning and go all the way until kickoff. There’s delicious food, huge setups, cocktails and anything else you would imagine at the best party ever. Some people stay tailgating during the game and watch the Tigers play on TV.

TIGER STADIUM PREGAME | It’s a party in the stadium even before the game kicks off. From one hundred thousand people signing along to ‘Callin Baton Rouge to the Golden Band from Tigerland playing the famous first four notes of the Fight Song to the team running out of the tunnel before kickoff, you are guaranteed to get chills. There’s a reason we are constantly rated as one of the best game atmospheres in all of sports. Watch this video for a little taste of what to expect!

— LSA GAMEDAY GUIDE: WHERE TO WATCH THE TIGERS —

Obviously, the BEST place to watch the Tigers is in Tiger Stadium. But, whether it’s an away game or you need a place to pregame and/or celebrate a Tigers’ win, here are my favorite places in Baton Rouge to watch LSU games. Since I am at every game – home and away – I would love to hear your picks for where to watch the Tigers, so I can include them on this list!

WALK ON’S BISTREUAX AND BAR | Walk On’s was voted ESPN’s #1 Sports Bar in America in 2012, and this local original has only gotten better since then. Started in Baton Rouge, Walk On’s now has 21 locations across the Southeast (and more coming!) with the original one located right off of campus. They have tons of televisions in the bar and throughout the restaurant and a menu perfect for gamedays. There are also parties and concerts each home gameday at the location by campus on Burbank Drive.

SUPERIOR GRILL | Superior has one of my favorite cocktails in Baton Rouge, and has a fun gameday atmosphere. Both locations in Baton Rouge have televisions throughout the restaurant, drink deals and other specials on LSU gamedays.

THE OVERPASS MERCHANT | The Merchant is also home to one of my favorite local drinks – the Merchant Mule. They have a remodeled patio with outdoor televisions and drink and food specials on football gamedays.

THE VARSITY | Located at the North Gates of LSU, The Varsity is literally steps off of campus and has been around for years. The venue regularly hosts concerts and events, but they set up a huge screen and have food and drink specials for LSU Football games.

— LSU GAMEDAY GUIDE: LAGNIAPPE —

HOW TO BUY TICKETS | The best place to buy football tickets is LSUtix.net. Through this website, you can purchase individual game tickets and renew current season tickets. LSU is now also offering special packages that include certain game tickets to where you don’t have to pay for a full season. Find all the information you need to know about LSU Football tickets here.

WHERE TO PARK | Like most college football games, parking can sometimes be a pain in the butt. The earlier you arrive, the better chance you have at finding a parking spot. Use this map to find where the free parking is at!

WHEN TO ARRIVE | All gates in Tiger Stadium open 2 1/2 hours prior to kickoff, but like I mentioned above, the earlier you get on campus the better. There is so much to experience on LSU gameday, so if you only come in for one or a few games a year, take advantage of being on campus and in Tiger Stadium!

FOLLOW LSU GAME OPERATIONS ON TWITTER AND FACEBOOK FOR FULL UPDATES ON REAL TIME PARKING SITUATIONS, GAMEDAY CHANGES AND MORE!
