Well hello everyone! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve
shared about my recent travels in Ruston, so let me jump right in. If I had to
pick the two things I look forward to doing most on the weekends, it would be
shopping (sorry bank account) and watching football games. Thankfully, Ruston
provides me with plenty of opportunities to get my fashion and football fill.

| Cheering on the Bulldogs at the LA Tech vs. FIU game |
Ruston, La. is Bulldog Country, and that means we count down the days to LA
Tech football games. Having graduated from LSU, I was sure that I already had
the most fun college game days I would ever experience. Guess what, I was
wrong.
I’ve been to two home football games so far and I’ve had a
blast at both! From tailgating with friends to jumping up and down in the
stands as the Bulldogs make yet another beautiful touchdown, I’ve found that LA
Tech game days are full of excitement.
Starting game day by tailgating in a sea of Bulldog fans is quite the
experience. There are tons of people out tailgating hours before the game, yet
the atmosphere remains welcoming and laid-back. Everyone is super hospitable
and friendly, so don’t miss out on stopping by a tailgate or two. If you
haven’t been to a LA Tech football game, then you’re seriously missing out and
should get yourself a ticket to one of the three remaining home games.

| Display at Ruston Florist and Boutique |
I did that thing where I judged a book by its cover; I know, not cool. But
I assumed when I heard the name “Ruston Florist” that it was strictly a flower
shop and I would probably never need to go there. Yet again, I was mistaken.
Ruston Florist does create incredible flower arrangements, but it’s also a
gorgeous boutique that carries some amazing designers and products. You’ll find
clothing, jewelry, accessories, home décor, candles and more in this charming
little boutique. They
even do Fashion Show Luncheons twice a month that are a great way to mingle and
see upcoming trends and styles.
I got the chance to go to one of their Fashion Show
Luncheons and it was such a cute and fun event! I loved that they showed
different looks for all ages and occasions, and the food was 100% homemade and
absolutely delicious. I definitely plan on going again and making a girls day
out of it!
Ruston
Fashion Week
Ruston Fashion Week was all the buzz in North Louisiana last week. With 25 local businesses participating, it was a busy seven days full of fun events hosted at local shops. I was seriously impressed by the creativity displayed in the weeks’ events and by the turnout from the public.

I attended the event that was put on by The Fashion of Ruston called “A Stylish Affair.” It included a full-force fashion show as well as a cocktail reception with amazing food and drinks. Y’all, I was blown away. I could not believe how cool this event was. The atmosphere was upbeat and fun, the runway looked incredible, the models were on point; I could go on and on. Basically, everything was flawless. If you missed the events of Ruston Fashion Week this year, then you seriously missed out. I can’t wait to see how this week of fashion events evolves and grows in the future!
