Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks

"Take me out to the ball game, take me out to the crowd"

There is nothing more symbolic of summer than a warm summer afternoon at a baseball game.  For some, the perfect summer day includes a day at the beach or on a sailboat, a round of golf, or a tennis match...For me, it is sitting behind home plate with some Cracker Jacks and a lemonade watching America's Pastime.  The pinstripe uniforms, the smell of the grass, the 30,000+ people enjoying the same game our great grandparents enjoyed a century ago! 

For many, the biggest dilemma is deciding what to wear.  You don't want to be too dressy or too casual.  It has to be something that is comfortable for walking and sitting for three hours but chic at the same time.  Below are a few suggestions of proven to be comfortable, baseball appropriate outfits!

Monogram Monday!


I will always remember my first Louis Vuitton. It was a mini Speedy passed on to me from my mother at the ripe age of five. From that day on, I have always loved that monogram print...until a few years ago. Trying to maintain some sense of individuality, I retired my Vuitton bags. Over the past couple years, it seems like every other person in America carries a Louis. Some are authentic, some are knock-offs but either way, everywhere from Rodeo Drive to Madison Avenue is littered with the LV print.

In an attempt to keep up with competitor Goyard's personalized service, Louis Vuitton has introduced customized painting to their repertoire. For an extra fee, one can get their initials, crest, or other symbol hand painted on their Louis Vuitton. It may seem frivolous, but it will add a personal, preppy flair to the old LV sitting in your closet. Check it out at www.louisvuitton.com
