11.27.10 - Clemson vs. USC gameday photos

Well, I'll be honest...I wasn't too disappointed after Saturday's loss because I went into the game knowing we were probably the underdog in this match up. But when Clemson scored on the first drive, my hopes got up - I envisioned us pulling out a win and upsetting USC.

And then....we didn't score the rest of the game, while USC continued to. Sigh. Final Score: Clemson 7, USC 29. We stayed until the end though and watched Tajh Boyd play the fourth quarter - it was great to see him in the game getting some good experience.

Despite the loss, it was still a fun day of tailgating with friends and family in the cool weather.

I can't believe football season is already over - did it fly by this year for anyone else?

Next up is a bowl game - not sure where yet, but I keep hearing Charlotte.

We were able to capture some photos during the game, and one of our readers, Kathy Smoley, took photos for us during the game and around campus. She did an amazing job and took some great photos! Thank you so much Kathy!

You can view all of our photos on our Flickr site. If you have any gameday from yesterday's game that you would like to share, please email them to us (clemsongirlblog@gmail.com)!

TGIF - What's new with our sponsors

Happy Friday ladies!! Did you know that 8 YEARS is the average amount of time a woman spends shopping in her lifetime (source: Real Simple)?? I don't see anything wrong with that...do you?? :)

In the spirit of shopping, we wanted to share the latest and greatest from our lovely sponsors - these are a few of our favorite things! If you have some down time this weekend, pay them a visit (online or in person) and tell them Clemson Girl sent you!

blake & brady - We love this one-shouldered dress from Anderson boutique blake & brady that has just a splash of Clemson orange. If you like it, you better hurry over to their Facebook page and make an order - their stuff sells out fast! They also sell the perfect Fall knee high boots in all shades - perfect with dresses or over jeans... but these too sell out fast, so make sure you follow blake & brady on Facebook to be the first to know when new shipments arrive.

Razzberry Fizz - Don't you love the way this Clemson boutique's name just rolls off of your toungue...lol. :) If you're an early bird and you've started your Christmas shopping, you need to pay Razzberry Fizz a visit on Facebook - they are constantly posting new Christmas stuff! However, we are partial to this stadium seat warmer - pop it in the microwave to heat it up, and it stays warm for up to six hours!

Fort Hill Family Dentistry - If you live in the upstate and you're looking for a family-oriented dentist, then please pay a visit to Fort Hill Family Dentistry in Clemson. They are some of the nicest people we've met. They are offering a free teeth whitening on your first visit! Now that's something to smile about...

Game Day Divas - These fashion forward ladies are always posting new Clemson jewelry, handbags and apparel. They are currently having a big pre-Thanksgiving sale - use coupon code TURKEY at checkout to get 25% off! We really like this off-the-shoulder purple sweater with the cute button detail down the side. This would be perfect for the Clemson vs. USC home game paired with skinny jeans and boots, and we love the Game Day Divas Tiger Paw rhinestone brooch pinned at the top!

McAuley's Unique Boutique - Infinity scarves are very 'in' this year and an orange scarf like this one from McAuley's Unique Boutique is perfect for accessorizing your gameday outfits. It looks good on a plain white t-shirt or a purple sweater dress - the options are endless. Also, if your schedule is starting to book up with holiday parties, you can find the perfect party dress for the occasion with McAuley's Unique Boutique's amazing dress selection.

Two Sisters Boutique - We love that this amazing boutique is now conveniently located in Clemson! I hope you follow them on Facebook so you can constantly stay in the loop on all of their new shipments of orange and purple apparel. Check out this adorable, purple ruffled one-shoulder dress from Two Sisters Boutique - paired perfectly with a brown belt.

Jacob Dean Photography - One thing I love about the holidays is all of the different Christmas cards I get in the mail - and my favorites are always the ones with adorable photos of kids. Do you take family portraits for your Christmas cards? If you live in the upstate, you need to check out Jacob Dean Photography - their work is Awww-mazing. :) I could spend my entire Friday afternoon clicking through all of the beautiful photos on their site...

A few of our favorites off of their site...

Tickled Orange - We can hardly believe it's almost December and just about time to start putting up those Christmas decorations. If you're dreaming of a Clemson Christmas, then you need to visit Tickled Orange on Facebook and take a look at all of their very-Clemson Christmas items - including a variety of handmade Clemson ornaments, perfect for your Clemson tree!

Lollipop Totz - Of course we can't leave out the little Clemson fans in your life...they need a very Clemson Christmas too. Check out Lollipop Totz's website where you can easily shop for your favorite little Tigers. This monogrammed Clemson paci clip is too cute for words and would make a perfect gift for a Clemson mom-to-be.

The Beaded Tiger - You can never go wrong with Clemson jewelry as Christmas gifts for your Clemson friends, and The Beaded Tiger is constantly posting new and unique Clemson jewelry to their Facebook page. I might actually be asking for my Christmas gift early so I can get one of these cute Clemson watches to wear to the Clemson vs. USC game. The Beaded Tiger also hosts private jewelry-making parties - if you're planning on a holiday party with your girlfriends this year, why not have a Christmas jewelry-making party! Love that idea!


Well... we may have just killed your productivity for a Friday afternoon {oops} - but let's be honest, what's more fun for a Friday afternoon than 'window shopping' online!?! All of our sponsors take orders over the phone and on their Facebook pages - so if you don't live in the upstate, don't hesitate to contact any of them if you see something you must have. Happy shopping and Go Tigers!!
