Updates from Russia

Just a quick update from Russia.

The season is going well….we lost one game in the first half of the season… (womp womp) …but we’ve just started the second half and are 2-0! We are remaining focused and playing solid basketball, but its going to get intense in about a month when playoffs start.

Here is what I have to look forward to! There are a total of 3 titles that we must win:

The 1st is the Russian Cup which is a two day tournament in Russia with the top four teams in our league going head to head.

2nd is the Euroleague where the top teams in Europe square off in the playoff series and then later in the final four.

3rd and last, is the Russian League.  I’m already sweating just talking about it!

The good news is that we’ll have some added power with Candace Parker coming in to the team. Her ability and talent will add much more depth to our already strong roster as we defend last year’s championship tittle.

Translation: I’m Excited!

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year and see you on the court!

xoxo,
Cappie

EUROPEAN GLITZ …
Author: Administrator

Hey guys,
Welcome to another edition of B-Girl Blog.  This entry is designed to give you a peak at the cutting edge fashions i’ve come across while here in Europe playing for Russian basketball powerhouse, UMMC Ekaterinburg.  As most of you know, I have a serious knack and love for Fashion, so even though i do what i do on the court (and i does it well…) A Girl always makes time to accessorize!
Now on to the goodies!!!  Below, I’ve assembled some great looks for this season that will most certainly make a wave… Well at least in my closet….

these shoes are absolutely to die for… Designed by Alexander McQueen… I’m not big on rocking crazy heels in the winter but you definitely need a statement shoe for fall and this would be my 1st choice.
A leather jacket is a must have for the fall/winter. This is definitely great for layering, a fabulous choice for this season, designed by: Bailman.
As previously mentioned, I’m not too big on heels this season but a killer “flat” boot will go along way for you and your tutsies this season. Designed by: Lobu
During the Fall/Winter, I’m a big fan of the oversized Cardigan. This particular grey is a perfect color for the season.
Let me go on the record and state that I am a big fan of Marc Jacobs pieces; and this particular one is my season favorite. Again with the oversized Cardigan, however pay attention to the colorway and how playful this piece is, which I love when I’m wearing a solid color (i.e. Black). Designed by: Marc Jacob.
Faux fur is a must have piece. Period… It can be taken in so many directions. Whether you decide to layer it, dress it up or down… Its trendy any way you spin it
No Pressure! But the military look this season is an absolute must!
Designed by: Freecity and by far one of my favorite military jackets in the market.
And our last piece in this entry has to be my favorite go to pants since the trend of harem has arrived in the fashion world. It’s comfy an has so much range to play in these days.
Remember, fashion is an expression of who you are… Never let a trend make or break you!
Yours Truly…
