Show Me Your Tailgate: UT Edition
It's a Friday in September and that means it's time for some football! With a big University of Texas game coming up, all the buzz in the office seems to be about what burnt orange and white outfit is going to make an appearance on Bevo Boulevard. But the fun doesn't stop there; as any southern lady knows, a football weekend goes far beyond what one wears. Queue the linen tablecloths, punchbowls, custom cocktail napkins and nut bowls!
At the Flagship, we put together a sampling of how we like to show our team spirit come gameday! Hazen & Co. has the necessary jewelry and accessories to complete any gameday outfit, but when it comes to all the other details, we looped in some of our favorite brands to curate festive bar carts that are tailgate ready.
Catch sneak peeks of our gameday collection and how we tailgate below. Check out our Instagram highlights for even more!

Honey + Hank napkins were the perfect festive touch! If you haven't heard of Honey + Hank, be sure to check it out! This Dallas brand creates precious and beautifully-made textiles that feature graphics made of states! That cowboy boot design you see is actually little states of Texas! We're obsessed!
An Amanda Lindroth vase and tray provided the perfect pop of organic sophistication for this bar cart. Taylor used small copper bowls for nuts, blocks of cheese and crackers. Jan Barboglio's steer decanter served as the centerpiece with it's coordinating highball glasses.
Last but not least, Bevo made an appearance on nothing other than Texas' famed Pecan Pie (Side Note: Out of time to order your pie from Goode Co. in Houston? No worries, Central Market has them ready to go!)! BUT, y'all, we aren't talking about any Bevo, but a Herend Bevo. It might have been my favorite little detail! Welcome to Longhorn Nation, y'all! Get your horns up!
