Teacher Talk- Dressin' to the 9's (most days...)

Today I am linking up with Nicole and Jamie to talk about one of my favorite things... teaching clothes! I love shopping and picking out outfits... looking nice when I go to work just puts me in a better mood. Not to toot my own horn, but I received the "best dressed" superlative from the students last year! :) But then there are days that I push snooze a few dozen times, throw on some pants and a cardigan and hope for the best!

So here a few outfits that I remembered to take pictures of...

Dress- Target, Necklace- J. Crew

Sweater- J Crew, Necklace- Groopdealz

Dress- Target, Necklace- JCrew

Shirt- JCrew, Necklace- Charming Charlies

And then I have my everyday watch/bracelet combo

Michael Kors watch, Blessings bracelet

Monogram ring- etsy, Bracelet- JCrew

Can you tell that I love statement necklaces? I plan a lot of my outfits around them. 

Thats all for tonight, loves! 

Retail Therapy

Hey loves! I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I've been under the weather this weekend and my husband has been out of town for a week, so needless to say I've been a bit gloomy :( The solution? Shopping!

 

This little beaut is a Phillip Lim from Target. Its big enough to fit my iPad and planner on those days that I don't need to bring my laptop home. Also a great fall and winter purse!

 

These awesome tumblers. It wont be long until they have a monogram!

 

 

Speaking of monograms... check out my store on Etsy! (Shameless plug!)

 

And I couldn't pass up these cute straws!

 

My shopping trip didn't last very long... I was pooped after just about an hour of shopping, thanks to my cold. Tomorrow my mission is to get a new hair curling wand that is bigger than my current one.

Later gators :)

Fall Makes Me Think Of....

1. Reading a good book on the porch. Speaking of which, I need a new book to read. Any suggestions???

2. The next season of Homeland... one of my faves!

3. These Tory Burch boots... but ouch that price tag hurts!

I love summer... but when the weather starts to turn chilly I get so excited for all the great things fall brings!

Weekend Ramblings

It's a beautiful weekend here in the STL! I've been a bad blogger lately since work (school) has started back up... but my life hasn't been terribly exciting lately either :) This weekend is pretty low key with school work, house work, and the Cardinals game on Sunday. My bestie Jess & her bf Logan are meeting us downtown for it... I can't wait! She lives in Columbia, so I don't get to see her too much.

                                              Jess and me on my wedding day!

Working in a high school 'clues me in' to things that I would be otherwise unaware of. The most recent hot topic in my class right now is the undeniable demise of Miss Miley Cyrus. I saw the VMAs and her unfortunate dancing... but her newest video for "Wrecking Ball" tops that. Yikes. Its one of those things that you can't unsee.... watch if you dare!

Well, its back to grading tests for me. Hope y'all are having a nice weekend!

Another one in the books!

Another summer that is! I spent this past weekend at the lake with my husband and his family. It was a great way to end an amazing summer!

As sad as I am that the summer is ending... I really love fall :) I can't wait for sweater weather and to get my first pumpkin spiced latte of the season! 

After we got home I went grocery shopping, did some laundry and made my lunch for tomorrow.. feeling productive and ready to take on this short week!

Hope you had a lovely holiday weekend!
