Who What Wear for Target

I love a good collaboration.  Target pretty much knocks it out of the park every time so it was not surprising when I saw the collection for them by Who What Wear.  Since they rarely have any collab in my local Target I went on a shopping spree online.  Some things worked and some didn't but it was all amazing.

Here's my first look from the Who What Wear collection for Target:

Shirt and Blazer: Who What Wear for Target
Pants: Old Navy
Shoes: who knows anymore
Jewelry: Stella and Dot and Kate Spade

Blog Evolution

Hey folks!

I've taken a bit of a break but I'm back with hopefully a new sense of blogging.  I know I've said that before and failed miserably, but stick with me!

So, tell me what you want to see on the blog?  Pics of my looks each day, trends I'm loving, links to things I love?

Meanwhile, here are some of my recent favorite looks!

Baby Love

A few weeks ago, I helped throw a shower for one of my work besties, Lauren of 912 ELM Tree.   We had a great time celebrating Lauren and Baby Joe!

I was in charge of the decorations and since we knew Lauren was having a boy, I went with a mustache theme. I found a great set of decorations from Etsy seller Busy Chickadees. She was great to work with and it was super easy to take the files to Office Depot to be printed. Only drawback was cutting out all those mustaches! 

I may have gone a smidge overboard, but it was so much fun! Here are some shots of the decorations and a group shot of the mama-to-be and all of the shower attendees!

No more pencils, no more books...

It's official! Summer break has begun! I think I was just as excited as the students this year! 

I promptly started summer vacay with lunch with two of my favorites from school and a trip to the gym! Tomorrow I get my hair done and hopefully a little shopping!

Look Who's Back, Back Again

Hey dear friends!

I've gotten several inquiries about when I am going to start blogging again. I feel like I keep making attempts to really get back into it, but have failed. I promise to make every effort to reup this blog. 

You all know about my surgery last year. I have really struggled to feel myself since then. I'm not back to my clothes and that's been really hard for me. I have been pretty down and have been waiting to get back to some semblance of normal. I'm realizing that this process is going to take a lot longer than I ever anticipated. In addition, I've found I have some food intolerances and that has been a major adjustment. 

I hope to bring you all a little bit of fashion  and a little bit of what's happening in my life, whether it is what I'm wearing, buying, decorating, eating, or doing. I hope you'll stick with me and thanks for reading!

100th Post!

 

 

 

Happy 100th post to me!  I can't believe my year anniversary of the blog and 100th post fell so close together.  Thanks for everyone that has stuck with me over the past year and hundred posts! I was recently, ok not so recently but I finally got around to doing this, given the Liebster award so I chose to use my 100th post to get this going...

 

 

 

 

Thanks to A Matchy Matchy Midlife, for nominating me for the Liebster award!  For those of you who don't know, the Liebster Award is designed for bloggers with a small number of followers to gain some attention and to share some blog love with other bloggers!  There is no competition, but I get a fab button and to answer some questions and then pass it on.  Here goes...


1.) What did you want to be when you grew up and how/why/did that vision change when you did? I'm pretty sure I went from astronaut, to pediatrition, to physical therapist, to teacher, to librarian, to....I'm still not sure what I want to do when I grow up!!
2.) If you could only follow one blog (not your own) which would it be and why? It doesn't have to be a fashion blog, fyi.  Wow...that is a toughie.  Probably Kendi Everyday because I love her fashion sense and humor.
3.) What is the most expensive thing you ever bought as an indulgence for yourself, and what is the story behind it? This is so sad, but the most expensive thing I've purchased for myself is my Coach purse.  And it was from the outlet store.  No real story behind it other than I wanted one and my friend and I went crazy in the store... I think my friend bought two or three bags that day!
4.) Which word or phrase do you most overuse?  Really? Actually, I'm not sure what I overuse....
5.) How do you relax? Watching TV, reading, or walking around a store.  Something about shopping makes me so happy.  I feel like that's a pretty strange answer, but true.  The mall is my happy place!!
6.) What single thing would improve the quality of your life (and don't say money)? A personal trainer.  I'd love to be in awesome shape but need someone to kick my butt!
7.) What do you consider your greatest achievement (and children do not count here if you have them)? Beware, this is going to be super schmaltzy, but probably a couple of my former students.  One of my little darlings that I had in 4th grade is now a junior in high school.  She still visits with me and I'm very proud of how awesome she is. 
8.) What is your biggest regret? I don't know how much I regret this because I wouldn't have made some of the best friends ever, but I ALMOST took a job in Texas right after graduation but wimped out at the last minute.  Sometimes I wonder how my life would have turned out if I went.
9.) Tell me something people would be surprised to know about you. I have no clue.  I'm double jointed?  I love any movie that has singing and dancing, even if it is terrible? I am scared to death of Kevin Bacon?  Take your pick.
10.) Does your blog accurately reflect all of you, a part of you, or is your blog persona completely different from the "real" you? Details please.  I try so hard to make this blog the real me.  I may gloss over some details, but for the most part what you read is what you get. 
11.) The Book or The Movie? Book.  Would a librarian say anything different?!

Next I have to tell you 11 things about myself (is there anything that people don't know about me?)

1. I originally went to college to become a physical therapist but changed schools and majors my sophmore year.

2. My favorite animal is a gorilla thanks to Mrs. Cromwell's animal project in 2nd grade.

3. I've been friends with one of my best friends since we were in Kindergarten. (27 years now...EEP!)

4. I have an unhealthy love for teen shows...especially ABC Family shows- Switched at Birth, Lying Game, Bunheads...

5. I love vintage inspired clothes.

6.  While I enjoy putting together clothes, I suck at decorating my house.  Thank goodness I have Joi to help me out!

7.  My favorite singers include James Morrison, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, and Gavin DeGraw. But I also love Elton John and Billy Joel as well as the oldies and pop music.

8. I can't remember dates and other important history events, but I can quote movies and tv shows like no one's business!

9.  If it were possible, I'd probably live on bread, potatoes, and cake.

10.  My bucket list includes a trip to Africa.

11. My secret (okay, not so secret) dream is to be Kathleen Kelly from You've Got Mail.
