*Welcome to Bento Box Saturday. Every once and awhile, I post photos of one or more of my bento lunches from that week. I use a Laptop Lunches bento box and I love it because it helps me to reduce t...
Inspired by my new ultra cropped red cardigan, I decided to put together an outfit that was part flamenco dancer, part librarian chic, and all fun. The outfit (minus the flower) came together in the...
I went to the wedding of two good friends a few weeks ago, and decided to wear both something old and something new. The old came in vintage accessories: a vintage purse (80′s, I believe), vin...
My birthday is next month, and I know that one of the things I want is a new pair of shoes. I want a nice low heel and a closed toe; something that would be good for work. Something that looks good...
No, unfortunately this post is not written from NYC. Nor do I have any plans in the immediate future to go there (although if the chance came up, believe me I would go!). But, I am wearing a...
I’ve had this cardigan for a long time, but it never occurred to me until this week that it could work great tied up as well as loose. I like how the layering allowed the sleeve cuffs o...
There’s lots of different elements that influence my style. Lately one of my favorite inspirations has been 60′s English and French styles. I feel like the above outfit has a little bit...
Every year in Florida, we never really have a “true” winter. Instead, we get sporadic days of weather below 50 degrees, after which the temperature will go back up to the 70s. Seriously...
Like last year’s 11 in 2011, I have created a new set of 12 in 2012 goals for this year. (Note: the following two paragraphs are adapted from last year’s 12 in 2012 post) As happens at th...
Last week, it finally started getting cold again. Bear in mind that “cold” in Florida means below 60 degrees. Thus I was finally able to wear my boots again! I wore this for a day of r...
January: Lots of bento boxes. The beginning of 11 in 2011. Growing out my hair. February Busyness. First year teacher woes. Birthday. March Thrifting. Awesome cooking. April Bento special editio...
As the year comes to a close, I’m taking some time to reflect on my 11 in 2011 goals and how I did. Work 1: Finish my teaching certificate: PROGRESS At the time I set this goal, I thought tha...
*On occasion, I take a look at some of the beautiful items found at one of the best places for buying and selling hand-made and vintage: Etsy. Buying hand-made and vintage lets you own beautiful, un...
Top: Ann Taylor LOFT (thrifted) Skirt: Forver 21 (via Revolve) Sandals: Dansko Neve (via eBay) Necklace: Express Bangle: Vintage I had a pretty awesome Christmas this year. Lots and lots of f...
No matter what you celebrate, I hope your day is wonderful and full of joy! Merry Christmas everyone!
The last week before Christmas break, I challenged myself to wear red and green everyday without being tacky. I was also battling a cold that had me slipping into pj’s and going to bed ...
I’ve never been a big fan of full-on monochromatic looks, so this is about as close as I get. This beautiful blue dress is one of my newest Boden pieces, snagged on eBay for a mere $50! (Boden...
Okay, so I did in fact wear a very similar outfit last September. But hey, that was a year ago, and I have long hair and glasses now, so I think it’s just fine for me to post this versi...
Originally, this outfit got started as a way to mix black and cream. It soon turned into a colorful outfit with black accents instead. To me, black accents always make outfits look classier. Thi...
My closet, Nov 2011 (this is why I have a limited wardrobe) To help me focus in my shopping once again, I’ve re-created and updated my Wardrobe Gaps list. Some of these are repeats from my 201...
As I’m getting out of my style rut, I’m looking around the blogosphere for inspiration. I went back this week to one of my old favorites, Fab Finds Under $50′s Inspiration calendar...
The last time I did a Wardrobe Inventory was back in 2009. Back then, I was only working part time, and still struggling to figure out exactly what I liked. I was beginning to experiment a lot. So...
Over this past year, I’ve grown into a bit of a style rut. I’ve been focusing very heavily on my job (which I love!), paying off my debt (which I don’t love) and generally trying t...
Currently have 0% post title inspiration, but I wanted to post anyhow, so here’s one of my outfits from last week. This is pretty typical work fair for me: dress slacks, Dansko Sally’s, ...
Remember back in school, when you would have Spirit Week and each day would have a different theme, like Sports Day, Twin Day, etc? One fun thing about working in a middle school is that you get to ...
This is a series of posts about librarianship and what I do, and why I love my job so much. Hopefully, you’ll find this interesting and entertaining I love talking about my job. For the first post...
I got a great e-mail from a reader and an aspiring library science student wanting to know more about my profession. This got me thinking – my blog is a place where I share what&...
Today was the first day that it really felt like Fall here in Florida. I know that we’ll have many more 80+ degree days before it really cools down, but this weekend, I was just relishing in t...
