This last month - month & a half has been a roller coaster.

 I'm a teacher, and at our school every Friday we can wear jeans as long as we show our school pride. This means 1/5 of my work week wardrobe needs to be purple and gold. Although I love a good t-shirt, I don't like looking frumpy. Below are five suggestions on how to display school colors while still feeling somewhat fashionable.

The lovely folks over at Influenster sent me the J'Adore Vox Box with some great goodies to try out for free!

If we were to have a coffee date, I'd drink a Frappuccino or some other blended beverage even if it's freezing out, because Pumpkin Spice Lattes are out of season.

If we were to have a coffee date, I'd tell you that I am ecstatic about my trip to NYC in a couple weeks. I'm going with my mother-in-law, sisters-in-law, and Russ's aunt. I adore flying and wish I got to do it more often. I'm excited to go on a flight by myself. I think this will be my first without the hubby or a friend along. I've never been to NYC. We're going to see Wicked, the musical, which I've never seen. We're staying at a ritzy hotel, possibly hitting up the Today show, it's going to be a blast.
