Back to Black
Happy Weekend! On this Friday morning I'd like to share my love for ILY Couture. You may already know how much I adore this brand from here, here and here, but since they launched their clothing line, I can't help but love them even more. This season I was in the market for a new black coat. Yea, maybe a little boring, but I was looking to replace my old black coat. When I saw ILY Couture had peacoats, I knew that I had to get my hands on one. Luckily, I was able to snag it on sale...score! {still on sale!} I love the fit and the awesome collar makes you feel super swanky... and who doesn't like feeling swanky? I hope you enjoy your weekend!xo-ashley

Take me back…
On this much needed 3 day weekend, I have enjoyed relaxing, family time and being able to search through all of our pictures from the summer. Oh how I love summer! I came across a few from our trip to California that got lost in the shuffle and I wanted to share. enjoy!

10 Chic Office Accessories
It's no secret I love shopping for office and desk accessories. Perhaps it was the 6 years I spent in the classroom that sparked the love affair, but I think it stems all the way back to my childhood. My mom was a teacher for 15 years and each year I would go with her to "work" in her classroom. You know, play teacher, pretend to "grade papers", play hide-and-seek, the usual. She always had the best office supplies and desk accessories! Fast forward 20 years and I still get excited to walk through the office supplies isle. Surly I'm not alone in this! ...
Papers in the Park
In my book, weekends are meant for two things: brunch and sleeping in. But now that school is back in session, I have a few more responsibilities. My weekends now mostly consist of getting my grocery shopping done, preparing for blog content, catching up on emails, and grading papers. While grading papers isn't always at the top of my list, (I know my teacher friends totally agree!) I do enjoy grading in an enjoyable environment. Since the weather is getting nice, I plan to spend my weekends outdoors as much as possible.
For my third look with Nine West, Fall was on the brain. During Fall, I love to wear oversized sweaters, skinny jeans and short boots like the Jareth Booties from Nine West. This is one look that will be on heavy rotation this Fall!

Coffee Run
Happy Monday! Last week, I shared my Back to School looks with Nine West. And this week, I'm continuing the theme by sharing what goes on before I actually step in the classroom.
The first order of business is figuring out what to wear in the mornings. I wish I could always be organized and have it picked out the night before, but you know how that goes! For work, I like to keep it casual, yet professional. These black pants, classic white blouse and peep toe booties from Nine West are one of my favorite combos for Fall. I love a little heel and this is one that I can definitely sport while on my feet. They're so comfortable!
I like to arrive at school early to prep for the day. But before I can do any of that, I make a most essential coffee run. I usually grab an iced coffee to go, and head to school. I love sipping my coffee and making any last minute adjustments to my lessons or activities.
A stylish, but comfortable outfit and a highly caffeinated beverage make for a great start to the day!

1st Grade Classroom Sneak Peek
I've learned something about myself in the 5 years I've been teaching. It is that, no matter how many times I get ready for the first day of school... I'm always nervous. I hate to admit it, but it's true. Butterflies in my stomach, can't sleep the night before- flat out nervous! ...
