Red Floral Pencil Skirt

I may be out for summer break but I've still got a large backstock of teacher outfit pics for you all. Here we have some of my favorite red pieces that I wore for our end of the year award assembly! You know me, a pencil skirt and bright colors are what I'm all about. This top is an old favorite that I had tailored to be less flowy and more form fitting. This pencil skirt was a great sale find from the winter Zara sale. I'm pretty sure right around $30! Not bad, eh? And for all those loyal Zara fans out there, the summer sale is ON now! There are always great deals to be found when they have a sale. Happy summer shopping all!

Anthropologie Peplum Top

First of all, I just wanted to thank everyone who came out to LOFT last night! I had so much fun and loved seeing each and every one of you! Hope you all had as much fun as I did.

I found this scalloped peplum top in the Anthropologie fresh cuts section and couldn't wait to wear it, so that's just what I did that very weekend. For the early part of the day this outfit was fine for the outdoor party we attended, but as the night went on it got so chilly that I had to throw on my Lulu hoodie that I keep in my car. Very chic, I know.

Btw, don't mind the bit of bra showing through the peep hole on the back. I'm just going to pretend I meant for it to show.

And finally a teacher rant. Can I just say how nice it is to only carry a purse (now on sale for only $34) instead of a massive tote with my life jammed in it. During the school year I have no choice but to carry a giant bag but with summer break it's small bag and wristlet central around here! I'm loving the lack of back pain and not looking like a bag lady!

Loft Summer Separates

Forgive me for the lack of blogging lately. I've been enjoying New York and Summer break which for a break has involved alot of early morning wake-ups. That's ok, all of them were totally worth it so there will be no complaining.

As some of you may know, tonight is my "Celebrate Summer in Style" event at LOFT on Michigan Avenue and I'm so excited! I figured today was the most fitting to show off this LOFT outfit that I knew I wanted the second I passed it in the window display. It looked like a romper to me, and we all know how I feel about rompers, but it's actually separates! So not only are these pieces great together, but they can be used to make endless outfit independently. And the best part is that BOTH pieces are 40% off the sale price right now!

Hope to see you all tonight! It's not too late to RSVP! Check below for details.

You're Invited! Hot Pink Style LOFT Fashion Bash on Michigan Avenue

A you may have noticed from many of my recent posts, LOFT and I are in the midst of a serious love affair, especially when it comes to their adorable rompers and the Lou and Grey lounge collection. And now that school is officially out for the summer (as of today, eek!) I am all about celebrating it in style!

Next Monday I will be co-hosting a fashion bash along with the fabulous personal stylist team at LOFT Michigan Avenue! It will be full of fun, food and of course shopping! 

So come celebrate the start of summer with me while we shop, chat and enjoy a pretty sweet discount too! Who doesn't love that?

See you there!

Braid Hawk from Gold Plaited

I few weeks back I was invited to Gold Plaited for a braiding event. I gave this gal free reign to do her thang and this complex and super-cool braid hawk is what I came out with. Pretty badass for a school teacher, huh? I even wore it the next day on a field trip to the Shedd Aquarium earning me some mild street cred with my middle schoolers! NOT easy to do!
