Hurricane Irene hit over the weekend – by the time it reached New Haven it had been downgraded to a tropical storm but it was still pretty crazy. Damage was minimal (thankfully) but a few stately old trees were uprooted, including a lovely one on the grounds of building that, unfortunately, toppled over onto someone’s car. Yikes. I had some friends over for wine, sangria, and poker and then stayed up until 5 am so that I would have a chance to see a bit of the storm (it hit between 4 am and 11 am). I even threw on my rubber boots and a rain jacket and went outside for 20 minutes to really hear the roaring wind and feel the lashing rain. I know it sounds a little nuts but I just couldn’t restrain myself. I hope everyone else weathered the storm well and emerged unscathed. And now, onwards and upwards!
I am so ready for fall fashion people! So, so ready. The Missoni for Target look book is feeding my fall-fueled dreams of the fashion trends to come this season.
Classes start up here soon (in 2 days actually, yikes) and I’m already planning my wardrobe for teaching Ancient Greek history, and it will definitely include this sequin t-shirt and a whole mess of blazers. Is anyone else as excited as me for the onset of fall?

That is nature, I thought we were getting but it headed your way instead..... I am glad the damage was not much and hope to be done with this season soon.
I am not a fan of winter but it has been so hot that this time I am really looking forward to it.
I can't wait to see your outfit posts, I remember you shopped specially for this time. Exciting.

Seriously, how has 'Rock you like a Hurricane' not been used? That is one of my favorite songs of all time.
My boyfriend and I also stood on our deck during the storm, granted, we waited awhile and it was just some wind and rain.
Love the outfit, those pants are super flattering, your legs look great.

I LOVE the Missoni x Target capusle collection...though I doubt they'll have it in Buffalo!
Classes start in a week for me. I've been off for so long that I'll probably forget how to write an essay! Best of luck with the teaching gig!
Glad you're ok after the storm! I'm always excited for fall, we just don't get it in AL lol.
Yes and yes.ive been eyeing the sequin shirts/tanks from Old Navy, since I can't afford the JCrew ones! Love a sparkly fall.
I'm really excited for that Target collection and for fall. I just wish there was a way to skip over winter.

Even though it is back to the stressful, anxiety-laden semester, I am super happy to be back in the swing of things. I was getting bored.
I'm so glad to hear that everything is okay between you and Irene. She really was a bitch.

So glad you were safe from the storm. Love your post title... very clever! xo
Glad you were safe from Irene! And I'm with you....bring on the fallll!!!
Glad to hear you survived the storm- even in Ottawa the winds were wild! I must admit to finding storms romantic (when they're not too dangerous of course!) LOVE the sequin top- you are one smokin' Ancient Greek prof!
Glad to hear you weathered the storm! I can't believe you went outside for 20 minutes! Love your sequined top and your hair : )
