Midterm Madness

Another thing I love about fall (you just know October is going to be “I Love Fall” month over here)? Cute fall jackets. Like this little number that I picked up at Winners (it’s like TJ Maxx) on my trip to Edmonton last fall. Love it, love fall.




What I don’t like about fall is midterms – my students wrote one recently and I am up to my eyeballs in grading … teaching about ancient Greece is pretty fun, grading exams is not.

I also am bowled over by Aymeline Valade in Harper’s Bazaar Spain’s "Gucci Through the Years" shot by Txema Yeste and styled by Juan Cebrian. Wowza.

I am loving the way you styled your hair here and am glad for some cooler weather so I can wear some of my fall jackets.

Hope you work through the stack of midterms quickly!

We dislike writing them as much as you dislike grading them I'm sure :)
I love this jacket, what a great find, so perfect for fall. I have a serious jacket addiction, I'm pretty sure I own at least 10

The jacket looks like an amazing find! Super versatile! Sometimes TJ Maxx has the best things, I gotta go in there more often! (Unfortunately, we don't have Winners in the U.S.)

I love cute fall jackets too, I've seen so many that I want and can't afford. I love the pale blue color of this jacket.

Good luck on grading, I can imagine it must be a daunting task.

Love your jacket, very pretty, also your hair looks gorgeous. I totally love it.
That gold Gucci dress is amazing, of course for a tall girl.
Well, I love Gucci, they always have collections that satisfy the taste of a diverse group of women, not only the tall skinny type and always so so glamorous!
Have a happy Friday.
