A little bit of everything for this week! Read More

Ross Event + Giveaway
Last week I attended the grand opening of Ross Dress For Less on Randolph with my blogger buddies. The evening began at The Wit with amazing views of the city and delicious food. Then we headed over to Ross on Randolph and had first looks at the new location.
It was such a fun evening and I had a lot of fun hunting for the perfect finds. I picked up this distressed Puma sweatshirt and these fun Guess leopard/sparkly slip on sneakers each for $24.99. Can you believe those deals?! Every week they get new shipments, so I can’t to see what I find next time I go!
To celebrate their new location Ross and I have teamed up for a giveaway (enter below). One lucky winner will win a $25 gift card. Good luck and happy shopping!

Runway Story
Today begins a new runway story as today ends my summer break and a new school year begins. My students don’t come until Tuesday, but the next few days I’ll be prepping for this academic year.
It’s a bit bittersweet starting work again because although I love a new agenda book and sharp #2 pencils, I definitely will miss summer. It’ll be nice to be on a schedule again, but that just means that weekends and breaks will be more treasured than usual. I definitely will be busy this year with teaching 6, 7 and 8th grade reading, coaching two sports and being a young author’s coordinator.
I’m not looking forward to the 5 a.m. wakeup calls and my hour plus commute, but it’s definitely worth it when I see smiles on my students’ faces.
