summer loving

The regular school year is over for me and summer school starts on Tuesday. I am always excited to do something different than what I do during the regular year! I wanted to share some of these pretties I have been eying lately.

Michael Kors Watch (pic courtesy of Joy B :-))
I loveee this blazer, but unless the price comes down I might have to settle for the shirt. What would you do, splurge or settle for less?

how do you polo?

I am a big fan of the polo. Today one of the kids said to me, "Miss, you ain't rockin' the polo." What I should have said back to him was "Ok...show me how to rock it!"
How do you wear your polo?

teach by week to cowboy chic

I always find it interesting to see how bloggers live their lives outside of blogging. For me, I grew up in Dallas but moved to West Texas in college and have lived here almost ever since.
It was a major change of pace at first, but I've grown accustomed to and love the lifestyle here.
This weekend my husband and I went to see our lovely friends Kelley and Tyler and help with their annual branding.
So...by week I look like this.

my eyes needed a break away
from the 'ol contacts.
i don't think i ever want to get lasik
because i love my glasses that much.
that's kind of dumb though.
i could get lasik and still wear 
non-prescription glasses right?
a la taza?
ok, i've changed my own mind.
