I LOVE Pajamas Sets
Around early summer time I started seeing these cute pajama sets, and now I can’t get them out of my mind. They look so clean and crisp. I also love the matchy-matchy feel. And some have stripes!

Welcome to Fall!
I love that Starbucks has seasonal drinks. It gives me something to look forward to with the changing of seasons. I had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte yesterday and while the weather is still quite warm, I enjoyed every last drop of it.

I found this article on the Levo League entertaining. Which drink do you usually order? Do you think their description fits you?

As a young teacher I walk the fine line of dressing professionally while still displaying my style. J.Crew and Kate Spade are two of my go to designers.
J.Crew has this delicious mix of clothing made in house, and designers that display their products under the J.Crew name creating a line with good variety in style and fabric. Currently I have my eye on the following pieces. How would you mix and match them? Which ones do you like?
Currently I’m reading The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey. It’s a post-apocalyptical book in which aliens arrive on earth and kill many humans in an attempt to take over the planet. The book follows two main characters Ben Parrish and Cassie Sullivan as they struggle through a plague sent by the aliens to eliminate the human race. The aliens pit the human race against each other as they reside in human brains and make it impossible to determine the difference between human and alien.

In short, it’s great. At least, so far. I’ll let you know if the last 100 or so pages change my mind on that verdict. If you know of any post-apocalytical books that you have read and loved, please pass them along! I am always up for a new book/author.
The family and I started watching Newsroom a few weeks ago. We loved West Wing and Newroom is written by the same author: Aaron Sorkin. We have been playing catch-up as Season 2 is airing currently. I just watched the season premiere with the short one and it seems like this season will be fast paced. I’m excited to see where exactly they take it.

I hope everyone had a lovely long weekend. The roommate and I watched TV and tidied up the apartment. It looks so clean I almost don’t recognise it!
I was chatting with a friend earlier today, and I got schooled on the difference between gingham and plaid. Do you know the difference?

I thought they were similar patterns but when you look at the fine print there are a few things that separate them. This quick article succinctly explains it if you were out of the loop just like me. :]

Prepare yourselves: it’s a long photo-filled glorious post!
My roommate has two adorable labs. We brought them out to California in June/July and they are great company. Reeces is 9 years old and is a chocolate Lab. She is also the mother of Nala, who is a yellow lab. Nala is 4 years old. Both dogs are friendly and play well with my brothers dog Crash. Crash is just over a year old, and is a Belgian Malinois.

Crash! Isn’t he beautiful?
Nala loves to relax in my room, and in particular on my bed. She has become rather attached to one of my stuffed animals.
Nala loves my dinosaur teddy bear.
It was a very busy weekend. Thus the radio silence since my post on Friday morning. Friday evening a group of us dressed in our Sunday best gathered for a glass of wine at my parents house. I’m hoping this becomes a regular thing, but we shall see! After tasting a lovely chardenay, we went over to Sweet Tomatoes for a bite to eat. Robert documented our loveliness and produced these fine things:

On Saturday the whole family, both roommates and I went down to the premiere Bacon Festival in San Jose. We waited in long lines and then chowed down on some seriously tasty bacon filled tidbits. My favorite was the garlic and bacon fries.
The family, roommates and I.
How was your weekend? What did you do? Are you enjoying this long weekend?

So my Iphone case currently is showing some wear and tear. It mostly means that the rubber part around it is now loose and does not stay in place. In short, it bugs me because I have to constantly adjust it. But Otterbox has kept my phone intact so I am slightly nervous to switch brands, but this has happened twice in the year that I have had this brand.
In the meantime I have started looking at new Iphone cases. There are so many cute options!
Since I have a nautical theme going on, it would be so cute to have something anchors. But then there are some cheerful monogrammed or animal ones as well. So many choices!
Option One: I love this color.
Option 2: It has coral on it! And a monogram.
Option 3: I love the text in the background. So detailed.
Option 4: I like this color combo, and the cute elephant in the corner!
Option 5: This is the one I like the most!
Option 6; aren’t these zebras cute?
So which ones do you like? Which one would you get? Tell me which one to get please! What does your case look like? Where did you get it? Do you still love it?
Love,

On Wednesday my good friend Joey swung by the house to show off his new car. It was a sexy little white convertible, and we zoomed off to celebrate at Santana Row with some bubble tea. He was over the moon about this new beast of his.
Isn’t it pretty?
Joey is happy.

All good things come to those who wait:
Beautiful things come in pretty boxes.
I also picked up a new planner. As much as I love my little Iphone, I really do love writing things down physically. I seem to remember them better if I do, and I also love looking over the week as a whole. While I have finally figured out how to use the Iphone Calendar, I am forever making mistakes and putting events on the wrong day/time. So for now, back to my beloved Moleskine. I love the 18 months planner, it covers the school year and summer all wrapped in one! I started using them my first year of college and have used all used many of their different products over the years.

I stopped by the farmers market on my way home to pick up some summer fruit and flowers. Fresh flowers, and sunflowers in particular, make every day a little bit brighter, don’t you agree?
Sunflowers are my favorite flower
So how was your Thursday? Did you do anything fun? Do you have any plans for the upcoming long weekend?

Have I mentioned I adore with all things nautical? Our house is named Queen’s Cove and even has it’s own Foursquare check in spot. I just ordered this little gem. It has been out of stock this whole summer, so when I got the email that they had some in stock I snapped one up!

I watched So You Think You Can Dance when I was in high school. One of the students (Nick Lazarini) was in my advanced dance classes at my high school and won the first or second season when I was a freshman. I started watching SYTYCD because of him. One of the most recent episodes had an outstanding performance by Amy and Travis , that reminded me of a routine danced by
Travis and Heidi in an earlier season (not the same Travis :] ). The passion and emotion comes across so clearly in both pieces.
Performed by Amy and Travis
Performed by Heidi and Travis:
The costumes, the music, the dancing, it’s all spectacular. What did you think? Did you like one better than the other?
Recently this song has been on repeat. I heard it in this movie 10 Years, and fell in love with this song called Never Had by Oscar Isaac. I love the idea of guy writing a love song about what could have happened, but for some reason didn’t. Listen to it and tell me what you think.
Is there anything that you wish could have happened that didn’t? Any path that you thought you would take but for some reason didn’t?
Love,

Classy and Fabulous
