starting spring break off with a {rangers} win!

I have made it to spring break. 

I thought Friday would be a relaxing night... 

surprise tickets to the Ranger game from my dad = unexpected trip to NYC

Started Spring Break off with a {Rangers} win!

Here's to a week of blogging and catching up on things I like to do =)

Thursday Throwback

I am really into alliteration these days on this here blog. 

I wanted to do this post as a catch up to show you have I have been up when I am unable to blog everyday... 

The fiancé turned 24 {old man}

I can't believe we have been together since we were only 19!

 We added a new member to our very large greek family 

AXiD =)

 for my next pictures,

Science teaching is not always pretty...

But it is always fun =)

Wedding Wednesday

I have some very exciting news to share, 

It is official! I am getting married!!

After months of searching I finally booked a reception hall!

We decided on:

Adorable old mansion, one event at a time, amazing view of the golf course

the best part? 

A 70's Disco after party room complete with a light up dance floor. 
Yes. 

I also met an awesome lady at a my first and only bridal show that will be running a photo booth for our wedding:

 I had so much fun with my mom and future mother-in-law with the photo booth and I need it!

Follow my wedding planning ideas on my Pinterest =)

Haven't started a count down or anything, but about a year and a half to go =)

Hilarious to tour venues and have people ask "How long have you been engaged"
O about 2 years. 
Taking it slow =)

half way!

It is official, I have reached the half way mark of student teaching, 

I am enjoying it a lot but I am exhausted {and going broke...}

I am surviving thanks to the amazing support from my co-op and co-teachers =)

One of my co-ops gave me this beautiful plant!

And then she gave me the coolest/most thoughtful present:

A survival kit on how to survive student teaching!

It is so detailed with little notes and jokes!

 I was so surprised and excited to be appreciated =)

Such a cute idea =) 

I have been searching for the perfect present for the teachers who have taken me under their wing & I think I have found the perfect ones:

Remember when I got the Ho Ho Ho & Barium sign made out of elements from the periodic table from TheElegantWall?

I am going to order a "Teacher" one for my co-op & the last name for one of my co-teachers & a "Think" one for my other co-teacher. 

Sounds like a perfect plan! Keep ya posted =)

hello weekend. very nice to see you. why can't we be friends?

I have been working my butt off. 

literally, I don't have time to eat so I am thinning out in the rear. 

So in my day dreams {when I have a second to breath} I have been thinking about my bucket list of dream bags, 

Here are the first ones off the top of my head:

#1: Chloe Marcie Large leather tote {$1,900}

#2: Classic Chanel Black leather quilted XL $3,000

#3: Balenciaga Arena Classic City {$1,550}

#4: My latest obsession, this bag is beautiful Rebecca Minkoff Ostrich Embossed Romeo Satchel {$550}

#5: Even though this is a bucket list of sorts, I can't bring myself to add a real Hermes bag to the list, I mean really what person in their right mind spends $30K on a bag, I mean that is a car. A pretty decent car. So instead I would love this Banane Taipei canvas tote in Midnight Magenta {$130}

#6: Louis Vuitton Tivoli-GM. {$1,600} 

UPDATE: I knew I was missing one major one!

#7: Celine luggage bag I love this bag in any color and material, the structure is so amazing =)

So while I am day dreaming about these beautiful babies, this is that I have pilling up for some weekend fun:

I mean I should get one of those beautiful bags to carry all this stuff I have to grade, no?

At least this was my horoscope from ShoeDazzle:

Thank. God.

But I do have the pleasure of coming home to these babies:

I love them. 

A very green weekend

I am going to go out on a limb here & be honest. 

I wore this green blazer all weekend. 

 What I wore: green blazer- thrifted, green shirt- mom's, stripped jeans- forever 21, green flats- thrifted. 

Glasses: new bon look Drink the Kool-Aid Black & Clear.

Check out my amazing new bag I thrifted:

It is Datti for Alitalia. 

Retails on ebay for over $100! 

{I got it for $2-- never know what you are going to get}

I LOVE IT!

We went to NY to visit some family

The puppies on the way to New York! 

Maggie's first time! 

They are adorable!

 The sister, the fiancé, & me!

 The sister, mom & me!

& of course a tire swing-- in the honesty light, I was stuck after this for quite some time.

there we go, now that we got that out, say hello to my new bonlook glasses =)

I couldn't help but cross these babies off my Wish / Shopping List ;-) when this deal came by:

$50 for prescription glasses that I have been waiting to get, heck yes. 

Take advantage of this amazing deal here! 

Anyways...

Happy Belated St. Patty's Day =)

faves for friday

Here is what I am digging on this fabulous friday =)

 I am obsessed with these spiked flats from ShoeDazzle.

I can't decide if I want a black pair or the pink pair {but the pinks are sold out)

Anyways they are adorable I could wear these all the time, add a little punk to my teacher wardrobe and trouser pants.

 I have an addiction to this stuff. 

I wish I was eating it right now, but I thought it would be weird to bring that to work and be snacking on them all day...

 Look what came in!! My bfrend bracelet!

{talked about it here}

 I am in love with my new patent leather loafers from Fancy French Cologne 

{also my new affiliates! Such cute stuff-- check them out!}

 This months Birchbox from teen vogue is awesome! My favorite one yet!

The tarte LipSurgence is such a great color!

These flats are the new answer to my neon dreams!

Ann Taylor $120 and I want you to get in my closet ASAP. 

I need more pointy toes.

Here is to Saint Patty's day & the weekend, 

and to wearing green!
