Fight For Ol' Mizzou

All the makings of a perfect last home football game:
vintage mascot t-shirt, check.
perfect black cardigan, check.
wayfarers to accompany 70+ degree weather, check.
black and gold hair bow, check.

Go Tigers! How do you dress for your team's football games? I always loved how schools from the south pull out all the stops—sundresses and heels, sport coats and neckties—but nothing beats the comfort of jeans and a T (especially if they're cute!).

Kidding Around



I have always gotten great satisfaction from finding clothes in the children's department. Little boy Polo button-downs, Old Navy girls dresses, and Crewcuts accessories are among my favorite things.

This video is brilliant, and only makes my obsession with all things Gap Kids (and Stella McCartney) that much more intense.

Of Mice and Babies

I take back everything I have ever said about not wanting to have kids, under the condition that he or she can wear these for the first few months of life.

An alternative option would be buying two pairs and a puppy.

Little Marc, mouse-embellished crib shoes, priceless (but also $84).

Reunited!

After a week spent cursing the sunshine, my sunglasses fell from heavenor the top of my black-hole-of-a-closet, ratherand returned to me. I can finally enjoy the beautiful autumn weather again.

This incredibly small and admittedly superficial occurrence in my life has reaffirmed everything I ever believed about optimism and karma and positivity.

Also, sorry I look so glamorous after spending hours doing homework, writing papers, and watching several weeks' worth of episodes of Greek.

Winter Song















October 31 is one of my favorite days of the year, and not just because it's Halloween (although that certainly contributes to the greatness). Mostly, the reason I adore the last day of October is because it precedes the first day of November, also known as the greatest month of all time.

November brings holiday music and Christmas decorations, snowy weather reports and cozy sweaters, Thanksgiving vacation and pumpkin-flavored treats.

As of this morning, I don't want to be listening to anything other than Ingrid Michaelson's Winter Song and Matt Pond PA's Holiday Road on repeat. Simarly, I don't want to wear anything other than cashmere cable knit, fair isle cardigans, and these incredible flannel nightgowns.

Although they're technically sleepwear, I'm envisioning them with leggings, boots, and an extra-thick scarf. Especially perfect for an early morning class, because I could quite literally roll right out of bed and into the classroom. Might as well take advantage of pajamas-in-public while it's socially acceptable.
