A few favorite things and more!

Bloggers, if you are interested then post these answers on your blog...

Readers, if you are interested please post your answers in the comment section.
I'll post mine too! I can't wait to hear your answers (be sure to include a link so we can get it)...



1) What kind of purse are you carrying right now?

Using: Right now I'm using a mini VV tote as a purse.

Coveting: This lovely and PERFECT Louis Vuitton handbag. I have a very much adored and loved Speedy 30 bag but I think the Neverfull would be a fantastic (and affordable - in LV terms, of course!!) addition. I love the shape, the handles - love it all!:

2) What kind of wallet is in your purse?
Using: A pink and green Vera Bradley which I will switch over to a basic brown leather wallet for the fall.
Coveting: A LV wallet to match. Naturally.


3) What kind of sunglasses are shading your eyes these days?

Using: A pair of black Eddie Bauer polarized. I really think they are fabulous day to day sunglasses - not too big, not too small.
Coveting: A big pair of Kate Spade:


4) What is your favorite lip gloss or lipstick?

Using: I'm not really a lip gloss/lipstick person until my lips get chapped. I keep Neutrogena lip gloss handy and Burts Bees shimmer balm. I enjoy them both.

5) What is your favorite fall/winter shoe?
Using: I really like J.Crew driving loafers, Bean Boots for nasty rainy days and I love a good brown leather boot.
Coveting: All of those beautiful leather boots out there that are too expensive and won't fit! I love all of the wool,tweed, herringbone flats J.Crew is offering.

We had a lovely and low key weekend. It included some long walks in the gorgeous weather, enjoying beer and french fries for dinner on an outdoor patio (oh, was that good!), watching football and organizing. It also included a trip to TJ Maxx and Old Navy. And I came home with nothing! Personally, I have a hard time with TJ Maxx - maybe I'm too impatient or our TJ doesn't have great selection (both, really) but I never stumble across great designer deals that my friends seem to find. And Old Navy? Don't even get me started on the HIGH waisted jeans and "fair isle" sweaters. Plus, trying on things is a nightmare. I'm really in between 2 sizes right now which is frustrating. So, this gal is sticking with her beloved online orders from places where the sizes are somewhat reliable! So, I ended up ordering pants from Lands End and Ann Taylor Loft. I'm usually pleased with ATL but never ordered pants from LE.
Unfortunately, it did include some much needed library hours but they helped me get ready for the week. We also watched Fun with Dick and Jane, which is? Hilarious. I laughed out loud quite heartily. A lot.

Well, I've got a ton of papers to grade and a ton of pages to write. So, off I go! I can't believe its practically the mid-term. My students and I are both losing steam. Hopefully, we will get it back soon!

I think the sdecret of TJ Maxx and Marshalls is frequency. I go so often - like 2-3-4 times a week that I know where to look and what to look for. I find great things!

love this little question/answer post, I think I'm going to do it sometime this week! check me out!
also, I love AT and ATL pants, they are the best, fit nice, great quality and really wear well for years, in my experience!
I agree with Kerry - frequency is key! I'm not big into those stores because I get in to too much trouble, but my mom haunts them and she finds some great stuff- just need to know when to play and when to fold, you know! Great post!
