10 Tips For New Teachers

With school right around the corner I figured I would share some advice for any new teachers, interns, or education students that may be following me. Although this is primarily a fashion/beauty blog it feels good to be writing about something else I am so passionate about. I haven’t been in ‘the game’ that long but I have had enough experiences in the last five years that I figured I would share some of it.

Ten Tips To Staying Sane & Learning To Love Teaching In Your First Year(s)

Good HYOUman… great sweater

There is nothing like coming home from work and cozying up in your favorite sweats and sweater… this one has quickly become my favorite!

With fall just around the corner I have noticed it is starting to cool off in the evenings. That doesn’t mean I don’t love heading out for a bike ride, a walk with Sunny, or sitting around a campfire. This good hYOUman sweater I grabbed from Bella Chic’s last pop-in sale is just the perfect thing to throw on- it is unbelievably soft, super cute, and the story behind the company makes it that much better… more about that here.

Fall Transitions

As much as I love summer… Fall has always been, and will continue to be my favorite season of all. There are lots of reasons for me to favorite the season of pumpkin spice but the most obvious is the start of the new school year. Often people ask me if I dread going back to school and I can honestly say I don’t. I love having my summers off- I believe they’re necessary to recharge and rejuvenate. I see the fall as a new beginning. How many jobs provide you with the opportunity to have a fresh start every single year? A new batch of buttons (children), new books, new day planner, new room set-up, and fresh new ideas… I honestly cannot think of another profession that allows you to have that luxury. A clean slate, a new start… best feeling ever!!

Road Trippin’

Having the summers off is about as awesome as you probably think it is… People often comment each year about how lucky I am to have the summers off, I prefer to think I have earned it but I will let you decide 😉

Our summer began with little plans but quickly filled up with travel and adventure. Back in February I received Taylor Swift tickets for my birthday from my parents and I couldn’t have been more excited!!! It was in Edmonton, where my sister lives, and in the summer so it was the perfect set up for a western Canada roadie!

To make matters even more perfect, Ford Canada contacted me about taking their brand new Ford Mustang (awesome!!!)for a week to try… ding ding ding… for having no plans, this was really starting to fall into place perfectly!

We decided to head up to Edmonton for the concert and to see my beautiful new niece, Isla, then head down to Calgary, and on to Canmore, Banff, and Lake Louise!

LunaTees Love #GIVEAWAY

Graphic t’s have been a big part of my wardrobe this summer- they are casual, cute, and give your outfit that little bit of personality. Pair this shirt with some cut-off’s or ripped denim for that easy everyday summer look or if you’re looking for something a little edgier try rocking it tucked in with a skirt-totally adorable!

This shirt from Lunatees in particular has been my favorite for several reasons, first being the fit. Although it is considered a boyfriend style, it’s not too big or boxy making it easy to tuck into those cute skirts!

For Fringe Sakes

Fringe has always been something that catches my eye, but at times I can feel a little lost when it comes to styling it. How do you make it look sweet without it looking like you’re off to a music festival with a headband and a million rainbow bracelets stacked on your arms- don’t get me wrong, that look is totally awesome but not exactly what I want to pull off every time I wear fringe.

The Perfect Crop Top

Crop tops can seriously be the best/ easiest thing to wear. They go with anything from the girliest skirt to a pair of ripped denim. Here are some tips to follow when looking to purchase a good crop:

Fit: Like anything, the fit is everything. Finding one that is not too short, too long, isn’t too tight, too loose and doesn’t pull awkwardly can be quite tough… but when you find one, you’ll know, so buy it in multiple colors.

Style: I prefer a tight fighting crop as I find them the easiest to style. As mentioned before, they transition easily from ripped denim to looking chic with a nice pencil skirt. Although, don’t discredit those flowy & feminine ones either. They are great as well just can be a bit harder to style. I guess when it comes to choosing a style, keep the following in mind: your body type -what is the most flattering from all angles? Make sure to check the back! How many ways can you style this? When I am debating a purchase I try to think of at least three outfits before I purchase, and if you’re only buying in one color stick to black. It goes with everything and transitions flawlessly from season to season allowing you to get the most wear out of it.

Details: A great crop with just the perfect amount of detail is actually quite hard to find so luckily I have done the research for you. Sage Wosminity, a local designer, only 17 years old grabbed my attention at Sask Fashion Week two years ago. Her collection was fun and flirty but still had that sophistication older audiences gravitate towards. Pretty outstanding young women with more drive, dedication, and ambition that many adults I know. I hardly know this girl and my heart bursts with pride every time I see her work. I have gotten to know her a little more over the last few months and I am antsy to see her next move- girls got talent. Her attention to detail is undeniable and will take her places if she continues to hustle.

What I Wore: Concert Edition

SO, last night Brandon and I went to the Taylor Swift concert with my sister Heather and her husband Randy and it was actually the most amazing concert ever!! Taylor Swift fan or not, the show in itself is just fabulous. I was legit fan girling the entire time. Thankfully we ended up sitting beside a girl who was super sweet and probably fan girl’d even harder than I did…nothing worse than sitting by someone who just isn’t on the same level as you- thanks Tessa, I just love meeting new people!
