• I have been lusting after the Madewell Transport Tote for years after seeing it on Fran's blog. However, recently I have found myself carrying my black Kate Spade Bradley Backpack to work more often than a tote. This has caused the Madewell Small Transport Tote to catch my eye more. I do not like to carry large purses around with me during daily outings so this seems like a perfect meet in the middle bag for me.

• I am currently waiting on my at home try-on pair of the Warby Parker Watts glasses. I have been looking for the perfect pair of round glasses to add to my collection and I am hoping that these are it!

• I have into a new condo in the city!
• I don't work in higher education anymore. I actually got a new job in the city that still utilizes a lot of the same principles, but towards a customer success perspective instead of student success. I am absolutely loving every moment of it.

So Long 2017!

So long 2017! Cheers to a bigger and brighter 2018!

higher ed happenings //

• To start off with some lighthearted news, a reporter investigated this screenshot that has been circulating the web recently to find out whether or not it was real or a hoax
• Paola Garcia, a student at Transylvania University, stated that another student at the university has been posting personal information as well as threats against her due to her immigration status. This comes after Trump has announced his plan to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. 
• Louisiana State University’s Phi Delta Theta chapter is under investigation for hazing after the death of Phi Delta Theta pledge, Maxwell Gruver. LSU has currently suspended all fraternity and sorority operations indefinitely while the investigation takes place.

• I haven’t been doing a lot of online browsing in the last few weeks, but on a trip to Target, I noticed they have started carrying the A New Day clothing line in its stores. I have browsed around both in store and online and I am really enjoying the simplicity of the pieces and their ability to be worn at work. I have bought the Utility Popover Shirt it is very comfortable.
• It's September, which means I have Halloween and fall already on the brain. This Candy Corn Sweater from Modcloth is absolutely adorable. I could see this as a tasteful work wear piece for those who can’t dress up in their office for Halloween.
