Messy Hair, Don't Care

| top: Charlotte Russe (my color sold out, but different colors on sale here, here, and here.)| shorts: Target | shoes: Hinge (similar) | purse: Michael Kors (similar) | necklace: J. Crew | bracelet: Alex and Ani |






This was a look I wore for a hectic day. If you want to know how hectic my day is, look at my hair. Hair doesn't lie. But honestly, I like hectic and crazy hair. It's kind of my thing. 

My sister got me this top for Christmas this past year. I got a lot of use out of it in the winter, but finally pulled it out for summer. I love the high-low cut, which adds character to simple cut off shorts. As I said above, my color is sold out, but there are several other colors available online, which are all on sale. My denim shorts are on sale now, too! 

Have a Terrific Tuesday!

Borrowed From The Boys

| dress: Forever 21 | shirt: Borrowed from my hubs | belt: vintage | pumps: Charles by Charles David (similar) | 
 | bag: borrowed from my mama | bracelet: Alex and Ani | sunglasses: Anthropologie |




 Okay, first of all, did I wear anything of my own in this photo? But seriously, I love borrowing Brian's shirts and layering them over dresses. With all the rain Ohio's been having this summer, the weather has been fluctuating from chilly to hot...this was one of those chilly days where I appreciated the extra layer. With all the crazy patterns in this look, I kept my jewelry minimal with my single Alex and Ani bracelet.  

What do you love to borrow from the boys?

Thanks for reading!!

Insta-Lately

This was my first experience with a tandem bike and it was pretty interesting! It was a little scary at first, but really fun! This bike belongs to our in-laws and we rode it out to get ice cream one evening. 

I wish I had the braiding skills of a Disney Princess, but I don't, so this is about as fancy as it gets. Seriously, I watch you-tube videos all the time on braiding, but it always looks like a giant fail!

I got to see my brother who lives in Chicago earlier this summer at a pretty outdoor wedding. There was summer sangria, dancing, and perfect weather!

I attended a training for educators earlier this summer and went home with a bunch of free resources! This makes my teacher's heart giddy. 

My husband and I on our five year anniversary...we celebrated with steak at Mancy's Steakhouse in Toledo! Btw, this was also my students' last day of school, which took a lot of energy out of me, so it took everything within me to not doze off during dinner! 

Just a little reminder that I love. 

My little Gunther waiting for me to throw a water-bottle cap, which he loves to play fetch with. It's pretty hilarious. Whenever he wants to play, he drops one on our lap. 

Those are my recent instagrams! I have my account sent to private right now, because several students at my school found me and I felt weird about it. Not that I have anything to hide, but it didn't give me a good feeling. But if you'd like to follow along and I see that you are in fact not a fourth grade student, I will gladly accept: @cmunafo

Have a wonderful weekend! Thanks so much for reading!

It Had To Be Mew

| top: Modcloth | jeans: Mother | shoes: Prada | sunglasses: Anthropologie | bracelets: vintage, Alex & Ani, J. Crew
|ring: Forever 21 | nails: Essie, "Go Ginza" |





For quirky prints that are simultaneously adorable and creepy, leave it to Modcloth. When I first saw this top, (it's called "It Had To Be Mew," by the way) it was a no brainer. Not only am I a crazy cat lady, but these sweet little faces just happen to resemble my Gunther. I've worn this top with skinny jeans, black slacks, and pencil skirts. When I wore it to work recently, one of my students told me that I dress, "so weird, but so cool...like Miss Frizzle." That's a Magic School Bus reference in case ya didn't know. Bam. Can't beat that. Thanks Modcloth for making me popular with the 4th graders.

Falling in Love with Toledo: Lululemon Toledo Showroom

Hi friends! As mentioned earlier, I would like to post one lifestyle post per week. An idea I had for that is "Falling in love with Toledo." Toledo is where I have been planted for the time being and I love to find the hidden treasures in the area. (I promise you...the gems are there! Sometimes you have to dig to find them, but they're there!) These "Falling in Love" posts will highlight some of the things that help make Toledo great...and maybe it will encourage you to go out and fall in love with your own city. Or if you're in the area, hopefully this helps you see the great things that Toledo does have to offer. 





One of the things I've greatly enjoyed are my Saturday mornings with the Lululemon team. They have a store in downtown Perrysburg and provide a free yoga class every Saturday at 9:30, with an optional run at 9:00 (they call this "roga"). For the month of June, we've been doing the yoga in a local park and it's been heavenly. There's something so relaxing about doing some yoga in the sunshine, surrounded by green grass. It's a great Saturday activity to do with girlfriends right before a weekend brunch. If you're in the area and want more information, be sure to like their Facebook page!

Casual Grecian Vibes

I've always had a thing for mint/sea foam green. This simple t-shirt from Target has been a staple for me lately (I have it in a few other colors as well). What's even better is that my husband loves it...who knew this man was so easy to please? A tee that's simple, comfortable, and easy on the wallet? I'm in. Also ladies, these jeans. I love AG denim. They're so flattering and comfortable. I wore this look to a graduation party recently. The headband, gladiator sandals, and bangles really vamp up the simple jeans and tee look. How do you enhance a simple look? 

Today I'm linking up with Tara from Mix & Match Fashion who is sharing summer looks with a variety of other bloggers!

Hunter Boots in Summer

| little black dress- express | chambray- j crew (similar)| boots- hunter
| sunglasses- american apparel (similar) | clutch- gap | necklace- tiffany and co. (similar) |





 Let me start this post with some words for my hunter boots: Thank you for being a staple for me all year long. Also, thank you for making rain puddles irresistible. 

And now, back to you. Our climate this summer has been a bit weird. We've had lots of rain (it actually poured minutes before these photos were taken) and it's been unseasonably chilly. I wore this look to church this week. The jersey fabric makes this lbd a little more casual and I love carrying my chambray for when I get cold (especially inside air conditioned buildings...I freeeeeze). Here's to warmer days ahead!

Well ladies and gents, it's been a long time coming, but here is my first outfit post. I realize the picture quality is not the best, as I do not own a DSLR, but I am actually just happy to put something out there. I have a lot to learn, but I am excited! My goal is to post three outfit posts, one shopping post, and one lifestyle post per week. I love to write, I adore fashion, and I love finding inspiration from other bloggers. I figured, "Why not start to contribute to some of that inspiration, Court?" Whether you find it inspirational or not is up to you and your cup of tea, but I think this is going to be an excellent creative outlet for me. So welcome and thank you for stopping by!
