Fresh for Spring

One of the few things that has been getting me through these past few freezing weeks is imaging all the new things I can buy for spring. Of course one of the newest trends for spring is black and white.

White DVF lace dress
I of course love lace. This dress is absolutely perfect for day to night, especially a spring wedding. Perhaps you can't wear white to a wedding but you can surely where ivory! This dress makes me want to go out to a garden party.

Valentino White Blazer
This blazer is very flattering. The black lace around the waist with break you up at just the right place if you have a long torso and the peplum is very forgiving.

Zara Trousers
Want an elongated leg? Just wear these trousers!

BCBG Heels
If you're on the short side like I am then you need all the height you can get! These hidden platform peep toe heels will give you the height without being obvious.

Product Review: Magnetic Nail Polish

Happy New Year! Recently I bought into one of the newest fads in nail polish which is magnetic nail polish. I bought some at the local drug store and decided to try it out. This post is of course in no way sponsored.

To get the creative designs from the magnet you hold the magnet over your finger while the polish is still wet. I was disappointed that the magnet did not seem to work no matter how long I held the magnet over my finger. I still like the color though.


So all in all:

Pros:
Cute color
Cheap, about 7$

Cons:
Doesn't work

Of course I will other brands but so far this is a bust.

What I did with my semester

This semester I took a cutting and draping class. It took me all semester but I finally finished my dress. It is a replica of Audrey Hepburn's dress from Breakfast at Tiffany's designed by Givenchy/Edith Head. I draped and constructed the entire dress and fitted it to myself. I finally feel like I have the perfect LBD. I am so glad that the dress and the semester are done!

One Holiday Down, One to Go

Skirt: French Connection | Top: H&M | Shoes: H&M | Sweater: BCBG | Clutch: H&M

On Thursday night my family and I went out for Thanksgiving dinner. We went the Wharf Tavern which is on the water in Rhode Island. We got to see the sun set over the water. It was unseasonably warm that day so I didn't even need my sweater. It isn't unusual for there to be snow on the ground on Thanksgiving. Hope everyone else in the US had a wonderful holiday! Of course now I am back in Philly to finish up the semester

Vegan Corn Bread

This weekend I channeled my inner domestic goddess and made some vegan corn bread. On Monday I am celebrating Thanksgiving with my Uarts theater design family and I am bringing this. There is no eggs or dairy in this recipe that I found online. Instead it uses silken tofu and soy milk but tastes just like the real thing! I haven't made corn bread in such a long time it was really nice and it only takes 20 minutes to bake!
