Chrysanthemum

This Thanksgiving will definitely be one we will talk about for years to come. A foot of snow... Hanging trees... Broken branches... No electricity for almost 3 days..... You know, just all of the great things you like to have at Thanksgiving. I got home from the airport around 2:30pm on Wednesday afternoon and the snow was really coming down out there.  There was about 3 inches on the ground by the time we got all the way home. As the night went on, our lights kept flickering on and off for a couple of hours when eventually the lights just went completely out around 6. Luckily, my parents invested in a generator a few years ago so my dad filled up the tank with the rest of the gas we had. Our generator only runs our water, heat and a few other essentials which is just enough to get us by.  Around maybe 10:30-11pm the power came back on and it looked like we were in luck! Although when I woke up the next morning......power was out and we had abou...

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope that everyone had a nice warm holiday! I know that a lot of us in New Hampshire didn't! We had a huge storm hit us Wednesday night and we ended up getting about 10" of snow and lost power for a few days.  Luckily I was able to fly out of Philadelphia before the storm got really bad.  I got back okay, but my suitcase unfortunately did not. Though it was a hassle, I was thankful to wake up thanksgiving morning to see that my suitcase had safely arrived!  I was particularly excited because my Thanksgiving outfit was inside of my bag; This little number was a pick from my previous roommates donation pile of clothes.  Evelyn was kind enough to let me pick through the bags and pull some clothes that I really liked, this was one of them.  I paired the outfit with an old pair of Steve Madden shoes and bronze HUE tights. I'm pretty sure that this dress can be found at Anthropologie , but I am not sure if it is still a...

I meant to do my halloween post weeks  ago but I've found myself working a lot of over time at work lately! For Halloween this year I made the risky decision to make my own costume.  When thinking of what I wanted to be I wasn't sure at first.  The more and more I looked around pinterest, the more I wanted to be something original and different.  I decided to design a Water Nymph costume for myself. I wanted something pretty, elegant and flowy...and blue! Getting the fabric was SO cheap and I was thrilled when I got to check out and only payed $19 for all of my materials!  Since the dress form that I got for Christmas last year is still back home in New Hampshire, I ended up going back to school with a friend and using the studio to drape and make my pattern.  It kind of sucked because I knew I was going to be able to make something close to my drawing. This was the fruits of my labor; I made everything from head to toe, even my ...
