Today, Boxing Day, aka St. Stephan's Day, is a day in the U.S. where there just happens to be many bargains at the Mall. That is, of course, if you're up to facing the hoards of people.

I ventured with my friend Laura to look for a gown for the President's Ball.

I found one. Black chiffon with an gorgeously beaded empire waist, teeny knife pleats ( Read more... )

( Musings on the thread... )

...and it is EXCELLENT to be back. :)
(And no, I am not being sarcastic this time. I've been wanting to be back to school since last week Wednesday)

Nothing quite like paper deadlines and tests to keep a girl good an' busy. Add a job and things might just be perfect.

Tried to work on this pretty little hairpiece idea for the PB, since I don't have ( Read more... )
