Wearable Art Dress



I made this for one of my fashion classes. I used feathers, a trash bag, aluminum foil, construction paper and mirrors. My idea was to make it futuristic with the mirrors and shiny aluminum. The inspiration came from spaceships and things like that. Let me know what you think!

Fashions for the holiday season

With it being the day before Thanksgiving and exactly a month til Christmas (yay!) I thought I'd go into detail on a few outfits and accessories I'll be wearing this season.


*snake skin leggings (Target), purple top (Charlotte Russe), gray black & silver bracelets, black flats (Target)
-->Perfect for a night out with friends.


-->Pointed toe black flats are essential to any girl's wardrobe.


*black pencil skirt (Forever 21), white stretch tank, black sweater (Ralph Lauren), shiny silver tights (Forever 21), pearl drop necklace (Charlotte Russe), and black suede boots (Rack Room Shoes)
-->This outfit can be worn just about anywhere during the holidays. Thanksgiving dinners, Christmas parties, out to dinner with friends and family.


*gold white & black necklace (Forever 21)
-->And you can switch it up a little with a simple change of necklace & tights (try red or black!)


*Ralph Lauren Outlet store, $75
-->I'm in love with this basic Polo Ralph Lauren black sweater.


*Dillards (Gianni Bini, $90)
-->I bought these gorgeous silver heels for Homecoming last year and I haven't had a chance to wear them again but I think they'll be perfect for this holiday season...with a red Christmas dress or a LBD for New Year's Eve.

Let me introduce myself...
My name's Leah. I'm a fashion merchandising major at Virginia Commonwealth University. I plan on minoring in Public Relations as well. My dream is to work for a magazine one day, like Nylon, Vogue or Glamour. I love traveling...I want to go everywhere. I also dream of living in New York City and hopefully I will one day. I'm a shop-a-holic like most fashion obsessed girls and I love to find a bargain. So in this blog I hope I can help others with finding the best deals on the latest fashions. Other things about me...I love reading, painting and sketching, watching Friends (the best show ever!), my cat, my boyfriend, baking, and decorating. That's all for now... xo, Leah
