after a month off from the blog, i’m finally back and ready for action! some of you may have seen on my stories that last week i was able to live out my life-long dream of being elsa while in canada. okay, it hasn’t been thaaat long but since discovering the most incredible ice masterpiece in alberta from this music video, i knew i needed to get there one day. dana and i had been talking about going on a winter trip for some time and since she was going to have a week off before starting her new job, we knew then would be our chance!
Read Morewell it’s that time of year again! i headed back home to attend the detroit institute of arts annual fundraising gala with my family. this year i opted for a more traditional look with a simple black ballgown and decided to make it a little more covered up by adding this lace button down from the archives. once i tried on everything it screamed “queen victoria meets billie porter" …and i’m not going to lie, i think i nailed it! haha!

one of my favorite things about the holidays are the opportunities to dress up! even if you’re overdressed for the dinner party, people just get it during this time of year! while i won’t officially be wearing this dress until an event back in michigan in january, this dress initially caught my eye for the annual met holiday party. i ended up re-wearing this dress from over the summer with a turtleneck underneath just because i wasn’t able to get the dress hemmed in time (but i obviously wanted to keep it long for these photos because #drama).
