Joggjeans
Yesterday I went shopping and I got these pair of sweatpants. It is a revolutionary new fabric created by Diesel, they have the feel and look of jeans but they are way more comfortable than jeans. I personally hate sweatpants and I believe in Karl Lagerfeld’s quote “Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life so you bought some sweatpants.” But these pants are not sweat pants they are actually jeans, so they get my approval. Here is a picture of the jeans I baught:

Dita Von Teese’s 3D Printed Dress
This dress created by New York designer Michael Schmidt and architect Francis Bitonti is one of the first of its kind. The entire dress was created using 3D printers. The dress is made out of nylon and draped over a nude silk corset. The nylon is so flexible that it acts like a fabric. After hand-linking all the pieces together, the dress was incrusted with 12,000 crystals.

L’Incomparable Diamond Necklace – Mouawad
My jaw dropped when I saw this necklace, mind you I was in the middle of class. So now you can imagine how stupid I looked. Mouawad’s latest creation is The L’Incomparable Diamond Necklace which boasts 637 carats. Thats not all, the necklace has the world’s largest flawless diamond. The 407.48 carats yellow diamond suspends from the white diamond necklace. At this point all we can do is dream. As Mouawad stated ” Befitting of a royal court, L’Incomparable Diamond Necklace leaves nothing to be desired except to grace the neck of a queen or a very special woman that absolutely deserves nothing less.” Here is a picture and video about the necklace. I thought a picture would not be sufficient.

Shopping for Graduation
A few may know that I will be graduating in 8 weeks. So I am freaking out about what I am going to do with my life, where I am going to end up, and what future steps I should be taking to work towards achieving my goals and dreams. But somedays I try to forget all about these worries and I try to figure out what shopping I need to get done for the events that are taking place then. My parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents are flying in for my graduation. I feel so blessed that they are all coming that’s why I am already excited about it. When thinking about the graduation ceremony the first thing that comes to mind is what would I wear on that day.
A few days ago I went suit window shopping, and my jaw dropped when I saw this suit at Suit Supply. I love the idea that it is a day suit and double breasted. If I would wear it, I would style it differently. I was thinking of wearing it with a knit straight end tie and monks. Tell me what you think about it!

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
The reason why I haven’t blogged for the past ten days was because I was on spring break in Punta Cana. The trip in general was amazing and I personally couldn’t have asked for more. We were a group of 10 people trying to get the fullest out of our last spring break before graduation. Our trip wasn’t all perfect though, getting there was a mission. My friends and I were supposed to fly with US Airways from DC to Philadelphia and then take a flight to Punta Cana. Well this didn’t happen, our flight out of DC got delayed, and the lady sitting behind the counter didn’t want to help us or find a solution so she assured us that we should get on the flight to Philadelphia and we would make the flight. We got to Philadelphia the flight had already taken off and the only flight with seats on it would be taking off from Philadelphia is after two days. After arguing for an hour and calling everyone possible, we found a solution, we had to fly from Philadelphia to Fort Lauderdale, drive from Fort Lauderdale to Miami, fly from Miami to Santo Domingo, then drive for three hours to Punta Cana. That’s excluding the trouble we had with locating our bags because the airlines mistagged our luggage. Nevertheless, we all had a great time and here are a few pictures from our trip:

Oscars 2013
Many stars walked down the red carpet, but the following stars are the ones that stood out the most for me. I especially loved Jennifer Lawrence’s Dior Couture dress. Also I loved how Jennifer Lawrence’s fall showed the full beauty of the dress. Charlize Theron also wore a Dior Couture dress. While Amy Adams wore an Oscar de la Renta.
