Baby Got Back

Hate to see you go, but love to watch you leave.

Baby Got Back
For Love and Lemons

A moment that sticks in my mind is a conversation that I had years ago with my Aunt Robin. I remember her explaining how beautiful she thought backs were. 'Backs?' I thought. It seemed so random!

But picture this: Breakfast at Tiffany’s begins, Audrey Hepburn strolling through New York City, coffee and croissant in hand. After lusting over a Tiffany’s showcase, she saunters off. Only this time, the 5 strands of pearls draped from the front of her neck and the Givenchy LBD that scoops across her shoulder blades showing juuuust enough skin before connecting in the middle of her back is replaced with a straight cut garment that leaves so much to the imagination that it doesn’t even exist. Not quite as sophisticated, huh?

Although a little more timeless than trendy, embracing the beauty of your back is something that goes so far under-the-radar that it’s hard to even capture its brilliance. Focusing on your back creates the sweet spot where sexy meets elegance.

Check out a few of these pieces from our favorite designers!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
