Oscars Fashion 2017: First Impressions
The Week

I'm writing this as the Oscars are beginning, and I've been taking notes on all of the red carpet looks I've seen so far. Here are my first impressions about the best and worst of 2017 Oscars fashion: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Best Dressed, The Women: Hailee Steinfeld and Taraji P. Henson

 

Seeing Hailee Steinfeld in her sheer floral dress made my jaw drop. I love everything about her look, from her hair to her makeup to every ruffle on her gown. At only 20 years old, Hailee Steinfeld is already making huge waves on the Oscar red carpet.

Taraji P. Henson can't go unmentioned. She looks absolutely amazing in her classic black gown and glimmering necklace, and will definitely be turning heads all night.

Best Dressed, The Men: Mahershala Ali and Dev Patel

 

In his black on black ensemble, with just a pop of color in his pocket square, Mahershala Ali looks super sophisticated and sleek. Dev Patel, wearing a black and white suit, looks fresh and classy. Both of them definitely hit the mark this year.

More Favorite Looks, The Women: From Chrissy Teigen to Octavia Spencer

Octavia Spencer in Marchesa and Kirsten Dunst in Dior.

Honorable Mentions, The Women: Zuri Hall and Luciana Barroso

Zuri Hall was one of the presenters on the E! News red carpet coverage, and I could not stop staring at her gorgeous purple floral gown. And Matt Damon's wife, Luciana Barroso, looked absolutely incredible in her gown and definitely deserved a mention.

Honorable Mentions, The Men: Lin-Manuel Miranda and Andrew Garfield l 

Adorned with the ACLU blue ribbon, Lin-Manuel Miranda looked dapper and humble on the red carpet. Andrew Garfield kept it classic with a black tux and big bow tie.

Worst Dressed, The Women: Dakota Johnson and Scarlett Johansson

Both of these gowns just missed the mark tonight. Dakota Johnson was wearing the wrong color and fabric, and the cut of her gown looked sloppy and old fashioned. Scarlett Johansson didn't look nearly formal enough for the Oscars, and the cut and pattern of her dress seemed to swallow her whole. Also, her dark, studded belt clashed too much with the dress.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
