There was wine and cheese and fashion students with a sense of accomplishment at the Made in Philadelphia studio. We were done (!!!) we presented our final pieces to our darling instructor and Founder of Made in Philadelphia, Rachel Ford. It was not haute couture but for some it was our first dress. It was my first dress! I was gratified to be able to wear and really love something I made myself. We were all from different walks of life; photographers, public relations, business professionals and nurse (me!) to name a few, surrounded by like minded individuals. More than ever, I found a sense of purpose in my life and inspired by the women I encircled myself with who had the strength to step into the unknown. Walking into the unknown can really put a stop to changes in a person’s life. What I’ve learned: dream a big idea and then take those big ideas and break them down into smaller steps and the big goals suddenly become more manageable. Maybe this dress can be the start of my dream big idea. Thank you Rachel and fashion friends for inspiring me, it was one of my favorite nights in Philly.

Where are your booties from?
beautiful pictures! i bought beyond cozy to get my manicure just as yours :)
Hey Emily, Rachel taught a class at Moore's College and she was my instructor. If you are interested there are no classes that are just starting up! Just Google made in Philadelphia. She has a tumblr page.
Sorry for the late reply! I was on an extended vacation! The booties are from Qupid, I purchase them of Amazon for like $30 bucks. Here is a similar link: http://www.amazon.com/Qupid-MADDOX-07-Fringe-Wedge-Bootie/dp/B009K6W7JW/ref=pd_sbs_shoe_4
I originally wanted the Betsy Johnson Ziah which looks exactly the same but better quality. The sold out in my size so I got the Qupid instead. I would have preferred the Betsy Johnson because I really love the boots, but the Qupid aren't bad!
Hi Barbara! Thank you! The manicure was really fun! Hope yours come out well! Would love to see it!
