Bolognese and Cannoli Cake for MAR10 Day

For the last few years, we’ve really looked forward to celebrating MAR10 Day on March 10th. I usually make something Italian in honor of everyone’s favorite plumber…this year, it was bolognese, with a cannoli cake for dessert. I also found some Mario-themed Bubly water, which was an extra special treat!

I love these whimsical celebrations!

Mani Monday

I’m still having fun playing with the Holo Taco “Super Magnet,” and comparing its effects to those of the traditional wand. This week, I used “Off the Grid” on the first two nails, setting the thumbnail with the wand and the index finger with the super magnet. I used “Feeling Sparks” on the other three nails, with the wand’s cat eye on the ring fingernail and the super magnet on either side. I still can’t get over how it actually looks like different colors of polish…the magnets are so cool!!!

Sartorial Saturday–A Fresh Color Styling of a Custom Dirndl for Mary Blair March

Last year, I debuted my custom dirndl from Rare Dirndl just in time for Mary Blair March. This year, I’m wearing it with a lovely blue Vixen by Micheline Pitt Vacation Blouse, inspired by the bold color styling of Mary Blair herself! The dirndl was already bright and cheerful, but this extra pop of color makes it’s especially vibrant!!!

I accessorized with a an Erstwilder brooch worn as a necklace and a glittery stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles, plus butterfly earrings that are perfect with the butterfly print on the skirt of the dress:

I can’t think of a better Mary Blair March look!

I have another idea for a different styling of this dirndl that I’m hoping to wear before the month is over!
