Valentine's Day Ball: Taylor's Love Story

The Fantastic Jon

Jenn & Frank, Brian & Scott

This past weekend I attended a charity fundraiser with my dear friend Jon, who was the perfect Valentine; he looked dashing in his dapper tuxedo. 

This sweet pink dress reminded me of the adorable Taylor Swift's young, demure style, which was the perfect inspiration for this look. Spiral curls are a Taylor must so I busted out my trusty curling wand. This tool is great and east to use, but you have to be patient because it's rather time consuming to finish the entire look.

Our fabulous friends, Jenn & Frank, and Brian & Scott brought their black-tie swagger for a night of charity, dinner, dancing & great times.   

JaneSquared wishes you a very Happy Valentine's Day filled with your own Love Story. ;)

All Things Pencil

School is back with a vengeance and in honor of Fall I thought it was fitting to discuss one of my favorite topics - Pencils.

Pencil Review
Remember when you were in class and you had that terrible eraser that would smudge on a scantron test and get all over your hand? That was legitimately the worst! Over the years I've had tested my share of pencils and have discovered a wonderful utensil - the infamous Ticonderoga. This pencil is amazing. No smudging and it never goes out of style. To this day, I still turn to my trusty pencil for any important meeting.
