wearing today...outfit catch-up

I committed myself to take pictures of my outfits every day, and have succeeded at about 20% so far. Oops. And funny enough, I just happened to document the (only!) 3 days that I wore jeans!


Confession: I still like Kenley. Yes, she talks too much sometimes, but I love her style, her clothes, and she's been my favorite from the beginning. I wore my headband the day after Kenley wore hers...when she got totally torn apart and snipped at Heidi.

I think this is the last day I'll be able to get away with not wearing a coat. It is getting so chilly. I am not prepared!

back from the blizzard

I need a better camera

Yep, I definitely froze. 20 degrees plus 5 feet of snow were almost unbearable to me--currently I am sitting under a fleece blanket, chilled by the 65 degree air outside.

Unfortunately, my trip added to my recently growing feeling of ennui toward fashion. We spent wayyyy too much money on a stupid rental car (never, ever rent a car, especially if you're under 25), very much draining my finances and making clothing shopping veritably impossible for the foreseeable future. The trip brought to my attention the huge absence of cute cold-weather clothes in my closet, which will be a huge problem if we (most likely) leave Florida this fall. As soon as we flew home, I had to go right back to work-- to my job that requires I wear a swimsuit every single day. On days off like today, I just stay home working on law school stuff, and this combination does not warrant for creative outfits or even a desire to dress well. So I'm just spending my day waiting for Project Runway to come on, trying to fight the desire to order a large pizza, and wearing jeans and a gray t-shirt. Ugh I am just so uninspired!

But anyway, tonight they announce Project Runway's fan favorite. I have been trying to guess who it might be. Based on personality, I'd vote for Chris aka the only contestant with the brass to actually fall asleep during a runway challenge. He is awfully sweet and I am just dying to see him succeed.

I was so happy when he returned from premature elimination, and I'm hoping he is one of the final 3 (even though we already know he got to show a full collection regardless).

Based on design alone, my favorites are a toss-up between Jillian and Christian. Jillian's was my favorite by far from the museum challenge. And who could forget the awesome coat she designed mostly by herself?


Like everyone else, I feel like Christian is the one to beat and I've loved his designs since the first challenge.


I'm anxious to see who finally wins...this has been one of the best seasons yet. Every runway show looked like it was done by a seasoned, bona fide designer. If you want, go check out all four final collections. I am going to have to predict Christian for the win.

life's too short to wear a bad outfit

So, my appearances-wise favorite, beautiful girl Simone had a short reign. Oh well! So what did we like?

What I admired:

Designed by Chris, Rami, & Jillian


What I want to wear:


Designed by Christian, Victorya, & Steven


Blooorgh:


Designed by Carmen, Marion, & Elisa

There are too many designers left for me to start choosing my favorites. Rami, of course, is mega talented but I'm wondering if he's a one-trick pony. Chris surprised me with his great dress, but in the future will they err on the side of too theatrical? "Sweet P" and "Kit Pistol" annoyed me (pretty much anyone with a made-up nickname annoys me), as did Elisa (this season's Angela perhaps?). I am excited to see this season's creations and how they will inspire my wardrobe...I've already picked out a slightly more interesting outfit for tomorrow based on what the designers were wearing!

Who were your favorites?

...aaaaand we're auf!

A few days ago, after an LSAT-&-work-induced trance, I flipped on the tv and noticed an interesting little countdown in the corner of Real Housewives of Orange County: only 2 days til the new season of Project Runway! I had completely forgotten how close the premiere was, and is.

I wonder who will break my heart this year, as Alison did last year. I couldn't get enough of her unique pieces, especially the crochet work she does.

Her personal style is great, too. I'm glad to see that her line, Dahl, is on the up-and-up. You can see it here. Before it launched, I was so anxious to get my hands on her clothes that I bought her first limited-edition dress from her, uh, myspace page. I love it (it has her signature crochet neckline) but haven't had a chance to wear it yet. Hopefully that will change this weekend (we are planning something faaaabulous), and I will be sure to post the dress in all its glory.

Anyway, I am so happy to see the new season starting tonight. It has been too long without Heidi's & Tim's smiling faces, and it will be nice to wash away the memory of last season's season finale (go away icky yuck greasy emo skulls).
