It All Starts Here...

Barely 10 days into the school year and things are already getting  crazy!  Keep coming back here because I will have tons of posting info! Fall fashion, style synopsis, making my first mini-collection, and tons of anecdotes and updates on my senior year!

This semester I am taking a class that focuses on developing my portfolio, and one of our first assignments is to develop our logos.  I'm planning to go with the second one!

Thought of the Week


"Emotionlessly she kissed me in the vineyard and walked off down the row. We turned at a dozen paces, for love is a duel, and looked at each other for the last time."

Project Runway Rock

OK, let's get down to business.
Serena is already gone! So sad, but now I have deemed Bert my new fave.

Likes:
LOVED Bert's look! Definitely glad that he won, and is already actively listening to the judges.

Anthony is my other fave: "I rock one now". Quote of the evening.

You know the little blip of the runway model walking that they cut to right before and after commercials? Did anyone else think that white skirt looked like April's diaper shorts from last season?

Dislikes:
Designers already saying they are happy with their work given the restraints on time, resources, etc.  This is Project Runway, after all. Those constraints are now a fact of life.

Kathleen: "That's just not good enough" (on being in the middle safe group).  I had a Gretchen flashback, not gonna lie.

Julie saying she is on a learning curve with the sewing...how are you going to say that sitting next to Anya, who has supposedly only been sewing for 4 months?

And Anya...I have some thoughts but I'm keeping them to myself for the time being.

However, this is only the first episode, so all the designers have room to change my mind.

Overall, I'm very excited for this season!

Latest Project

 This week I have been ripping up old t-shirts and creating a new sleep ensemble.  Pretty ironic, seeing as how on last night's PR they were using their sleepwear to create a day ensemble!  It's almost done! Just need to do some final fit tweaking, and get some lace to trim the raw edges.
And I suppose I will be making some matching bloomers, seeing as how this is a lot shorter when on an actual body!

Then, I've been saving my scraps to do some braiding and headbands as well! Eco chic indeed!
