Project Runway 9-24-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers took on the challenge of using old technology as their materials for the week.

Hey guys! First of all, just wanted to say thank you to Blogging Project Runway for adding me to their roster of recap bloggers. I started my blog to help fans catch up on episodes of Runway that they missed. Obviously, I have expanded it into other aspects of fashion. However, I am so happy to be a part of a blog who is totally dedicated to all things Project Runway. Now, onto this weeks episode.

Challenge: The designers got to design whatever they wanted using Finding Neverland on Broadway as their inspiration (Fun fact Peter Pan is played by Melanie Moore who won So You Think You Can Dance season 8).

Thoughts in the Workroom: Ashely's fabric is STUNNING!!! I hope Laurie creates a slip or something under that shirt... (but the shirt design is cute).  I'm very intrigued by what Edmond is doing. Kelly's green and black fabric is also really beautiful in a haunting way (which completely embodies the spirit of this challenge in my opinion).

Guest Judge: Coco Rocha

Ashley: Ashley picked a beautiful white and purple ombre fabric. The fabric was just absolutely stunning and could have been breath taking on the runway. I really loved her idea, however, it did not turn out exactly as she intended. The top was too small for the model in the back and too large in the chest area. This is just one of those situations when things just did not turn out as intended.

Candice: Candice totally took this challenge to heart and it showed.  She made a black leather corset top with a "jacket" and a well constructed black pant. The shirt and the "jacket" were connected. The pants and the top were SO well made. Her whole outfit fit the model like a glove. The "jacket" was made out of a black fabric with red detailing and she used a black and white strip underneath as lining. She explained that the dress was inspired by a line about embracing your dark side. The white in the dress represents the light at the end of the tunnel. The "jacket" was off the shoulder and cinched at the waist. It was so flattering, and stunning, and I just can't say enough good things. Absolutely one of the strongest looks tonight.

Swapnil: This look was pretty good. He made a sculptured top out of a grey checkered material. The material reminded me of business casual. The bottom was a light pink long skirt that looked amazing on the runway! The bottom of this look walked very well. Personally, I would have liked the top to have been a tad shorter. Overall, this is most certainly one of the best looks this week. Swapnil is such a talented designer and his creativity really showed this week.

Edmond: Edmond created a black two piece cigarette pant and crop top. The top had strapping and the whole outfit was perfectly tailored and the fit was amazing. The outfit was hot. However, over the top he put a flouncy eccentric purple vest over the top. I feel like created the vest because the underneath did not really scream Neverland. But, the outfit underneath was very well made.

Lindsey: Lindsey picked a green fabric and made a circular top and a circular, high low bottom. The color was pretty, but the outfit looked safe. I feel like she let the fact that she has been in the bottom get to her a bit. Keep your hopes up girl! You know what your doing.

Laurie: Pasties...?

Kelly: Kelly really pushed herself this week. I loved that she took her immunity as an opportunity to challenge herself and make something out of her comfort zone instead of taking it as a week to sit back. Her green vest was stunning. The fabric was beautiful! Nina was right on target with this look, very editorial. She made a black mini dress underneath to give the look a modern twist and made matching black gloves. She really put her all into this look and you could tell. Her model looked high class and her dress was sophisticated and expensive looking. I think that this look really captured the challenge.

Merline: She made a black gown out of a mesh fabric with some detailing. The top featured strapping and sleeve with a tight fit and a dramatic shoulder. I really liked this look. I thought that it was very fairytale despite it being all black. Something about the fabric just fit right in with Neverland. The dress was very well fitting as were the sleeves.

That is everything for this week! Comment below and let me know what your favorite look was this week!

  1. I loved Merline's and thought Laurie's was one of the worst things to ever walk the runway on PR.

Best Fit: How to Start Your Fitness Journey

"Best Fit" Let's start our fitness journey! Incorporating fitness into your daily life is difficult. Life is full of wonderful things to do and it can be hard to prioritize being healthy. Today we are going to jump right in and start incorporating fitness into our daily lives.  *Disclaimer: I am neither a fitness expert nor a doctor.

Pick a time of day for your workout: Picking a time of day is a great first step in starting a healthier lifestyle.

CEO Is a Woman: Fall Work Outfit Ideas

CEO Is a Woman Fall Work Outfit Ideas Hey Fashionistas! I think many of us can agree that fall is one of the best seasons for fashion. Below are a few fall outfit ideas for a work week. Every office has their own dress code, and getting dress coded at work is something to avoid. All of the below outfits are meant as inspiration and may be altered to fit your personal style and company's preferences.  Monday You can't go wrong supporting your team...especially if your team is the Eagles! Bring a pop of color to the office after a big win with a matching set in your teams colors. This is one of my favorite ways to start off a fall work week. Tuesday  Not ready to give up your summer dresses? Me neither. Pair a darker colored summer dress with sweater and you are ready for a fall day at the office. Add a pair of stockings on a colder day for warmth. Wednesday Big meeting day? You can never go wrong with stripes and a tailored jacket. Add a pair of kne
