Project Runway 10-8-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers had to create an outfit tailored to the specific styles of the JustFab customer. The winning designer's look is being sold on JustFab.com

Hey guys! Welcome to this week's Project Runway Recap Review. I just wanted to start out by saying that I absolutely love this challenge! The Project Runway Crew has worked so hard to bring us fans this amazing show for fourteen seasons. Without the crew, there would be no Project Runway. The crew 100% deserves some designer love! I think the annual "real women" challenge is so important. Project Runway is a platform for the designers to put their work out there. The "real women" challenge allows fans/customers with all different body types to see how the designer's aesthetics might look on them.

Challenge: The designers will be treating members of the Project Runway Crew to a custom outfit.

Thoughts In The Workroom: Raincoat? Unique. The outfit Ashley is wearing is so cute. This challenge is all about compromise. I am a bit confused about Candice's look. Kelly, I am expecting this to be amazing!

Guest Judge: Constance Zimmer, Shiri Appleby

Ashley: Ashley created a purple and patterned peplum top. The top featured a sweetheart neckline and cap sleeves. The top was all purple except for the peplum part which was a pink and white and purple pattern. The bottom was a pencil skirt with a little slit made out of the pattern. I agree with the judges that this look was filled with a lot of color. However, I think that it would have been fine if she had a natural color jacket to dim it down a bit. I also agree that the girl looked a bit short. Maybe a different shoe or a few inches off the skirt would have helped? The judges really did not love this look. Ashley felt the pressure this week.

Swapnil: Swapnil was in a tough situation this week. He ended up creating a light blue, long sleeve top with a V-neckline and a cape. He made a neoprene black skirt on the bottom. He finished off the look with a belt for her waist.  Was it 100% Swapnil? No.  With that said, I do not think that his model looked bad. I felt like after the first fitting, his model was put off by the experience and nether of them were very open to compromise. This was not Swapnil's challenge, which was a shame because the judges have been hard on him and he could have used a WOW moment this week.

Merline: Merline made a leather, tight skirt on the bottom. On the top, she had a black shirt with a grey vest with black detailing. This was probably the best overall makeover. Her model looked fabulous! Her new hair matched the rocker look perfectly. The judges loved this look and they were right. I agree with the comment that the vest really made the look. Merline really needed a WOW moment this week, and she made that happen.

Kelly: Kelly totally lived up to her standards. I thought last week's looks was my favorite all season, but this may have topped it. Kelly created an eggplant leather overall with a cute white tank top and a matching leather vest. It was so her model's style, yet still very Kelly. The model looked amazing and comfortable. Plus, this look could be worn by anyone...which is always a bonus. Kelly is on a very strong streak. I know I said something similar last week...but I am feeling like fashion week is in her future!

Candice: Candice's look was on the costume side. The top was a black leather halter with a sweetheart neckline and blue detailing. The bottom was a matching black leather, tight skirt. It also looked like she created a sheer black cape.  The judges thought that this look was cheap and they questioned where the model would actually wear it. I felt that this look was very labored. Candice usually does not have a problem with construction, so that was a bit surprising.

Edmond: Edmond made a dramatic raincoat with a dress underneath. The top was a hand woven design through a grey, netted fabric. The skirt portion of the dress was black, had a flowy detail on the front and exposed zipper on the back. His model looked amazing. She looked very NYC.  She also could have won the dress as a stand alone on a day that it was not raining (or the jacket with a different outfit). On that note, Heidi said that the two pieces clashed. I could see that, but hey, sometimes you just need a good rain jacket.  Edmond has been going strong in this competition. I think that he is well on his way to fashion week.

I have a pretty good idea of who is going to fashion week this season. Comment down below and let me know who you think those three designers are going to be.

Project Runway 10-15-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers gave members of the Project Runway crew a makeover. Hey guys! Welcome to this week's Project Runway Recap Review! We are getting closer and closer to fashion week each episode and the competition is getting tight. At this point, any of the designers could go home. Last week was packed with drama...but...its a new week, and a fresh slate, so lets get started. Challenge: The five remaining designers will make an outfit inspired by the New York City bridges (Queensborough, Brooklyn, Manhattan). The designers were assigned a bridge from the black bag of doom. Each designer created a textile with a 3-D printer that they had to incorporate into their garment. This is an Avant Garde challenge. Thoughts In The Workroom:  I'm not so sure what I think about 3-D printers...comment down below and let me know what you think about them (in general, not just in fashion). Candice made a good choice not using black again this week. Designers who

The Prom Problem: Underwear (Clean)

Previously on the Prom Problem:  I talked about Bra's for Prom. All the special types that may be the best option for your dress. This Week: I thought that it would only be natural to talk about Underwear next. Underwear lines plague everyone at some point but prom is the last place that you want them to show up.Today we will be solving those nasty underwear lines.  I know that everyone has different opinions about sharing underwear secrets online because it is private I guess for some people, but honestly, I think that it is okay as long as your not doing anything inappropriate. I am just saying this to let you guys know that this post is totally clean so if your thinking "oh my gosh what is she going to show us?" Don't worry about it...you can keep reading. On that note, lets take a look at a few solutions to The Underwear Problem. Solution 1: Thongs I am going to talk about thongs first because I think that they are the most common solution for panty lines.

Special Post- Inner Beauty- The NJ Sharing Network

Hey guys! I have always intended for this blog to be totally dedicated to beauty and fashion, however, this post is going to be a bit different. Well, I mean, it does kind of fit because all the beauty on the outside does not matter if you are not a beautiful person on the inside (which I am sure that all of you are). Recently, my little sister (Linda) had a kidney transplant. She received her new kidney from an organization called the NJ Sharing Network. The NJ Sharing Network is an organization which connects donor families with recipients. I wanted to help give back to the organization that gave my little sister so much...so I created a team for their annual 5K run. My team is called Linda's Home Team. Last year, my team raised around $3000 dollars for the NJ Sharing Network. This year, we are hoping to surpass that. It would mean the world to me if you guys would follow the link below to my page and give a donation to my team. Every penny counts. I love all of my readers so m
