Project Runway Season 11 Final Review!!!!

Another season of Project Runway has come to an end! I am not going to reveal the winner in case you have yet to see the episode, however, I will say that I am 100% happy with who won! It was a crazy season with the teams thing but it was still a good one....and I can not wait for next season! As per usual, these are all my own opinions and they do not necessarily correspond with the judges critiques.

Challenge: Show Final Collections at Fashion Week
Teams: None

Patricia: The first thing that I want to say about this collection is that it was very interesting and looked like she really put a lot of hard work into it and honestly, that is a huge plus. I have not been a huge Patricia fan this season but I really do think that she put forth a great collection! I think that she was proud of her work and that really came through to the audience. My favorite piece in her collection was the red velvet cold shoulder shirt!! It was the perfect mix of runway and practicality! I also loved the pants that she made to go with it. I know that the judges thought this look was a bit artsy but I really liked that. Another great look of hers was the yellow and black dress with the red shoulders! I loved this pattern eventhough yellow is my least favorite color. This dress was stunning and I would deff wear that if I needed a long dress with sleves. She really showed her ability on that dress. Another piece that I loved was the scarf in the first look. I personally am not much of a scarf wearer but I think that it would be a great staple piece in a lot of girls wordromes! Now, onto the pieces that I did not like so much. All of the items made out of the blue fabric with the sequins. I know that it was hand made and unique but from my side of the TV, the fabric looked like tisue paper with tin foil. It just looked a bit to crafty to me. Another thing that bugged me about this collection was that eventhough it was all Native American inspired, it was not cohesive. Sure, she had some things that tied together but it really looked like the closet of a Native American fashionista. And it wac cool, but on the runway, a bit more cohesion is nice. Overall, I think that Patrica put her best foot foward and made some grest clothing.

Stanly: Oh boy. I do not even know where to start with this one. Honey, you had four months to make a collection and you were still making full garments on the eve of the runway? Come on. If that is not slacking I do not know what is. Honestly, this shocked me about Stanly. Throught the competiton, he was such a drill sargent with his team members but when left to his own devices, he did not practice what he preached. I really do not think that the way he approached this final was professional. The final collection on Project Runway can make or break a designer's career, I would hope that the contestants take it a bit more seriously than he did. Unfortunately, I do not think that even the pieces that he did put time into looked fabulous. Again, a bit suprising as he had some fabulous work throught the season. My least favorite garment BY FAR was the sack dress that he stuffed into the models bra last minet. This was not a dress. It was material to cover up a model because he did not have all of his work done. Seriously? His dresses were all a tad matronly except for the final gown. Also, that heavy studding just looked like buisness gone wrong. Although I was under impressed with Stanly's final output, there were still a few redeeming looks. I know that the judges criticized his final gown but I actually liked it. I thought that it had a vintage feel as opposed to the matrenly feel that dominated his collection. I was also a fan of the loose leather jacket. I did not know how to feel about this at first but I thought that the consept of a flowy leather jacket as opposed to the typical hard structured one was interesting.

Michelle: To me, this was the stand out collection of the season...or of the last two regular seasons... I love Michelle's point of view and her fierceless ability to show it off. Its hard for me to pick a favorite here because I really liked them all. Her knitting ability is something that we did not see during the show but the bleeding heart sweater and the wolf sweater were outstanding! Id buy them both in a heart beat! I also loved the long shirt jacket thing with the tan body and brown sleves! Another incredible look was her opening look. This dress was edgy yet feminine all together! Again, I would deff snap this one up. Her light brown dress with the leather shoulder pieces and the black tights was another favorite. I am sure that any girl would feel great walking around in it! Michelle's consept for the collection gave her a very strong point to work from. In addition, it really pulled the collection together in a sophisticated way. A lot of the time on Runway, the collection is pulled together by an accessory or a color scheme. However, having the concept be so prevalent in the clothing that it pulls the whole thing together is a sophistication that is way above the usual standard. I loved that about Michelle and her collection. Her ability to think in her work shows a lot of promise for he as a future designer. Overall, Michelle's collection was my favorite no doubt and it really lived up to my expectations.

And that wraps up my Project Runway Season 11 reviews!!! I hope that you guys loved this season as much as I did!! I do not believe that they are airing season 12 this summer. However, you  can catch Heidi Klum every week as she branches out her judging to Americas Got Talent!! Check back whenever they air season 12 for more reviews!!

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 wh...

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 re...
