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.

Is The Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment Worth the Hype?

 Hey Fashionista's! Today we are going to talk all about Hailey Bieber's Rhode Skincare line. This is not sponsored, I just really wanted to talk about these products. This semester in my public speaking class, I taught a unit all about persuasive speaking. My goal was to make the topic of persuasive speaking more relatable by showing how prevalent it is in our modern world. What was the product I brought in to show the power of persuasive speaking in the "influencer era"? You bet it was the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment. If you are a longtime reader, you know I rarely talk about skin care. Actually, I have probably never talked about skin care. That's because I don't really know what to say. I don't ever buy the trendy products because I am allergic to so many of them and if not, they make me break out. BUT Hailey Bieber got me- talk about effective persuasive speaking. I watched a few videos on YouTube of her using the products and talking about their ing...

June Favorites!!

Hey guys!! Another fabulous month has passed and what a month it has been! June was very stressful for me but also the biggest relif because it was the end of school and training for the day camp that I worked at. So I have a good amount of favorites for the month of June so I am going to go on and get into it. 1.) My  first favorite of the month is my Maybeleen concealer stick. I decided to stray from my Almay holy grail concealer and try out a more full coverage concealer because I was not getting a whole lot of sleep due to school so I had lovely dark circles. I have been using this product every day and kind of have a love hate relationship with it but decided to include it. Lets start with the pros. I love that it makes my undereyes glow and wakes me up a bit. I also love the coverage that it gives. NO dark circles will be seen when you use this product. I also really like the texture because it is really creamy and easy to apply. Now for the cons. I am pretty tan and so I b...
