Fashion Star

have any of you been watching the show Fashion Star? ok, it's kind of my new favorite... it's a lot like project runway EXCEPT! buyers from H&M, Macy's, and Sak's bid on the looks and you can buy them in stores and online the very next DAY! i love that the competition actually gives designers the chance of a lifetime- to carry their looks in a commercial retail store. here are some of my favorite looks so far in the competition:

kara's high end jacket

kara's low end jacket

nikki's maxi dress

orly's sheath dress

Nzimiro's shorts

one // two // three // four // five // six

Fashion Star is on tonight at 9pm Central. Have you tuned in?

project runway all-stars finale

*Spoiler Alert!*

It's been a tradition for a few years now that my girls and I get together to watch our girly TV shows once a week. A few years back we really got into So You Think You Can Dance, but lately, it's been Project Runway and Project Runway All-Stars. Every Thursday night we'll lounge on my big green couch, eat some popcorn, and watch with anticipation to see who will get the boot.

This season on All-Stars, there were so many great challenges. Here are some of my favorites from the contestants:

Kenley's gelato flavor inspired dress

Michael C's Night at the Opera dress

Kenley's National Flag Challenge Dress

Mondo's Nanette Lepore Fabrics Dress

Anthony's Miss Piggy Dress

Kenley's Season Romper

Jerell's Night at the Opera Dress

When it came down to the final 3, it was clear that Mondo's hard work throughout the season really pushed him over the edge to beat the other contestants. Here are my favorite looks from each final collection:

Austin's Best Look

Michael's Best Look

Mondo's Best Look

I'm so happy for Mondo's win! He really deserved it after being snubbed by Gretchen in Season 8.




Do you think Mondo should have won All-Stars?
