P What? P Run!!

Leanne won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no idea why anyone could ever think her line was boring. It was well-crafted, showed something that had really never been shown before, and didn't rely on anything but itself to stand out.

I'm just hoping for a miraculous turnaround time so that I can buy a Leanimal dress for prom (sigh...I wish...)

Feather Fascination

While watching this past week's episode of Project Runway, I noticed a fashionable hair accessory on one of the more fascinating designers, Kenley. Some may love her and some may hate her, but I often find myself on the fence. Her own fashion often fascinates me, and I often try to take accessory tips from her, but the clothes she makes are not always within my taste. She is a great designer though, even with her personal notes (such as the ever-famous Kenley laugh) which may or may not have been a figment of Bravo's editing team.

The accessory that caught my eye was Kenley's feather fascinator. Fascinators, I should say. She wore one in the opening sequence, where Heidi brought out the bedazzled drag queens...


...and another one in the final portion, where the judges critique the designs.


Though feather hair accessories have been bouncing around for a little bit, I never found myself drawn to them until now. I'm trying to expand my accessories range, currently, to spice up my neutral wardrobe, and I'm thinking about purchasing a feather hair accessory of my own. What do you guys think?

If I were to purchase one, it would most likely be from Urban Outfitters. Here are a couple of selections, each around $18.00.

Angela Keslar's Rosettes

Yesterday I spent a large portion of my day watching Project Runway reruns. Though these were from Season 1, where I fell in love with all of Kara Saun's designs, I started thinking back to a couple of the old designers. As you may remember, my own style incorporates a lot of girly details, including fabric flowers. So, it seemed appropriate that Angela Keslar, a designer from the 3rd season of Project Runway, came to my mind. She was one of the more "eccentric" designers, and her trademark was a fabric rosette.


While I was browsing the Shopbop sale later that day, I came upon this necklace and pair of earrings, which look scarily like Angela's rosettes. They're from Malababa; the necklace is on sale for $47.50 and the earrings are on sale for $32.50.



Which led me to wonder...maybe Angela was onto something with her rosette idea? She may have been a little bit different from the other designers, but maybe the simple sewing up of fabric wasn't such a bad idea. I'm still unsure, though it seems like fabric flowers is a bit of a mainstream idea and it's a trend now just because of the desire to make your clothes different and slightly kitschy. In addition, I personally am not a huge fan of her specific rosettes, namely the type of rosettes made by taking a circle of fabric and sewing it all up in the center. This may sound prissy but I prefer more refined rosettes, even if my overall look is supposed to be kitschy.
