Fashion: Traveling

I don't get why people think that when they travel they have to wear a Juicy or Pink track suit. That's not what they're for people!!!! You can dress comfortably and not be in sweat pants! I was in the O'hare airport today and I swear 99% of the girls there were in sweats! Has anyone ever heard of leggings?!?! I wore leggings, a tank, a belted long sweater, and comfy flats, and I have to say I was very comfortable! I'm not saying you have to wear your school uniform or a red carpet gown, I'm just asking you to respect yourselves a bit.
Tata for now!

Christian Dior; a groomsman

Hey Everyone!!! A couple people from my mom's side of the family were in town, including my uncle. And we were out to dinner, all telling stories and whatnot, when my uncle was talking about how he went to this wedding in the south of France. And guess where it was? In Christian Dior's estate! Obviously he doesn't live there anymore because he's dead. But after he died, a couple bought his mansion, and now they rent it out for weddings! How cool is that? And the guests even stay there! My uncle slept in a room Christian Dior walked in! And of course he doesn't call me as soon as he found out, I learn as he's making conversation at the dinner table! Anyway, I've decided that's where I'm going to have my wedding. You all  have witnessed my decision. I'll talk to you later, I'm going to go research this place! Haha :-)

Secretariat: Costume Design

Hey everyone! So I just went to see the movie Secretariat with my family and it is my new favorite movie. No Joke! And I rarely say that! So if you don't get what I'm saying... GO SEE IT! I'm not kidding would pay someone to see it! Haha just kidding! :-) Anyway, the movie takes place in the late 1960's early 1970's.   The age of housewives going to horse races in big hats, with flowers and bows all over them. But not once in the whole movie did Penny, the housewife who owns Secretariat, wear a big hat! All the other ladies did but she didn't. She always wore little kitten-heels and sling-backs. With a pant suit, or a blazer or blouse and a skirt that went mid-calf. I also noticed she always wore earrings and a necklace, and of course her horse pin. And her hair was always... I'm not sure how to describe how it looked so I'll put some pictures in. It was just amazing how she managed two, separate, busy lives, and be so high-fashion. Well for that time... haha. So I really suggest you see the movie. It's my new favorite!

Project Runway Finale!

Hey Everyone! So the season finale of Project Runway Season 8 was the other night, and guess who won. GRETCHEN! :-( If you read my earlier blog about finding the next Christian Siriano, the runner-up Mondo was so close! Except he doesn't say fierce, of course. Haha :-). But his collection was impeccable, he mixes crazy patterns with color... It was... it was.... FIERCE! That's the perfect world to describe it. I was in love with this little, plaid, cocktail dress, if I had the money I would pay anything for it! Haha. But, of course Mondo doesn't win, Gretchen does. I mean her collection was okay, but it should not have won. It was boho meets Rachel Zoe, Stella McCartney. A lot of african/animal prints that she mixed together, and was great runway wise, but I wouldn't have worn it. Also, she wasn't very nice. She had a big ego after she won the first two challenges and after that it went down hill. I respect her as a designer, but she shouldn't have won. Anyway, Andy came in third, and I thought his collection was good, but it wasn't up to standards looking at his past work on the show. I added a few pictures of Mondo and Gretchen's collections. I'll talk to you later!
XOXO,
