Easyfashion blog, Thailand street style




Check out the recent postings from Thailand on the Easyfashion blog. Photos taken by "Fred the mole" are adorable! There are some beautiful children in Thailand!

Project Runway Episode 5



I missed the first half of last nights show, but the second half is usually more interesting anyway. Their assignment was to design an outfit for Brooke Shield's character to wear on the TV show Lipstick jungle, and Brooke Shields was a guest judge. Here are photos of the first and second place outfits. The one with the floral top was the winner. If I was a judge, I probably would have given the other one first place and the floral top second.

The Gap is back!


I remember about 15 years ago when all my college students loved the Gap. However, in recent years, students said that Gap clothes had become boring and expensive. I would have to agree. But look at them now! The fall collection is wonderful and reasonably priced! They've even got that plaid look that Gucci is rocking right now. Hurray for designer Patrick Robinson for bringing back the Gap. By the way, if you don't know who Patrick is, check him out. Although he is in his forties, he is very handsome and young looking.

Love Gucci fall collection




Gucci's latest collection is similar to my typical style - sort of a sophisticated rocker chick in pants. Since I usually wear black pants, I would like to try mixing and matching plaids like they do, with non-traditional shapes. As usual, if i want something that looks like the fashion runways, I'll probably have to make it myself.

Where can I get opera length gloves?


I might look out of place in this small town, but I wouldn't mind trying some of those opera length gloves like I've been seeing in the fashion magazines. I noticed that Vogue patterns has some long gloves, so maybe I'll attempt to make some.

Looking to Thakoon for Fall inspiration






I've been thinking about trying to make some work clothes for fall, and I like Thakoon's fall collection. I'm not a great sew-er, but Maybe I could find some patterns and fabric to give me a similar look. I wonder where i could get a less-expensive-but-similar version of the shoes?
