My personal style

When I started this blog I was planning to have more original content, such as my own drawings and creative ideas. Unfortunately, I get busy with other things, like working and raising an eleven year old son. Today I asked our department secretary if she could take my picture, so I could show off what I'm wearing today. I like to wear black jeans and t-shirts, and today I sporrting a rock chick look. The t-shirt I'm wearing is from Target and has a silver chandelier on it. It goes just right with the two silver chain necklaces I'm wearing. I also have new glasses from Vera Wang.

More artsy prints by Naeem Khan

Although I don't know where I would actually wear such a thing, I love the colorful patterned fabrics of these dresses. They remind me a little bit of folk costumes from Mexico. You can almost imagine Frida Kahlo wearing something like this!

Zac Posen's Luminous Spring 2009 Collection

One of these days it would be so exciting to actually go to fashion week in New York, but in the mean time, I'm glad that you can look at the pictures for free on sites like elle.com and style.com.

I really love this collection. The floaty ruffled dresses are beautiful. I particularly like the make up. So luminous it looks like it might glow in the dark. I would love to know what products they used so I could try to get this wonderful glow. I especially like the shiny purple lipstick. It looks great on the girls with darker skin.

Also love the hairstyles all huge chandelier earrings. It goes great with the rest of the outfit.

Hurray for Zac Posen!

Anna Sui Spring 2009 collection

Anna Sui is becoming a consistent favorite designer of mine, but this latest collection is to die for! She has really outdone herself this time. The colors! The patterns! Oh how I wish I could afford just one! These don't look like something I could easily copy with stuff from my local Walmart and/or thrift stores!

Winner and loser from last night's Project Runway

Jerell wins on Project Runway

Last night Jerell designed the winning outfit on Project Runway. The assignment was to design an avant-garde outfit that represents an astrological sign. I can't remember what sign his outfit was supposed to represent and I can't even guess from looking at it. The winning design is shown above - the one with the long hounds-tooth skirt. It looks Edwardian without the huge flamboyant hat. I like the outfit, but I probably would not have chosen it as the winner. If it were up to me, I would probably have picked Leeann's design, the one with the black hood that draps down and around the dress. It was intended to represent the sign of scorpio. Two people were eliminated from the show - Blayne and Terri. I am a bit sorry to see both of them go. I liked some of the pantsuits that Terri designed on earlier episodes, even though she did not win. Blayne had a fun and lively personality, which I will miss. He designed a very strange outfit that looked like a one-sided clown participating in S&M. He said it was supposed to represent libra, but an unbalanced scale. What was he thinking?

I love Philosphy's Spring 2009 collection!

I absolutely love the Spring 2009 collection from Philosophy. I was not really familiar with this designer, but I would love to have some of these clothes. I love the colors and interesting combinations of patterns. This is something I might actually wear, as opposed to some other designers, like Rodarte's Spring 2009 collection, that look too much like a costume (but very beautiful!).
