My fantasy hair

I always wish I had thick long luxurious hair instead of my actual hair which is extremely short, thin and fine. On the TV show Shear Genius, Wednesday nights at 10pm on Bravo network, the stylit were challenged to creat a hairstyle that used a lot of color. I wish I was in a rock band or something like that. If I did, I would like to have a wig like the top two looks shown here.

Project Runway Episode 3

Kenley won this week's challenge, which was to design a going-out outfit inspired by the sights of New York at night. Kenley is the cute girl who looks like a forties pinup doll. I love the colors of the dress but am not wild about the shape. I actually prefer Terry's pants suit, which was the second place outfit. I was not that impressed with most of the other dresses. Although I love the show, I think that some of the designers this season are somewhat irritating. There is one woman one always talks about how she only wants to design leather, rock-and-roll looks, and her voice sounds extremely whiny. Suade seems like a pleasant-enough chap, but I'm already tired of him talking about himself in the third person. It's already starting to seem like a gimmick. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next week.

New Eyeglasses?

Yesterday I went to Walmart to get an eye exam and found that my prescription has changed a bit. I'm trying to decide if I want to spend money on some new frames. I tried some on at Walmart, but they weren't up to my style standards, so I've been searching the internet for some frames I really like. The ones I like the best are from Christian Dior. These pictures are from bestbuyeyeglasses.com.

The Street Walker has the best picture!

The Street Walker is a street fashion blog in Israel. This picture is the most beautiful that I have seen lately!

Great late summer/early fall work outfit.

Here's an outfit I really like at a price i can afford. I read that its from the new collsboration between Richard Chai and Target, and costs about $90 for the whole outfit. It's great to find an outfit I like at a price I am willing to pay. I hope that it will be available at Target.com, because I am not able to get to a Target that often.

Going back to school clothes from Vogue patterns

I live in a small, rural town in Appalachian Ohio where the shopping opportunities are pretty limited. I am also extremely long waisted and so I have trouble finding blouses and jackets that are long enough for me. Although I'm not a great sewer, I have started to sew more of my clothes because I have trouble finding the stuff I want in the stores. Here is a pattern from Vogue that is very similar to my typical work style. It looks pretty difficult, but it might be worth trying in order to get the look I want. The other problem is where to get the fabric I want!

Marie Lau Jewelry designs

Here is something really clever that I saw on the Style Bubble blog. Maria Lau is a UK based designer who uses really interesting and eclectic materials. I was inspired to try some of these myself. The pouf-y necklace out of pantyhose is really clever!
