Project Runway is back for season 5!

Yay! A new season of Project Runway has started! This show is soooooo much of an inspiration to me! What's interesting is that it's much more fun to design with some boundaries than to just get what you want to do what you want. It makes me wanna go to the attic and find some old clothes to make some cool new clothes from.

Back the the subject, here are the looks form episodes 1 and 2, courtesy of Blogging Project Runway:

Cool tapes

When designer get their hands on something, they can make it really great. It can be anything, even tapes.

Gucci Resort 2009

Gucci Resort 2009 is not half as cool as Badgley Mischka, but there are some really nice etno prints.


Nice, but this looks a bit like a skirt worn on the neck.

Could this dress be any more unflattering?

That's better.


This is a really cool way to wear prints without getting too colorful.

To the formals, now. I like them a lot. Well, actually, my inner child does, but I guess if you have a formal occasion to attend while on holidays, these looks are very young, fresh and holiday-suited.

Badgley Mischka Resort 2009

I can't wait for my vacation in Spain and while waiting, I take great pleasure at watching resort collections. Today: Badgley Mischka. I absolutely love the bold, colorful palette. It's really colorful, but not in a childish way. Very wearable.

New layout!

I'm still looking for a nice new layout for this blog, the more artistic, the better. Today, I have found three layouts I really like.

First, "Splash" by xtasy:


Almost what I want. Too bad it doesn't work.

Second, "Spring" by Blogger-Whore:

Really cool but doesn't really work vertically.

Finally, "Color pencils" by J.Aghili, which I will be using for now.

A good designer is hard to find

I don't get the high fashion thing and can't name a single designer that I'd really like. Maybe I look at it from the wrong perspective.

Today, I ran across Jayson Brunsdon's stuff. Nice dresses, but...

...these are a bit childish...

... these are a bit boring ...


... and these are really nice, but that's nothing new and nothing special.

Color blocks

As you'll soon notice, I love bright bold colors. It's not a really good thing, as they look good on children and African women, and not on strawberry blondes like me, but... wait a minute, so what? You're only young once, I'm young and I don't care if sometimes, I don't wear the most becoming colors for me. Maybe when I'm older. Right now, I'm proclaiming my love for colors and color blocks.

Time for pictures. First, two dresses from FabSugar:


And now, some house stuff, found and collected by CasaSugar:
