If a genie granted me a wish to repeat any day it would certainly be our wedding. Even though I no longer subscribe to Martha Stewart Weddings or Real Weddings, I still enjoy flipping through the magazines from time to time or browsing through slideshows of the latest gowns. Costume designer Karen Patch worked closely [...]

Every wardrobe needs a little black dress — preferably one that you can dress down during the day with a cardigan and low heels then transform it at night with your favorite clutch and bolder accessories. And that is exactly what Gwenyth Paltrow recommends in this week’s edition of GOOP. I recently subscribed to her [...]

I love these images from Loeffler Randall’s Fall 08 lookbook. The structured pleating reminds me of how I envision Leanne’s future collection from Project Runway. It’s interesting to see how Jessie Randall, owner of Loeffler Randall, carries the same modern yet soft sensibility throughout her Brooklyn home. You will notice that many of the items [...]

On Wednesday night my friend, Kelly, and I put on our brave faces as we entered the yoga studio for a piyo class — a combination between yoga and pilates. My sister’s studio calls it yogalates but I am not entirely sure if it is the same thing.

Some people like the seasons whereas I would be happy if it were in the 90s all year long — that’s why I live in Houston! But I am getting used to these cold holidays in America because it does add to the spirit of Christmas when we visit Jon’s family in Philadelphia. No pool [...]

Last night we got a glimpse of the Project Runway designers’ final collections that will be making their way down the crisp, white runway at Bryant Park. I cannot recall whether I was more excited to see Christian’s “fierce” collection in Season 4 or now Leanne’s wave-inspired garments this season. But last night’s episode made [...]

Cynthia Rowley has just released her Limited Edition for Holiday collection and, boy oh boy, do I think it’s clever. Each piece features laser-cut silhouettes in leather and silk gazar. It is quite interesting to see how these silhouettes soften the look of the dress whereas they seem very structured and strong against bare skin [...]

I’m glad to be back to talk about Project Runway with you. I certainly missed some good episodes while I was in Australia but last night’s runway show was just so-so. The challenge was to create an evening gown inspired by nature — specifically, the plants found at the New York Botanical Garden. And this [...]

This week our Project Runwayers had to create an avant-garde look based on a team member’s Zodiac sign. And who were the teammates? The eight eliminated designers from this season. Oh, the drama…

We all ooohed over boring Joe’s Aries dress but according to the great Mr. Tim Gunn, Daniel was the lead designer. I didn’t [...]
