For the first time in this season of Project Runway, I completely disagree with the judges' decision. Sorry, Nina! The challenge was to create a day-to-night look for Brooke Shields's character on Lipstick Jungle — really cool. Sophisticated, bohemian, and sharp was what I envisioned. Seeing the team dynamics is always entertaining, but the results were polarizing. After the models walked, I knew who the bottom and top looks were. Spoiler on its way . . . I did not expect Kelli to get sent home for an overly-sexy look while Blayne stayed for his tousled styling and gray Bermuda shorts; after Heidi said it looked like someone who had gotten dressed in the dark without a mirror, I thought the decision was made. So yeah, I totally thought Blayne should have gotten the ax. Maybe I'm alone here, you tell me?
Lake Bell was red hot last night at the premiere of In Search of a Midnight Kiss in LA. Red can be overtly sexy, but I like how Lake kept her look tasteful in a slim skirt and silk blouse. Her monochrome, with a punch of blue, silhouette was topped off with stellar suede accessories. Now that's what I call red hot.
Dying to go to New York Fashion Week next month? Here's your chance. I must preface, my mom did this one year while I was working and I hung out with her in the VIP Skybox — it was oh so Fab. And the sandwiches were really good. If you have money to burn, and a burning desire for fashion, consider buying your way in. Starting today, American Express Gold, Platinum, and Centurion cardmembers can choose from a variety of packages to watch the shows from the exclusive American Express Skybox. You can buy tickets online for BCBG, Betsey Johnson, Diesel, Erin Fetherston, Phillip Lim, Vera Wang — the list goes on. You have to buy them in groups of two shows, for $250 a person. There's also "By Invitation Only" packages that let you experience backstage and visit with hair and makeup artists. Proceeds will go to the $500,000 American Express donation to the Council of Fashion Designers of America Vogue Fashion Fund. So not only will you be witnessing fashion, you'll be supporting it. Shows are already selling out so hop to. Who's Spring collection would you like to see?!
Go team go! My obsession with the Olympics has not diminished this week, it's grown. I knew there had to be some style to such amazing events, and I found it. Who said uniforms were blah? Not I. Maybe Ralph Lauren's Opening Ceremony ones were, but how do you feel about the American male swimmers' red, white, and sexy all over swimsuits? Click on for sportif style and the aforementioned swimsuits . . .
