Fabulously Chic. Irresistably Practical.
When I heard the spoilers that the winner of this season of Project Runway would be “unexpected”, and I took a peak at the final collections, I thought the winner would be Andy South.
We spoke with Andy on the topic of his limited palette, Internet buzz that he lifted patterns from a book, concerns about losing his aesthetic during the final collection, and how he has grown as a designer…
I chatted with Project Runway’s Gretchen and found out that she is a smart, articulate businesswoman. Despite a reputation as the show’s “rhymes with witch”, Gretchen is adamant that she only talked about the other designers’ work, never attacking them on a personal level. Gretchen shared her thoughts about the final judging and why she was so happy to have Michael Kors in her corner. Above all else, it seems that Gretchen was a truly savvy reality-show contest.
What I really wanted to ask Gretchen is why does she design clothes that make 5’9″, beautiful, willowy, 20 year-old women look like pear-shaped, middle-aged women in mom jeans? But I couldn’t think of a non-confrontational way to phrase that.
So, this is what I asked her instead…
Lifetime gave me the opportunity to interview Michael Costello, who was the final Project Runway contestant to be eliminated before the finale at Fashion Week. I’m excited to tune in for the Finale, Part II, Thursday, October 28 at 9pm ET/PT.
His elimination is now the subject of great internet debate–why did he have to compete for a spot when he “won” the previous challenge? why was he eliminated over Gretchen, whose collection seemed to be more of a line and have less “wow” to it? and was his breakdown genuine?
How ironic that Christopher Collins, perhaps one of the sweetest, most down-to-earth, mellow, well-adjusted reality show contestant in the whole sordid history of the genre got the auf on what is perhaps the most over-the-top nasty Project Runway episode ever…
These handmade dresses made by Sew Sweet are wonderful! My kids love wearing them.
Not only are they cute but they are extremely versatile as well. They can be worn with or without a t-shirt, turtleneck, jeans or leggings. As your child grows, the dress grows with her to become a swing shirt…

Oh, Casanova, how I will miss you and your antics! Casanova was one of the most inconsistent designers on this season of Project Runway. He veered wildly from looks that Michael Kors called “Dubai Pole Dancer” to looks the judges thought were more suited for a 70 year-old. Between the language barrier, a methodical style […]
If you are like most moms you have probably tried out several strollers before finding the one that works for you. You may even have multiple strollers to meet your needs for different adventures.
I have two children, ages (almost) 5 and 2, and another baby on the way. So, I have a single travel system, a double travel system, single umbrella, double umbrella, and a double jogger, which I rotate depending on where I am going and whether I have one or two kids with me.
Finally there is a stroller that meets our every need. The Britax B-Ready Stroller is highly versatile and easy to use. With its fourteen different combination options it truly is the one stroller that fits all.

For children all over the world, a simple pair of shoes can be a gift of hope.
Soles4Souls first came to my attention when I heard that See Kai Run generously donates to their efforts. See Kai Run makes the kind of shoes that have children jumping for joy and adults wishing they came in their size. With bold colors, a hip, retro sensibility, and high quality design, these flexible-soled leather shoes stand out.
See Kai Run has donated thousands of shoes through Soles4Souls, most recently putting together an emergency shipment of 3,000 shoes for children in Haiti.
