Project Runway is back!

I am so excited that Project Runway is back with a new season. I can't wait to see all the great designs and all the bad ones too. It is hands down one of my favorite shows. In addition to the great clothes and ideas...I do love me some Tim Gunn! Make it work!


I always wonder where I can buy stuff from my favorites later. I saw some stuff from Irina on HSN, but not exactly what I was looking for. Maybe I will find some of the knits she did on the show soon.



I also liked some of the clothes Michael Costello & Mondo Guerra did. They did a show with Christopher Collins and I LOVED his stuff too! You can see some looks here.


If anyone knows where I can find stuff from other Project Runway favorites let me know.

Photo Fun







I went to a baby shower this past weekend and decided to play photographer. I hope that mommy-to-be likes the photos once she sees them. I think she looks amazing and she is going to be a great mom...to both her girls. Twins!


I have been feeling more like my old self these days, so I hope to have some more posts up soon. I am starting to get the hang of functioning on minimal sleep. Oh the joys of being a new mom. =)

For my footsies!

I dream of shoes lately, but since my feet have been so swollen due to my pregnancy most shoes have been a no go. I still want to encourage everyone else to shoe shop, so that I can live vicariously through you.

A Espadrille Wedge by Michael Kors $140.00

A colorful shoe. This one is the Tamandy by Jessica Simpson $89.00

A sexy high heel like the Darie at ALDO for $135.00


Now I know I won't be able to wear these for a while, but I need to get at least one pair for my sanity! =)


Things I Love for April.


A pair or two of flirty flats. As a soon to be mommy I think I will see many flats in my near future. These happen to be at Payless for about $23.00





Love Lace for Spring time! I think if you try a top or a skirt you will see how it changes up a look. Try going for a larger more unique pattern instead of the thin stretch lace fabric you might find at department stores. Try your luck at the thrift stores.


Try something different like this cool nail cuff bracelet. The point is to add something different to your outfit. I like accessories that stand out from my regular outfit.




Here is a picture of a ring that may look familiar to you from QVC.com I love it because its sterling silver and the great oval shape.

I Have Nails!

For as long as I can remember I have been a nail biter. I can only remember a few times that I "let my nails grow" which means I had on fake nails so I couldn't bite my own. Eventually after having the acrylic nails on my nails would kind of grow under them. They grew really thin and the when I did have what I called a "longer nail" I would bite it off in about 3 days tops. They were so thin they would bend and crack or break, so that was my easy excuse to bite it (gross and sad...I know).




Anyways, so for whatever reason I noticed I haven't been biting my nails and decided to start using a treatment I bought a while back when I swore I wasn't going to bite them anymore. It's a nail solution from AVON called NAIL EXPERTS strong results.




I like to think that most people never really noticed my tiny nails because my fingers are small anyway, but many of my closest friends and family members have all given me compliments on how great my nails look! My sister-in-law even thought I had on acrylic nails =) It says it costs $6.50, but when I bought it from my Avon girl I think it was on sale for about $2.99 or something close to that. Avon always has sales on their stuff, so it is really inexpensive to try it out.




The only problem now is that nail polish has become a new obsession!

Belts, Belts, Belts!

So for Spring I want to get some belts to help slim down my tummy for when the baby is finally born. I was having trouble finding belts for my body type and this is what I learned:





Lean Frames: Medium Belts are good. If you are more on the narrow side then place them at the hip area to give more of a curve to the body.





Petite Body: Skinny belts look great on you! Wrap it around the smallest part of your waist it adds some height too.





Curvy Girls: Me! Medium belts are good, but be careful not to go too thicmk because then it can just look bulky. The point is to enhance the waistline.
