Irina, the New Winner of Project Runway!

I like all the collections. However, the jury was right, Irina's collection was very well put together and very well thought out. Her last collection was a lot more edgy than what she showed during the show. I was quite impressed. Congratulations to Irina, the new Project Runway winner! I look forward to seeing her new collections.

New Trend Alert - Cardigans

Cardigans are in style this year. Especially long and large ones. We saw some nice ones on the Project Runway final episode yesterday designed by Irina and Althea.

Cardigans are more playful this year. We see different styles this year. Best way to pair a nice cardigan is leggings and a simple top.

I picked out some great ones online.

2- This black one, the "Open Draped Cardigan", is also sold at Neiman Marcus. It has a fabulous velour shawl collar and a curved hemline, longer at the sides. It's by Juicy Couture. It's sold for $228.

3- This white one, the "Belted Cardigan Wrap", is sold at Smartbargains. It's a silk and cashmere-blend knit belted wrap cardigan from BCBGMAXAZRIA. It is sold for $99.99.

Big One-Day Sale at Macy's!

There's a big one-day sale at Macy's tomorrow, previewing today.

One Day Sale at macys.com. Valid 11-17-2009 through 11-18-2009

Here are some great deals that I have come across:

These BCBG boots are on sale for $118.99. They will go great with leggins, dresses, and skinny jeans. They come in black and taupe. I love the taupe color.

Check out this creschent-shaped hobo by Calvin Klein on sale for $110.99. It comes in burgundy and shale colors.

And check out this sweater dress by DKNYC on sale for $84.99. A definite must for the season. Sweater dresses go really well with long boots.

Who do you think is going to win the Project Runway?

The season finale is going to Air next Thursday. The three remaining are Irina, Athea, and Carol Hannah. After watching the last episode, Finale Part 1, I am leaning towards Carol Hannah. Although Irina is a big competition too. I like Carol Hannah, because her dresses look very chic, well put together, and clean cut. Irina has a luxury taste, I think she is very good at making something look very expensive. Althea is also good, she has good sense of style, I think style wise I feel closest to her, but she can be inconsistent.

A Brand Profile: Brooklyn Bodkin

I wanted to introduce this brand this time around, because I admire the fact that this clothing line is totally organic. Bodkin originated as a collaboration between designers Eviana Hartman and Samantha Pleet. Eviana, the head creator and the head designer, used to write about fashion for the Washington Post. The pair began by conducting a weekend experiment in reworking old leather jackets into bags. Their successful designs led them to expand into sustainable ready-to-wear and the creation of the Bodkin Brooklyn brand. The Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation Awards selected label Bodkin Brooklyn to receive the Sustainable Design award this year. Each piece is manufactured in the U.S. and mindfully sourced with such materials as organic cotton, organic wool, artisanal dyes, recycled polyester, closed-loop cellulosic fibers, and deadstock fabric. Brooklyn Bodkin is sold at these stores online: www.lagarconne.com, www.domahoka.com
www.bonadrag.com, and www.kindboutique.com. You can find it also at these locations listed on their website.
