Jillian's Fall Collection

Jillian Lewis has been very very busy since Bryant Park. Take a look at her fall collection. I have to say, I love her... but I love her collection even more. Its got more of her signature ruffle coats and knitwear, which are always gorgeous. 

The first coat is a little bit shiny, and the dresses aren't fabulous. In fact, the cream one looks annoyingly similar to the dress that she wore to the finale. Jillian is actually having quite a successful career. She's busily working away on a Spring 2009 Ready To Wear collection, as well as several private client orders. 

Well, its 3:15 in the afternoon, so I really do need to change out of my PJs.

Yours yawningly,

Hannah

In or Out? Eva Longoria

Lets look at this....

... massive lace doily. I suppose you could argue that "Lady at Lunch" can be chic, and sometimes, god forbid, appropriate. But, isn't this taking it a bit far? I mean, really, Eva, the point of lady at lunch is to look like the lady, not what she puts her tea on. It doesn't even look good on the model!

It really does look antique, and not just antique lace. I say, put it back in your grandmothers trunk and never let it see the light of day again.

3...2...1.... and fashion off

Guess what show has been on all day... and guess what show I've been watching all day? RIGHT! PROJECT RUNWAY. The new season starts in exactly 13 minutes. and I'm freaking. I'll be back tonight or tomorrow to tell you all what I think of the latest hot messes. See you there!

Yours Excitedly,

Hannah

In or Out? Heidi Klum

I have seen this little pink dress so many times on all the Project Runway ads, so lets chat. Opinions people....

Here we go, the thing is... I kind of like the dress, just not in fuchsia, and not on Heidi. Secondly, on the show, Heidi is always the one who goes, "Vell doesn't eet look like eet needs a good steam?" Well Heidi... your dress DOES need a good steam, especially in that last picture, its all puckered and wrinkled. But, I do like this dress, as it looked on the runway. Its from Alexander McQueen's Spring RTW collection.

In this color, on this model, its fabulous. Its a very modern, structured dress. Kind of to the point of futuristic, which is something I love. Also that belt is so interesting, especially compared to Heidi's black ribbon. You can view a close up of the belt here -->(image) 

Apparently, Heidi has a new stylist, Maryam Malakpour. So she's not of to a good start in my opinion. She got a good dress but not for her client.  One of Maryam's other clients is Mick Jagger, so this should be interesting.

Yours nervously,

Hannah

Batty Johnson

Betsey, Betsey, Betsey. You just don't stop do you?? She is completely mad!! I mean, look at her. How can you not love some one THAT crazy. Its fabulous! After I decided to write about her, I thought.... well I love her clothes, and love love her handbags and jewelry. But I would only be able to say the cliched FIERCE! to her shoes. they are loopy! I mean, from platform, to rainbow, to just random bits of fluff. She ALWAYS delivers. There is something about her designs that is just, so fanciful and creative. Its like she still has that state of mind that, and I mean this with the utmost respect, a three-year-old has. At that age they just kind of think, hmmm. I want rainbows and ribbons, and lace, and polka-dots, and fairies, and unicorns, and butterflies, and sugar and spice, and everything nice. oh wait, that's the Power Puff Girls. You know what I mean! Its just so... Whimsical. That's the word. Well, since I'm on a bit of a roll I'll do the Project Runway (EEK!) after dinner! Well thanks for watching and until next time, this is Hannah, signing off!

Yours, Nuttily

Hannah

TARGET DESIGNER!!!!!

Its New, its Next, but most importantly, its Now. God, I sound a spokeswoman for Target. "And its available right now at a Target near you! Come quickly before its all gone! Hello, and Goodbuy!" New Next Now is the latest GO International for Target Collection. And it is sassy. Of course I always have to talk about all the fabulous pieces, specifically the one I have. I went straight to target and bought this brilliant, even though it goes against my laws of being, FLORAL skirt. Well, to be honest in this picture, it doesn't look that brilliant, not with the shirt tucked in anyway. Actually, just tell me right now if I'm wrong, but doesn't it look kinda, oh I don't know... like gossip girl ran out of money and cast members, but still wanted to keep the show going, so they just tuck in a shirt and say its schoolgirl chic??? Oh god, if only the shirt wasn't tucked in it would be a lovely skirt. I guess  I love their skirts, because I'm gonna babble about another one now. This one is way more formal and I would almost definitely never wear it, but I have to admit, its kind of, well, ah-dorable! I love love love the way the ruffles aren't parallel. Anyway, later I will have a cast list on my blog... no not for a performance silly.... FOR PROJECT RUNWAY!!!!
