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,

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,

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

Breast Cancer Research! Support or suffer!

You know I don't mean it! Tomorrow is our schools annual cancer walk. I wasn't there last year because I was in Japan, but its supposed to be really fun. To get in the spirit of things, I decided to do a piece on breast cancer in fashion.

For ages Coach has done these key-chains that I think are absolutely adorable, and they've also done a breast cancer ones. These are really cute. My favorite is the one on the left... although I wouldn't mind having the mobile charm!

I think that they're a really good way to advertise for breast cancer, especially because they are Coach. The one above is about $58 dollars. Kind of expensive? Yes. Totally worth it? Definitely.  Juicy Couture has also played its part, except 20% of the money earned from this shirt went to research funds. I bought this shirt, and so did my friend, after we saw it in some magazine. We both know people very close to us who went through treatment and survived so we thought we would help out. I seem to have lost mine however, which was quite sad for me to discover.  What's up with Renee in that picture she looks like she's gonna be sick. While smiling. And wearing Juicy.

Any way, got to go bake cookies for the walk tomorrow!

Yours excitedly,

2 down, 2 to go!

Oh my god. We just did a show for all the people in our grade and the one above. It was so much fun! Anyway, we're performing for all of the parents and other people tomorrow night and saturday. Most of my teachers are letting us take tests next week, just because its a school show. I've missed a French test, an English test, and a Science test! it was quite exciting. I'm tired, and am going to go to bed at 8:30, unless I'm watching last nights American Idol.

 Oh, So You Think You Can Dance starts up again soon! Season 4! Yay! I'm a dancer, and so are all my friends. So naturally we all watch the show, and so does our dance teacher. She loves the show. It's basically just a whole bunch of really talented dancers who compete to be America's best dancer. I want to be on this show, but I'm  probably never going to be good enough... and I quit ballet. It was making my life to complicated, just like gymnastics, piano, soccer, the list goes on and on. I don't really sing, but its getting to be more fun this year. I'm part of our school choir and we're singing this really confusing song, called Crimson Ivory and Aquamarine. Its weird but so much fun to sing. 

On the fashion side of things, during my many rehearsals for the show, I was also online "shopping." Look at this fabulous Stella McCartney dress. I guess I'm addicted to her, her clothes are just so amazing! Another "dip dyed" look, also done in bright colours. I'm not sure about the vampire corset/belt thing, but maybe it's necessary to have a big belt with this look. I also adore kimono dresses, especially since I went to Japan I couldn't breathe in a real kimono. The huge sleeves are just so appealing. Its main problem isn't even showed in this pic. Its on the back of the dress. There's a huge, stupid slit going from her ankles, all the way up to her butt! Why would anyone want that? I mean, seriously?! Also, the sleeves are a little to long, they drag on the floor and that girl is tall. I also have a serious problem with this model's hair. It's foundation commercial hair. That hair-sprayed to death look so that it's not covering up their apparently flawless skin. They aren't fooling anyone. We know that the faces have been air brushed anyway!

Dress of The Day

I found it. This dress is absolutely gorgeous. My fashion life currently revolves around the colours yellow and orange and maybe a little bit of red. I love the granulated colour. And dip-dyed clothing is in right now, so I'm actually on trend with the rest of the world and not just myself for once. The belt is also wonderful, the way its satin ties in with the dress. Its Alice and Olivia, and I want it for my friend's bat-mitzvah this summer, because it is absolutely perfect. The theme for the party afterwards is summer, yellow and happiness. A little cheesy, I know, but still sweet.

Oh, I also jsut discovered this artist called Madita. She was on the iTunes download of the week a little while ago. I didn't really like the song they had, at first. I suppose its a bit better now. but I finally convinced myself to checkout the album. And it is fabulous. If you liked Fiest (from the iPod Nano commercial) then you will adore this lady.

I also just went to our school's Senior Showcase. Its where all the seniors who are doing performing arts put on a show, showcasing themselves. It was wonderful because I've known these people for ages and I know how great they all are at performing. Anyway, I was depressed for ages afterwards because it was basically their graduation. Ugh. Two days later and still sad. Oh well, There's No Business Like Show Business! (Annie Get Your Gun by Irving Berlin and another show I was just in!)

Yours Sniffily,

Hannah
