Project Runway Season 6 Episode 1

It's in LA...awww I love NYC!!




After watching this with Lohan in it...I liked her a little more. I mean I loved her when I was a kid, but with all that went around her as she got older...But now I think I like her again.

The Fashion Show - Episode 12 (End of Season One)

I am happy Anna won, but I wish James Paul won. Loved his work but Anna's collection is more sellable. But I didn't really like Daniella's collection as much as the others...Too bad for James Paul!! I so wanted him to win, loved his collection soooo much. But I guess America isn't ready for it.

Nail Care

I am a very lazy person, that would so be my sin, sloth. Yep...So I don't really take great care of myself, I mean I don't smell bad or don't brush my teeth. I just don't like to take the time to eat or so the extra things like facials and stuff. They take forever and its a really big hassle (for me anyway, so people enjoy doing things like that but I would rather spend my time reading...I know total nerd, boo hoo).

But my nails are really starting to bother me, and well I am older now...a little and appearances mean a lot more now then when I was a little kid. So I did a little bit of nail care research...

Your nails are made of keratin, a hard protein that helps in protecting the ends of our little fingers and toes. Nails grow at a rate of 3mm/month and your nails condition can be used as a diagnostic tool.

Things nails need:

-Water, they like your skin also get dehydrated! When dehydrated nails tend to be weak, splitting, and fragile

-Vitamin B, when it is low it makes your nails fragile and brittle

-Essential fatty acids, such as Omega 3 makes your nails stronger.

-Zinc, low intake causes white spots. It helps with the absorption of minerals and enzymes.

-Calcium, your nails contain it so you need it, but OD on it and it can give you white calcium deposits on your nails.

-Vitamin H/Biotin, is needed for cell growth and production of fatty acids. Strengthens your nails and the ends don't split.

-Vitamin A, low intake will cause dry and brittle nails. It also helps in processing protein.

-Vitamin C, low intake causes hangnail/agnail which is a torn piece of skin near the fingernail or toenail. (I get these a lot)

-Vitamin D, helps with calcium absorption.

-Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that protects vitamin A and essential fatty acids from oxidation and prevents the breakdown of body tissues. However vitamin E molecules are too large to inter the surface layer of the skin or the nail. However when combined with jojoba which has a tiny molecular structure, it can enter the nails and draw the vitamin E into the nail and skin.

-Jojoba, its oil is great for moisturizing the skin and nails.

And tips...?

Eating habits are very important for healthy nails. Drink lots of water, eat healthy, avoid alcohol, saturated fats and fried foods, etc...Also keep your nails short and don't cut your cuticles.

Smoking, hair dyes and tints can discolor nails. Healthy nails should be pink to dark red.

Artificial nails can cause an allergy reaction, destroy your nail underneath, and the chemicals and glue used may be dangerous to your body when it is absorbed through the damaged nail and nail bed. Also it can contribute to the development of fungal infection.

A lot of people like to keep their nails long for fashion, however short nails are healthier. If your nails are long then they can be used to carry germs and bacteria which can harm our bodies. Also keeping your nails short can keep your nails out of harms way. Since nails are used as a counter force when we touch things if they are longer and "hit" something it can hurt a lot.

Try not to color your nails, chemicals in it can harm your nails. Nevertheless as a fellow female I understand that it is more fashionable. Therefore if you do color your nails be careful with the frequency you use your nail polish remover because it takes out all the oils off your nail. Moisturize your nails after you remove the nail polish.

The Fashion Show - Episode 11

Oh! Can't wait to see their collections!!!!!

The Fashion Show - Episode 10

I thought it would be James-Paul's easy win...so disappointed with his work. Loved Merlin's also and Anna's was really good. I thought Anna should have won...o well...



Johnny is an ass...but Anna should have helped him with the dress more.

The Fashion Show - Episode 9

I am so glad they didn't take James-Paul out. I hated his outfit though...it was really bad, but he has been my favorite designer so far because he is innovative. The problem is that he has not been able to communicate his ideas to the people.
I was really sad to see Merlin go, he is a great designer...most of the time. And this time, I really loved his outfit. The color was great, I really love the yellow and gray with the green trims. Also the jacket was great. I would definitely buy that, I really loved all the details to it and the pants looked great. It looks very comfortable and sporty with some detail. However I hated the top, it was really boring.
We all know that Daniella is a bitch. Her top was like her wining jacket and I didn't really like the skirt she did. Double ewwww! Plus also Johnny is an ass plus his outfit sucked big time. I would never ever ever wear that and I like to wear really weird things. His top looked ok, but boringggggg. Now the bottom...omg I want to kill myself!! The color was gross and the basket thing over the skirt?! WTF! It was the worse over all, so I have no idea why he was safe.
Oh, and we all loved Anna's outfit, it was really the best. She is doing so good right now. Even though I am cheering for James-Paul, her skirt really described her card and the design was unique and fun and wearable.

The Fashion Show - Episode 8

The Fashion Show - Episode 7

It's kinda sad to see Lidia go, she is really sweet. But the dress was a pretty big mess. Loved James-Paul's jacket. He is amazing!!! And yea...she really sounded like a pigeon...but the way she talks is cute.

I really loved the Glamor Wrap Coat that Haven and Anna made. If I had the $225 I would buy it, but I wanted James-Paul's jacket more. Its so creative. Wish he could win more often. Wish they had better pictures, I couldn't really see the details from the site. Boo!

The Fashion Show - Episode 1

I just remembered that I had no school tomorrow! So I don't have to sleep early and needed to spend some time, and thennn I remembered the ads I saw on the subways-The Fashion Show. SO here is the 1st episode...

chanelf09, mcqueenf09, lvf09

I'm sorry I haven't been posting, but I was hooked on reading manga. Yea...anyway I finally took a look at some more shows. I loved the use of the big bow and the ruffles on the sleeves on the Chanel Fall09 collection. I've been tieing the colorful scarfs my mom knites for me like that to make my ugly plain black fluffy coat look better. (It was the only coat that made me really warm, so I had to wear it the whole winter! Ewwww!!!) Also they added in some color (yay!!) of pastel pinks and jade greens.

Chanel Fall 09

I love Alexander McQueen, I mean how can I not? Some of his stuff creeps me out, but in a good way. I just love him. For his Fall 09, some of the stuff was really out there...But I still loved it because it was so interesting and I stayed on the site staring at the pictures for a really really long time. Loved the black and white one.

Alexander McQueen Fall 09

Alexander McQueen Fall 09

I'm not into Louis Vuitton...currently anyway, but I want these shoes! So cute, and it comes all the way up to the thighs (so I would not need to deal with stupid leggings and such). Also loving the cute little bunnie ears.

Louis Vuitton Fall 09

Moschino and Christian Louboutin

I was bored so I went to Vogue and took a look at the fall 09 collections. I mean I am very into fashion and stuff, but going through collections by myself is kinda boring...but I was bored and had enough of facebooking. Anyway so far I love like everything from the Moschino Cheap & Chic. The colors make it playful and cute. Loved the hats that reminds us of Minnie Mouse and the ruffles that were everywhere.

Also love the shoes from 3.1 Phillip Lim Spring 09 RTW by Christian Louboutin. If you haven't noticed-I REALLY FREAK'N LOVE RUFFLES!!

Heel: 4.5" Leather Lining

MUST GET ONE!!! I want one in red! Pre-order it here, at a price of *glup* $1,695.

New Bag

Today I went shopping with my mother...Hey she's got great style, so yea...Anyway she wanted a new bag and I tagged along and also got one, the Kenneth Cole New York Motorway Small Flap bag in orange. It was $318 and was marked down a lot so I paid about $100 for it. Pretty nice, I always loved their leather. Though they sometimes do a very bad sewing job and the threads are all over the place (bought a white one a loooong while back and had to return it). Thank god the sewing job was great ^^

Also passed by Bryant Park today, so should have just slipped in...

Alexander McQueen in Target!

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN IN TARGET!!! OMG! Well the news had been released for awhile...a long while...apparently I am kinda behind...>.>

Alexander McQueen will be the first designer in the new series called the Designer Collaborations for Target, which was inspired by Leila Moss from The Duke Spirit (a London band). She inspired the color choice of blacks, grays, whites among electric blues and magentas.

The collection includes studded skinny jeans, prom-style dresses, trench coats, swimwear, and tuxedo jackets in the British rock style.

Prices range from $30 to the most expensive $130 for the leather vest. And yes the shoes are from the collection =)
