Project Runway!

We just finished watching the season 7 finale of Project Runway and loved it!  
To be honest, we don't really watch much reality TV except for this show and maybe Top Design.  Oh, and Celebrity Apprentice, America's Next Top Model, Girls Next Door, Jersey Shore (what, it's awesome!), and Big Brother.  Holy moly, do we love Big Brother!  So much that we have started watching the British celebrity BB seasons (Stephen Baldwin and Sisqo becoming friends!) to get our fix until the new American season airs this summer.  I guess we are reality junkies after all.








Anyway, back to Project Runway - I won't say anything about the winner or final three contestants in case you haven't seen it yet so as not to be a spoiler, but there were some surprises and lots of amazing clothes.  Other than Christian Siriano in season 5, I think this was the strongest bunch from the recent seasons. 

There wasn't quite as much juicy drama as there could have been, but we haven't seen the reunion show yet, so you never know lol. Who was your favorite designer this time around other than Ping (since she automatically gets the wtf weird vote)?

T-Shirts for Spring!

I don't know if there is anything quite as comforting as a soft, vintage t-shirt to wear on a bright Spring day like today.  If I could capture the magic of the thin, brushed cotton with the glittery iron-on transfer or random 70s quote in fuzzy stick-on letters and keep it forever, I would, well, capture it and keep it forever!  Do you have memories of the best vintage shirt you ever had?  Here are a few of our favorites from the collection that we just posted:
