Style File/ Do you Polyvore?

January 17, 2010 – 1:17 pm

Hey Seniors! By now I am sure many of you know about Polyvore.com. Polyvore is a free, easy-to-use web-based application for mixing and matching fashion items- shoes, shirts, coats, jeans, dresses, skirts, purses, lipstick, polish, etc. – from anywhere on the web. It is also a community of creative and fashionable people! W

I was just thinking that with Polyvore, our seniors can put together coordinated outfits for your senior session, it’s like playing paper dolls! You find things you already have and mix them with a few wish list items for your senior session. it’s allot of fun to play with layouts and find just the right things. Kind of a dream board of what you might want to wear for your senior session. One of my favorite things I have seen done there is to put together – Splurge or Steal- sets. Click here to see a page of different styles of layouts. Go play and have fun creating some look ideas for your session. If you create something you really love and think would be great for a session look, be sure to email us a link. We wanna see!

Today, I am in LOVE with this plaid jacket! It would be a great look with the truck at the Studio Backlot or in the Industrial set at the Studio Loft, or just on the gray studio drop for some punch!

And how about this great little outfit with the TWILIGHT inspiration?
L O V E the top! and the shorts. and the shoes. yup.

That’s all for now. Happy Polyvore-ing!

PROJECT RUNWAY / It’s baaaaaaack!!!!

January 15, 2010 – 7:48 pm

Who else has been waiting for this show to appear on their living room screens again? I just love it! Now, I am intrigued by this show for several reasons. #1. I can’t sew, even though my mom and at least one of my sisters are quite accomplished seamstresses. My mom was a home economics and sewing teacher, with a daughter that can’t sew a stitch. hehe What these people can do with this fabric just amazes me! #2. I’ like to do fashion shoots with these clothes! oh yes! New show idea to come on after Models of the Runway would be Photographers of the Runway Fashions. Photographers could compete to be the photographer who gets to shoot the Marie Claire spread. Someone pas that along to the network mkay? #3 I was an art teacher, as many of you know.. and one of my favorite parts of the show is just seeing little glimpses of their sketches. Those new little techo sketch pads that they have them using this season, those are pretty sweet. I have notebooks full of sketches of faces and clothes and doodles from way back in the day.

I was kinda sad to see Christiane King was the first to go, After viewing her portfolio of past work I was really looking forward to seeing what she was going to come up with. I too was disappointed in her first design but I think there were at least two others who were probably more deserving of going home, in my humble opinion. But what do I know?

I was however in total agreement with the win of Emilio Sosa. That hot little dress was a masterpiece of his needle and thread skills. I’d shoot it! :D Still trying to find

Any of you junior and senior girls out there sketch fashions? I’d love to see and maybe even showcase some here on the blog.

Speaking of Project Runway….. Holy Smokes!!! Irina Shabayeva, Project Runways latest winner, her studio is just as fierce as her designs. How cool would it be to do a photo shoot there?! Marie Claire took us on a tour of her place in their February issue, I just got mine in the mailbox this morning and I am inspired!!! From amazing flea market finds, to a jaw-dropping showcase of her first catwalk collection… her place has got to be an A M A Z I N G place to work and design. I want my office to feel like that! I am a fan and I can’t wait to see what she does next…
