Cute Carry Ons


Last October I faced a dilemma. I was traveling to Florida for the weekend, but could not check my bags. This falls under the category of dilemma because I am a chronic over packer. I literally pack for every scenario possible.
I was forced to go on the hunt for a cute, carry on, that was large enough to fit all my stuff. Many of the bags I found were either too expensive or too small. Than I was reminded of the ever glorious Amazon. You can literally find anything on that website. I typed in weekender and found a wonderful company called Olive n Figs. Its made of an extremely durable fabric that can with stand the bumps and throws of travel and even better 5% of the proceeds go to Street to School" Project. This projects helps with students education in Calcutta India. Seriously this durable, large bag that supports a worthy cause cost me only $30!

Project Runway


Now if you love all things fashion than you must worship Project Runway. The cat fights, the insane challenges, the talent, the ridiculous vote offs, and of course Heidi. Half the reason I tune in is to just see what she wears. I must say that despite the harsh rumors flying around the internet saying that nobody showed up at season 4 auditions, and that there was no talent this batch of designers were honestly the best by far!!! They were a fun loving, diverse group of designers who made us laugh and caused our jaws to drop at the stupendous outfits they created. My favorite by far was Jillian Lewis. Her style alone was so innovative that you knew her clothes were going to be even more spectacular. If i was a millionaire I would seriously commission her to create beautiful clothes for me.

Even though Jillian did not win and "fierce" Christian did she is still a winner in my book.

On a side note did you notice Jaslene from ANTM was on that runway and they say these former ANTMers don't work.
