I have been a fan Bravo network; their shows main focus is pop culture which includes reality shows, makeovers, and celebrities. I love project runway the most. I have watched the show from season to season. I am amazed with the great talents that each contestants have. The contestants are given a different theme for their garment every episode. Even if they pressured because of the limited time and budget they are given, they still manage to come up with wonderful designs. Aside from that I also keep an eye on the outfits of Heidi Klum and Nina Garcia, they are truly fashion icons. The next season is now shaping to be on air by July 2008. I hope that project runway can continue from season to season so more people can showcase their talents.

Posted by admin in fashion tips
The choice of color may be hard to match up but there are guidelines in what to do have a perfect color combination. Color is important in the whole concept of an outfit. The least you want to wear is a uninteresting outfit or a messy-looking one.
Beat the basics; you will never go wrong with it. Use basic hues like white, black, grey, flesh, tan, brown, cream and sometimes green is even considered neutral. Wearing this shades of color are not only safe colors since they match any other color plus they make you look sophisticated. Aside from that bright colors makes you look bulky and larger while dark ones makes you seem smaller and thinner. Do not make your shades over the top like using much color especially bright schemes. Having too much designs and color will defer focus. There are too many designs and colors the eyes can lose attention in an outfit. By mastering the color scheme you will never go wrong with anything you would want to wear.

express your self
Posted by admin in fashion
As soon as I get home I turn on my TV and switch the channel to fashiontv. I feel more relaxed watching it. Since I love clothes, accessories and everything related to fashion it is a way for me to get updated with the latest trend for the season. I also do love the runway. I am a frustrated model (I am neither that slim nor tall enough to be one) so instead I divert my lifelong dream of modeling to just watching models strut their way on the ramp.
I also love to watch the fashion shows done years ago. It is like reminiscing the good old trends that I may have worn. Also you can compare the clothes and how styles evolve. After years and years of watching it I have appreciated it much. Well I have observed that fashion is also a cycle, trends do comeback but in a more creative and detailed way. I may sound as a fashion victim but I just view fashion as a practical and sensible way of expressing oneself.
