Project Runway Obsession

I just watched the finale for season 2 of Project Runway. Unfortunately I missed that season, so I was super excited for a marathon today.

I couldn't be happier that Chloe won. Her pieces had been clean and sleek through the whole competition. Unfortunately for me, her store is in Houston, TX. I sent an email through her website asking if any of the many many many new boutiques cropping up in Boston might carry her collection. I just LOVE the 13th piece.

Jeffrey from Season 3 needed an attitude check, but there is no denying his talent. I love the rock star couture, but I can't afford any of his designs. Could I get a sale please??? For say... 95% off?

Jay McCarroll, the first. I honestly wasn't impressed with anyone from season 1. I gotta admit though that I am a nerd at heart and I tend to find his collections to appeal to the haute geek in me.

Birthday Month

One thing I love about the month of June is that it is my birthday. I'm not excited to get a year older, but around June 1st every shopping email or regular snail mail offers me a gift certificate of some sort; $5 off plus free shipping, a free cone of ice cream at the local Coldstone, a free birthday something.

So when LaRedoute told me I could get a free cami worth $20 with any purchase AND their site was already offering 30% the highest price item AND everything on their site is relatively cheap to start, I had to get something.


Well it turns out I wanted two things in addition to the free cami. I'm a big fan of the nautical trend, so I definitely had my eyes set on this cute striped top with fluttery sleeves. It's girly, flirty, classy and sexy. Perfect for a summer sail on the Charles.

Since I am obsessed with dresses, I had to see what La Redoute had to offer. I found this beautiful silk pleated, teal dress on sale. The color is bold and perfect for day into night.

I discovered that la redoute only lets people use one coupon code at a time. Sooooo... I made two purchases, and the net result was definitely in my favor. I'm looking forward to wearing all of these items very soon.
