Uggs

This is the year I'm giving in to the Ugg boots as well, despite the fact that I've actually needed them up here. I think I can finally accept them since I haven't seen a picture of Paris Hilton wearing them in sunny LA for a while.

I think this is the winter of cozy!

Obviously, you could see the visions I had! :D

Actually, I could see the herringbone tights going with a black dress quite nicely.

I have also been eyeing the Ugg boots, after years of mocking them. I love my flat riding boots, but I'm really in the mood for something cozy and practical this year.

patterns can be tricky

I'll give you that, but a cool pair of herringbone tights, or a subtle weave, can be a nice way to add texture to an outfit.

But yes, caution is advisable when wearing patterned tights. ;)

I love the bright colored

I love the bright colored coats, dresses, jewelry and what not but I have to cry "nay" on the patterned tights, unless they are on kids (or being worn around the house). They are right up there with going out in public in flannel pj bottoms. LOL

I don't own a pair of Ugh (sp?) boots, but I LOVE the way they look! Very comfortable, practical, fun. I don't even know if they're still trendy, but I'd welcome a pair for Christmas. Hey, why isn't DH looking over my shoulder now, when I need him? :-)

Carol Hannah!

I was rooting for her most of the way through, because she seemed the most consistent and the most likable and real. Irina was clearly talented, but the arrogance got in the way of wanting her to win. Just a little too much mean girl.

That said, I understand why Irina won. It may have been monochromatic and matrix-like, but the POV and the detail of each piece and the thought put into accessories, put her on top.

I was hoping someone here could explain the Britsh woman's Flinstonian hairdo, but alas, no one else seems to get it either.

And that scarf is a good reminder that I have Christmas knitting to do.

So the Pollyanna in me...

...really wanted to see Carol Hanna win because she wasn't so arrogant. Irina had these moments of narcissism and was critical of people like Gordana who ended up helping her kick some butt at the end. I have a similar issue with the brats on Top Chef--would you eat at their restaurant? Yes. But you don't want them to win on principle.

I agree that this season has been such a snoozer. Not only did very few designers think outside the box, I'm not sure many even found the box. I think the producers maxxed out on the Hollywood exposure and thought that dragging in stars would make up for less creative challenges. Plus, Nina and Michael being absent so much did not help. I'll start watching next season, but I may not stay.

And what was that flippy hair sausage thing on the judge's head??

Lifetime let us down

dcarnes — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:43:04 -0600

I agree with you that this was the weakest finale in a long time. Where was the drama, the catfights, the tension? I suppose Irina should have won, but really, an entire collection in black. I wanted Carol Hannah to win, maybe because she seemed so home grown, no real schooling to hone her skills, at least that's what she led us to believe. Overall, it was a real sleeper.

The most drama seemed to be when Tim got his hair in a ruffle over the models not being ready. And the greatest fashion don't was the that updo thing on the British woman's head. I can't believe she put herself on TV looking like that. But even then, it wasn't enough.

I really think Lifetime needs to step it up next season. Throw in some bizarre contestants, or at least one that really doesn't play well with others. I love this show, and I really want to keep loving it. Lifetime, don't let us down.

Totally dull season

DebbieB — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:04:02 -0600

I'm not big on reality shows. This one, American Idol (which is kind of tiresome at this point) and So You think You Can Dance (which I may never tire of) are the three I watch (3 too many according to my husband). In any case, this one may just fall off my TV viewing next time around. It was painfully dull this season. I don't know how Lifetime took a fun, creative, exciting show and turned it into a dull, sleepy hour of TV. Bring back the clothes made from a romp at the produce market! I may give season 7 a chance but they really need to spice things up.

Makes sense that Irina won but that doesn't make it good TV.

Great Finds here Blackbird. I found myself humming the song while I read your post. Tee Hee.

I especially love that JCrew necklace. It's gorgeous. I'm going to add it to I Need Pretty Things' "Thing We Heart" section.
