My Thoughts on Project Runway Season 13 Designers

So since I reside in the tiny little country of NZ I was pretty slow to catch on that my all time favourite TV show is back for its 13th season. I immediately went online and watched all the 4 episodes that have aired so far in one sitting and I do have a little something something to say about this show. First of all...IT REALLY MADE ME QUESTION MY TASTE. I mean I've always sort of prided myself on being quite stylish but after watching the very first episode...I literally didn't understand life. So here's my take on who should have gone home and who I think will make it to the top. 

 FAVOURITES:

Fade: He is my number one designer, I just love how creative and sophisticated he is with his designs. He works so well with manipulating his fabric as shown in the suit challenge which I thought he should totally have been on top. What makes me angry is how underrated he is, it seems like the judges never see beyond tacky fringing and pinstripes to real glamour. He does remind me a lot of previous PR winner Dimitry as they both have that exotic touch (and were both pretty much ignored in the first few rounds). Any how I'd really like to see more of his work in the previous episodes to come and I hope the judges will finally give him some credit to the level of work he is presenting.
This is my favourite look from him so far:


Samantha: She is another one of the underrated designers who I really happen to like, firstly omg her personality is such a breath of fresh air, perhaps the only designer in the house who's not constantly having a dig at others failing designs. 
I feel like her aesthetic is the closest to mine with lots of use of muted colours and youthful silhouettes, I would wear her clothes in a heartbeat. But I feel like the practicality of her designs will eventually go against her because she does not always interpret challenges in the most creative way, and PR judges being themselves will totally fail to appreciate those who don't take risks. I hope she incorporates more colour and patterns into her designs soon because I really hope this doesn't handicap her in future episodes. Nonetheless I'd hope to see her at fashion week as she really does represent the younger generation of designers. 



other designers I hope to see at fashion week: Sean (NZ represent!!!) and Char, they both have strong visions and can create polished looks to support it. 

LEAST FAVOURITE:

Amanda: I honestly never appreciated her style. IMO everything she makes is drunk hippy barbie. And that's possibly all I have to say about her aside from the fact that I question the judges taste on making her the teacher's pet. 
Seriously. enough said.


Mitchell: If he only spent as much time on his garments than he did at bitching about other designers...mayyybe he'd do a bit better. Frankly I don't think he has any taste at all.

Innisfree Green Tea Mineral Mist review

Before I even start I just wanna say HOLY this stuff is soooo good. Its summer in a tube. Literally. I would consider this one of my absolute essentials, I used it religiously and lugged the 150ml sized bottle everywhere I went. This is not even comparable to some other mists I've used in the past such as the Skinfood and Skin 79 ones, unlike the others, this is in an aerosol tin so the mist is SO FINE. The spray pump is awesome and just the right size. Sadly though, I don't have a photo of it because IT GOT TAKEN AWAY FROM ME IN CUSTOMS *cryyyyyyyy. So lesson of the day...don't think about swindling your way through customs...they are horrible people.




You can use this directly on makeup and it will not stray simply because you can barely feel the water. Its just a cloud of coolness, a lot like walking through a fog on an early morning. I would use this when I'm getting too hot, my skin is dehydrated or when I get sleepy. 

 I would definitely recommend this product and you can get it on ebay for super cheap (something like $14). Super worth the money.

My Favourite Fragrance

So recently I've been loving trying out new fragrances and I came across the most comforting and fresh scent, which is the DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom. It is just the right blend of floral and fruitiness which makes it such a pretty perfume to wear and its so easy to use everyday, I feel like I can't get enough of it!!!! 


I mean there are other perfumes which smells stronger and more inviting than this one but I really can't picture myself wearing scents like that, such as Dior or Chanel (Gucci Envy on the other hand is another one of my favourite scents). I'm so drawn to fruity floral scents such as Lady Million and Versace Yellow Diamond...I literally cannot stop smelling them every time I go to the store........sooonnnnn.....

so the conclusion is, if you are looking for the perfect, girly, young daytime scent, this is my recommendation for you. The staying power is alright, I can get through a whole day of school with the smell attached and on my body the scent melts into a clean orchid scent which settles quite well over time. 

The only disappointing thing is the packaging and spray, it's really not my aesthetic and doesn't look that nice on display but I guess it's kind of cute being so round and all. The spray doesn't disperse the product properly so a lot of perfume lands on the same spot, but I mean those are all minor issues.
