through these hard times...

Hello luvs,

so with this whole new election hope seems to be main idea. People are actually hopeful now you can feel it in how people speak and go on about their day. I for one, am one of those people. I feel like i can finally take a breathe and not freak out. So as i was talking to my boyfriend the other night we were discussing how my day at work was. I work at Macy’s so this holiday season i was expecting some Christmas shopping but not crazy like other years…wow was i wrong! people might not have money and might have been freaking out but they are out there shopping. The only thing that i did notice…more and more people are paying with credit cards than anything else. Now major credit card companies are getting lots of business but since the economy is still in a bit of a crisis at this moment credit limits are being downsized. Just the other day one of the girls at work was talking about how a customer was so mad because her credit limit had been lowered and she couldn’t purchase the stuff she was planning on taking as Christmas gifts. I say this is a smart move why didnt they do this waaaaaaaay before when things started to look like they were going down the drain.
So how does all this affect the apparel industry well hello i just told u people are shopping but they are willing to go for the cheaper brand right now than for the brand names we all love. Now another thing i came upon…as i was reading WWD, this was an old article about a year old, foreigners are the ones coming to the US to buy products since the dollar has lost some of its value. They are finding that designer labels are sometimes even half the price of what they can buy it for in their home country. So yes this is helping our economy in a way but if you really think about it they are paying less for something we pay more for.
So lets just hope President Elect Barack Obama has a good economic plan in his hands which has finally been leaked out for us to hear and discuss about it. Just remember to be hopeful and pray that we all get through these hard times

until the next one,

Another season has come and gone

So Project Runway has come and gone and dare I say it….YAWN! this season lacked something could it be that since it's the last season at Bravo the producers just didn't give a dam anymore? This season was more of the drama between Kenley and the rest of the designers than the drama in the garments. Now who would've thought that( spoiler alert if u haven't seen the finale!) Leanne was gonna win the whole thing?! I for sure thought Korto or Kenley would win it. Yes Leanne's collection was pretty amazing how she did all the so called "petals" by Michael Kors but it was just TOO MUCH OF IT!!! Every single one of her garments had that detail. And I mean that did get pretty boring. I love the fact that she stuck to the same color palette and looked like a real designers collection if u ever go and browse through Marc Jacobs collection it's the same thing. But didn't Kenley almost get eliminated like in the first couple of challenges…hmm…talk about taking criticism like a pro and turning into something amazing and winning the whole thing…unlike someone else KENLEY! Now Kenley's collection was beautiful no doubt full of color and always kept you alert, but like in many other challenges she got defensive when the judges told her that some of the garments shown looked like garments previously showed by other designers. Okay sweetie if you want to be in this business you gots to keep up with what ur competitors are putting out there, u don't want to be the girl that has the great designs that remind you of someone else's or make u think wait a minute ive seen this dress somewhere else.

Now moving on to Korto's collection I mean it was absolutely fabulous I <3 IT!!! It was full of color just like Kenley's . you could really see her heritage in every single costume and like Nina said the garments did not look like a costume she did a good job. To me she was the winner of Project Runway but all in all im not the one making the decision right so that's what I get
Well I cant say that this season was my favorite like I said the producers dropped the ball on this one. They concentrated more on Kenley and her attitude and her whole drama show man is there any episode where that girl didn't cry and say how hard she has had it all her life…uh hello ur not the only one sweetie! But oh well lets see if this show really gets moved to Lifetime and hopefully the next season is better than this one.

Until the next one,
