Fall Fashion Bloc: Pin Heels - FAB or SCARY?




The craze for Fall is Pin Heels. Simply put, the name says it all. From Yves Saint Laurent to Stuart Weitzman to Hugo Boss, everyone is designing their new stiletto, pump, boot and more with a dangerously sexy silhouette.
These are just a few from the season...However, the diva in me loves these heels while the reasonable, normal Autty is totally afraid of these heels - I mean, isn't it obvious? These girls are not for an amateur stiletto girl and frankly, I challenge even the pros to rock these bad boys. NONETHELESS, they are fab!
Ranging from different styles, shapes and colors and depending on the style of the shoe, even the most amateur street runway girl could possibly tackle them with a few additional disclaimers such as: Average heel I'm noticing is 4-5 inches, some lack support in the front of the shoe, and not to mention, and the average street surface is HELL to walk on in regular stilettos....
You make the final say-so for yourself tho.....Check out more on Elle Online at http://www.elle.com/Fashion/Fashion-Spotlight/Pin-Heels

Fashion Bloc: "Project Runway" contestants come to Lenox Mall


"Project Runway", Bravo’s former reality competition show for fashion designers has moved to Lifetime. Another change is that the show will be moving to Los Angeles after being filmed in New York since the show’s launch. The show is known for its innovation, crazy challenges, yet serious competitiveness. Each season brought an edge to the previous season, that as a fan, I thought could never get better …but it always did and I look forward to another season. This season will be just as important for the show due to the move, the heavy publicity, and the litigation nightmare regarding the move. Besides, Lifetime is not known for being a “stylish” or “hip” network but it is aiming to prove us all wrong with its already popular shows such as “Army Wives” and “Drop Dead Diva”. Over the weekend, Lifetime introduced a few of their contestants to Lenox Square Mall in Atlanta. The show's visit introduced: Carol Hanna Whitfield, 24, and Gordana Gehlhausen, 45, both from Charleston, SC, as well as, Mitchell Hall, 26, from Savannah, GA. Dave FM’s Mara Davis hosted a “Project Runway” challenge in which six people would try to design a T shirt seven minutes with the lucky person getting a $100 Simon Mall gift certificate which was a success for the network and its stars. Although, there are mixed feelings about the move, there’s no question about the love for Project Runway. Ultimately, we all just want to see the show! Project Runway premieres Thursday, August 20th, 2009 at 10 pm et/pt. To get to know the other designers, go to http://www.mylifetime.com/.
