What an absolutely brilliant marketing tie-in to update the standard reality contest show! The fact that the winners' garments are available for sale at either Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue, or H&M (in NYC stores and online) the next morning is a stroke of genius. Am I wrong in this? I've read some pretty disparaging reviews of the show, but really? I love the concept.
Maybe you have to have been involved to some degree in the industry to appreciate it? Could be. Either way, I am inspired to stop procrastinating and start sewing up the funky shirt for J that I've had cut out and sitting impatiently in pieces for two weeks now... thank you, Fashion star!

The birthday surprise shirt that I made for J back in January was a huge hit--brown fabric with a subtle pattern combined with a contrasting inside cuff and collar band paired with pale blue piping detail at the western-style front and back yokes. He has worn it frequently and always gets compliments on it... which alwas makes me smile.
So...
Pumpkin Pancakes (made from scratch) consumed--check.
Costa Rican Crack Coffee x 2 cups--check.
Walk around the neighbourhood with the furry boy-check.
Procrastinating about heading out for a swim... well, yeah. But in fairness, the sun is too high and I'll burn to a crisp at the moment, so I plan to go later.... really. So technically that's almost a check--right? Check.
... on with the day! Have a great one!
