'Tis the Season

I love the holidays! Everything from winter clothes, holiday festivities, decorations, and of course the much needed winter break from school. This outfit is one of my favorites for winter time. It's perfect for holiday parties or out on the town. To make the crop top and skirt holiday ready, I added polka dot tights,  a trench coat, and a headband to add some extra warmth for those chilly, winter days.

Fashion TV Shows You Need To Watch

1.) The Fashion Fund-   The Fashion Fund is a show about the CDFA/Vogue Fashion Fund competition.  There are ten up and coming designers competing to win a 300,00 grant and mentorship from the top industry professionals.  Past competitors in the Fashion Fund are Alexander Wang, Rag and Bone, Altuzarra, Billy Reid, Rodarte, and Marchesa.  The panel of judges includes the queen of fashion, Anna Wintour, Diane Von Furstenberg, and executives such as Ken Downing of Neiman Marcus, and Jenna Lyons of J.Crew, and more. This is a great show to discover some of the new up and coming talent in the fashion industry. The show airs Wednesday nights on the Ovation channel. You can watch a preview of the show here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5WWduM-F5w

2.) House of DVF-  Let’s just say that I’m pretty much hooked on this show. House of DVF is a reality show competition in which a group of women compete for a coveted spot to be the brand ambassador of Diane Von Furstenberg. The girls are put through the test by doing fashion related work assignments( PR, Planning parties, social media campaigns, lookbooks, ect.)There is a good balance of drama and fashion. I love how Diane is genuinely interested in helping the women be the best they can be.She give honest and sometimes very blunt advice/criticism. Not going to lie, I’m pretty jealous that I am not competing for this job opportunity. The show airs Sunday nights on E! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdcTil9qTx8

3.) Project Runway All Stars-While Project Runway is not on, Project Runway All Stars fills the design competition void in our lives.  Project Runway All Stars features some of the popular & most talented contestants and winners on past Project Runway shows competing against each other. The show also features host Alyssa Milano, I judges Isaac Mizrahi, and Georgina Chapman, and mentor Zanna Roberts Rassi. They are put through a variety of different design challenges like the dreaded unconventional materials challenge and group challenges.
