However, my mom has her work cut out for her... The last time I tried to sew -- in 7th grade Home Economics class back in New Jersey -- I made a pin cushion and ended up with the material inside out. Don't ask me how. Aside from baking, I am not the best at keeping house.

SPOILER ALERT: That Gretchen ended up the winner over the sweet, talented Mondo left me a bit angry and disillusioned. Although I really respect Nina Garcia's opinion, Gretchen's clothes on the runway were just BLAH! Mondo's clothes , on the other hand, had color, pop and zest, and I have included a few of my favorites on today's blog post.
I think Entertainment Weekly columnist Missy Schwartz put in best when she wrote, in her finale recap:
"It was here, in the middle of the heated deliberations, that I started to realize that the Mondo victory that seemed so inevitable at the top of the hour was no longer a fait accompli. It was not a good feeling. It’s true that Nina proposed (albeit rather unconvincingly) that they hand both finalists the crown. But that suggestion quickly disintegrated under the force of her increasingly fervent defense of Gretchen (“These clothes are on trend!”) and MK’s increasingly bitchy demeanor. To Jessica Simpson’s observation that Gretchen’s clothes were loose fitting, MK barked, “Hello! Read a magazine!” (That was way harsh, Tai.)
And I love the Clueless reference.
As for my outfit today, I went with a military inspired green dress from Laundry by Shelli Segal. I could not find the dress online, but here is a similar miliatry dress from Phoebe Couture.
I paired the Military Ponte Dress with my L.A.M.B. Gorgeous Women's Pumps, which are, to me, stunning! I love the gold and suede detailing. I am also wearing my bracelet watch and diamond studs.
I guess I chose to wear this dress because it sort of Halloween-y, although not really... I miss the days when I could wear my costumes to work!
