ONE DOWN, 10 DAYS

My first oral exam was insanely intense! Will blog about it soon. but for now, the mere thought of 10 DAYS before a part of home arrives in CPH, is worthy of a post.

SO EXCITED!

I finally finished watching Project Runway Season 9 yesterday! I have to say this season was so addictive compared to other seasons. I think it's because i love the designs in this season and they had a lot of unexpected challenges. So, I'm extremely happy when Anya won! I have to say I loved her from the beginning because she wasnt so cocky even though she was talented. Possibly because she only started sewing 4 months before whereas her competitors came from actual proper schools that taught them the skills. So I had my eye on her. I really was in awe of her courage to come to this show despite knowing so little. It really reflects what my mum always tell me "Just give it a try, you'll never know what happens. And there's no harm"

Despite her downs during the show that made me worried about her being in the game and making it to Lincoln Center, I was really glad that the judges saw her talent and actually made her the 4th person (initial plan was only 3) to make it to the finale runway show! That was the best second chance given because she actually came out the winner!

The most worrying and surprising thing i would say was that when Tim visited her, SHE DIDNT EVEN HAVE ONE PIECE DONE! And her competitors were finishing pieces or at least started and are half way through. So it was very worrying. Very happy that she pulled it in the end. Watching shows like this make you feel stress for the participants but at the same time make you feel like if you just had the courage and determination, you MAY ACTUALLY FREAKING LIVE TO SEE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE!

I also loved that she was dedicating her collection to her Brother :') Always so touching to see how motivating loved ones can be for each other.

Anyway, just a few picutres for her collection
 I LOVE LOVE LOVE the first two pieces. The swim suit was so sexy in a chic way. And the opening gown was a stunner! It was phenomenon.

 That's Anya. I also loved her style throughout the show. She was always dressed so elegantly but made it look so easy and comfortable.
A few of her stunning clothes. I love the v shape collar style. She does it so well and it's easy to screw that up because if you dont do it properly you will freaking see boobs everywhere! I'm really so in love with her collection and it was so cohesive! Although I would have prefer to see more range like jackets etc, I would say I still really the range she gave. It was the things she does best. And if you have noticed, she used a lot of prints. I am crazy about her prints. When i see her buy prints I always think how she can make that work. And when I see the final piece I'm just always in awe! She's the best designer I have seen who could do prints that well! Make it chic, modern and totally not cheap or tacky. A great win for sure!
GREAT JOBBB!! Really happy she won :') I felt so emotional for her too.

There were 2 others who I really loved. That's josh and Lauren. I will go into both of them another time. Until then, toodles!
