App Love: Songza

Songza is one of my favorite music apps.  It as long playlists for every kind of situation.  Some of the categories are very specific as well as awesome. 

My favorite this week is the category for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.  If I can't be there then I will just pretend with some great catwalk music.

Here are some of my favorite playlists I have found so far.  There are so many to choose from!

Fashion/Website Love: Fashion Week Live!

One of my biggest dreams would be to sit front row at a fashion show (Actually I'll pretty much take any row!)  Since my job is kindergarten teacher and not fashion editor this is pretty big dream.  But fashion week still excites me even though I'm not in the middle of the action. Last night I stumbled upon the ultimate website for experiencing fashion week -First Comes Fashion!

You can make your own schedule so you know when videos and live shows are up from your favorite designers. You can also watch videos from backstage, trend alerts and interviews of top designers.  I can not wait for all the fabulousness to begin!

Entertainment/Fashion Love: Project Runway Season 10 Premiere!

Summer  is my absolute favorite season except one thing- no good shows. No New Girl, Happy Endings, Modern Family or Parks and Recreation.  I miss my favorites and most shows in the summer are truly terrible which is one of the reasons I am ecstatic that Project Runway starts tonight! I am so excited to see the new designers, the new challenges and the best judges around.

Some of my favorite Project Runway challenges:

1. Hardware Store Challenge: Season 7

This is an outfit by Jay Sario Nicholas in Season 7.  I still wish I could buy this and am amazed it is made by tape.

2. Hershey's Challenge-Season 4

This look was made by one of my favorites,  Jillian Lewis.  What a fabulous use of candy!

3. Miss. Piggy Challenge: All Star Season

Loved the creative looks the designers made for the pretty pig and the fun she brought to the judges' panel.

This entire collection was beautiful.  The vest is beautifully unique take on a classic look.

Excited for the Times Square Runway Challenge to start off the season!

Music Love: Amazon's Artists on the Rise

I have recently become obsessed with Amazon's free music section.  I started downloading free music and making playlists so I can sort through what I like during my summer road trips. They have an Artists on the Rise section,which is where I found the wonderful Kimbra, and free playlists created by Amazon and record labels, which is where I found the very popular "Bright Whites" song.

Some of my favorite finds from this free music treasure chest:
