Thanksgiving Special

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, so in the spirit of the season here’s what the FashionistaLab is giving thanks for:

My latest SF discovery that I can’t wait to return to:

Wasteland – a delightful mélange of old and new, high and low, modern and classic. Browsing the Haight this past Sunday, I wandered into Wasteland a confused shopper. I didn’t quite know what to expect, but based on the name I anticipated a hodge-podge of clothes from the Haight hippies of the past. Upon crossing the threshold I was presented with a cavernous room, but I soon discovered held racks upon racks of cool clothing. Whether second-hand or brand new I liked what I saw. And that’s the magic of wasteland. I saw new selections from Ark & Co, Beulah, and Funktional (among others), vintage clothing, and second-hand designer selections. The prices were so good I didn’t even think about a sale rack.

The end of season 6 of Project Runway and the coming of season 7:

Blogs agree – this season was exceptionally weak. Nobody was surprised when Irina won, but in a past season she might not have made it to the top three, and there’s no doubt that neither Carol Hannah nor Althea would not have made it. Thankfully Nina and Michael are confirmed to be present at judging for every episode of season 7, and the show is back in New York. Let’s hope the producers get it together and produce a strong season! Until then, I leave you with some of my favorite reviews of the season finale, and season re-caps:

Tech-Saavy Friends:

Lucky for me I have a friend in Berkeley who knows html, and has some extra time on her hands. Once we can synchronize our schedules she’ll show me a thing or two and this blog will get a facelift! Or at least a nip here and a tuck there. Stay tuned 🙂
