After watching part 1 of the Project Runway finale last night, my love for burnt sienna velvet dresses was solidified. I really adored the dress that Gretchen was wearing and it reminded me very much of one of my favorite dresses from the Family Affairs fall/winter collection. Rebecca wore it a few weeks ago and I absolutely fell in love with the dress and the whole collection. I don't know what it is about this season, but I really just want to dress in velvet and sheer all the time lately! It just feels so luxurious and refined yet a little bit kitschy, and I love me some kitsch. Luxury kitsch... I think that's my new favorite description of something. Why yes, I do live in a luxury-kitsch mobile home!
This collection makes me want to have a whole new wardrobe full of sheer blouses, velvet, lace up booties, and tights. Winter wardrobe anyone? I have this vision of a chic little house on the prairie, but with a touch of British pomp & circumstance. I'm not sure if that girl and I will ever be the same person (probably unlikely) but I can always close my eyes and pretend to be her once in a while. And maybe I'll have an outfit or two hiding in my closet that I can pull out to imitate her for a day.

oh man i know i totally fell in love with gretchen's dress too! I've never really thought about wearing velvet until i saw it!
I really love the bright outfit above. i've really been attracted to color blocking like that lately.i think i like the simplicity of it because it allows it to still be bold.
The clothing that Gretchen wears is way awesome. The clothing she makes...not so much(in the latter part of the season). I wish she could reconcile the two. It's a shame that she gets in her own way with her personality.
I am totally loving velvet for the fall and winter, too! It takes the right person to wear it though.
so funny, I also thought of the Siren Song dress after seeing Gretchen's dres! Thank you for the shout out! xx Nina- Family Affairs
I know! I keep going to my closet hoping there is some velvet piece in there that I forgot I had.
