so today i had FIT (saturday live), and we went on a field trip to mood. it is the third time i've been there, unfortunately not a lot but, i am lucky to even be able to go. we had to get swatches for 3 trends we chose for the boards, i think i am going to stick with animal print, lace, and plaid. it was hard to stay focused because my ideas tend to get all mixed up when there are so many choices. i saw some great designer label fabrics (just cavalli, and marc jacobs). the cavalli ones were seriously so pretty, the only one i was allowed to sample was the leopard which worked out well anyway. the marc jacobs one was more of a lining with his name all over it. there was a really cool board of all the PR contestants designs with swatched of their fabrics (picture below). we also went to M&J trims, where i scored 3 samples of lace, they only let you have 3 and it had to be under $11 a yard.
tons
and tons
of fabrics.
Project Runway board.
that's caitlin!
also, i picked up this lovely little box set. it is nina garcia's books, the little black book of style, and an autographed copy of the one hundred. i started reading them and she makes some good points about clothing, and how they should make you feel. so far, so good.

It's a good read
ooo
i've always wanted to go to mood!!
look at all the fabric it is sooo cool!
I've been to mood and it's almost overwhelming, in a good way! Sadly though I think they're seriously overpriced! There is a place a few blocks from mood w/ the same selection, but cheaper.
if you're looking to buy, that is!
OMG all the fabric is dreamy! How could anyone ever choose in that shop?
i love M&J trim! i could spend hours there. i was going to pick up nina's book but though it might be very similar to tim gunn's guide to style. what do you think?

I'm really jelous of your trip to Mood, I really want to go there just to a) get one of those bags and b) say "thank you Mood" in a Tim Gunn voice as I leave! The designer fabrics sound really amazing too, I'm sure I could spend a good few hours in there!
i also bought the "one hundred" (on amazon) i'm waiting for it to arrive :)
Look at those swaths of fabric!! I'm currently obsessed with lace! Using them on my head and on hand made cards too! haha!
How is the book? I would really love to get one of her books; either this or her first!
Ohh all the fabric...looks great.
cool thanks! i'll have to check out nina's book. i love tim and his book is great, but i agree it's for an older audience. tim would probably gag if he saw all my vintage! :)
