Hunter Bell with her Express Collection

The votes were in on Friday night’s season finale of Fashion Star.The winner was Hunter Bell and the competition was MAH-JOR (say it like Rachel Zoe)! I have to admit that I didn’t watch season one of FS but season 2 was nothing short of spectacular. I prefer FS over Project Runway in a New York minute. The behind the scenes drama shows how arduous it is to actually CREATE something new and exciting not to mention sell-able, the designers in and of themselves are less-(how shall I saw this nicely as possible) bitchy! No clawing or cat fights just creative people bonding together to bring out the best under the fine mentor-ship of Jessica Simpson, Nicole Ritchie and John Varvatos. As much as you want to think that Ms. Simpson is a blonde airhead you can see why this woman has a BILLION dollar fashion empire-she has her finger on the pulse of fashion and what the public will buy. John Varvatos is a fashion force giving great direction and Nicole Ritchie (bless her heart) really does hold her own with a great eye for style.  Louise Roe, is charming as the Host and MC of the night and has a certain warmth to her that is infectious. All in all ..Fashion Star is a must see that returns next season.

Huneter bell also created collection for Saks and Macy’s: click onto FashionStar.com for complete details…

Designer Kelly Weastler perched perfectly in her home.

Lately I’m a little bit obsessed with designer Kelly Weastler. I’m not saying this in a stalking kind of crazy fan way…but more from admiring a woman with MAJOR style savvy. Kelly first became know for her “unique interiors” then she branched into home goods and as of late selling a line of clothing at Neiman Marcus. What can I say… the woman has an eye for design. I will be featuring some of Kelly’s wears in later posts but for now thought it might be nice to see how she lives. Stay tuned-I have a feeling you will be obsessed too when you see what Kelly can do with a room. AH-mazing!!!  (Photos courtesy of Pinterest).
