Not only was he allowed to show his collection..he won! Questions were raised about his craftsmanship, but Tim seemed convinced that Jeffrey was ‘on the up and up’. He stayed true to his aesthetic, while presenting a complete and well-crafted collection. Way to go, Jeff!
As Heidi said, every woman would want to wear all of the pieces in Uli’s collection…and it sounds as though every woman will be given the chance soon, according to the judges. She maintained her ‘resort-y’ vibe in the safari collection with fun colors, prints and details (horns, sequins, and braids).
Michael’s version of the urban safari–a woman on the hunt for who she wants to be–was not as well executed. As the saying goes, ‘getting there is half the fun’. Michael’s journey all season was so pulled together and polished, but his finale under the tents just lacked the substance that earned him the ‘fan favorite’ award. He does definitely have plenty of time to mature, and will surely be a part of the fashion world for a long time to come.
Back to the craftsmanship issue. How on earth did Laura manage to do all of that intricate bead work? Her evening wear collection was exquisite. In part one of the finale, Tim expressed concern that her collection could “go old”. It was mature, but stunning and elegant nonetheless.
I can’t wait to see Jeff’s spread in Elle magazine. Until season 4 starts, I’m going to hope to be inspired by Top Chef to get creative in the kitchen. So far, I haven’t found any of the contestants to be all that endearing, but time will tell.
What did you think of Jeffrey’s win? Post a comment and share your thoughts.

Jen and Gretchen’s Favorite magazine and we cannot believe we are just now posting about it! Anyway, NewBeauty is the most comprehensive magazine out there, in our opinion, related to plastic surgery and other cosmetic enhancements. It’s also a complete resource guide for cosmetics, over-the-counter / department store buys, that are relatively comparable, or at least in NewBeauty’s opinion, cheaper than plastic surgery and work well if you don’t want to ‘go under the knife.’
Each issue includes the ‘Beauty Report’ – which I LOVE – it is a collaboration between Nordstrom and NewBeauty magazine. It focuses on the latest products, treatments and procedures to help give you a comprehensive review.
Oh and definitely sign up for the TESTTUBE – it is too cool!!!

A great new reason to check out one of our favorite mixers.
In honor of Breast Cancer awareness month, Stirrings will be donating a percentage of the sales of its’ Cosmopolitan mixers and rimmers to the Young Survival Coalition.
Stirrings makes mixing the perfect cocktail a snap. I first learned about these at a fun Girls’ Night Out at the Village Vineyard. John and the gang made us a ton of fun martinis…and my absolute fave was the cosmo! The pretty pink-sugar rimmers make for a perfect girlie presentation (they’re yummy, too!!).
Stirrings is also donating $1 for each new subscription to their enewsletter to the Young Survival Coalition. Be sure to check them out at stirrings.com and The Village Vineyard! photo from stirrings.com

It’s Wednesday!!!!!!! Project Runway Day!!!!!
Don’t miss the Project Runway Reunion Show on Bravo at 10:00pm. Peaches and Herb sang “There’s one perfect fit, and sugar this one is it”. I somehow doubt that the designers will be singing this about each other, but I can’t wait to “watch what happens”.
Oh, and by the way, Tim Gunn For President! I just know he could ‘make it work’. I really need him as my personal life-coach. photo from bravotv.com
