Every week we see things on television shows and movies that inspire us. I am always looking to some of these shows and movies to keep me updated on trends in fashion and beauty. In this segment I will do a recap on what I saw the week before that inspired me on television or film. This will touch on fashion topics from wardrobe, home and beauty trends.

Fashion Star on NBC

This is the second time around for NBC's Fashion Star and I am so excited. Last year my mom and I sat in the same room and watched it together faithfully. The last two weeks we have watched separately, calling each other during the show to comment on what we saw, loved and hated. This week Friday the show is on week three, already minus two designers and the designs are getting better. Last year my early favorite was Kara Laricks who went on to become the show's first winner. Her masculine meets feminine looks won me and my mother over early on in the show.
I am still trying to figure out who my number one is this year. It will have to be between Priscilla Barroso who wowed me with her personal modern granny style and the polka-dot romper she designed the first week or Johana Hernandez, the funky dressed Latino from California. Both designers graduated from FIDM, where I spent my first year studying fashion design. I loved Hernandez's sexy red leg baring maxi dress last week. The thing I love best about this show is being able to have a piece of the action. The designers design their garments with hopes that this season's retail buyers will bid on them for the opportunity to sell them in the stores they represent. Two retailers returned this year, Macy's & Saks Fifth Ave. Express took the place of Fashion Star Season One original, H&M.
My Fav's this year & their work!!!

Since Fashion Star, Kara has been busy working on her collections. After designing collections for all three of the show's featured retailers, Macy's, Saks Fifth Ave and H&M, she debuted her Spring 2013 women's wear collection during Fashion Week September. The spring collection is available exclusively at Saks. Her spring & fall 2013 collections can both be viewed on her website http://www.karalaricks.com
