As I sat down to watch this past week’s episode of Project Runway, I was already feeling creatively stumped. But the second they announced the challenge (but only after making the designers run around an indoor track) I had no ideas whatsoever. The task assigned was to create an outfit – actually three, but I’m only one person here not a team – using denim and/or suede to be worn with Heidi’s upcoming line of New Balance sneakers.
It quickly became apparent that Heidi wasn’t looking for something athletic, but rather an outfit that felt right with the shoes. A serious challenge. Out the window went my past strategy of sketching along during the show and in came the oh-my-god-I-need-to-make-SOMETHING mentality. After about three attempts while sitting down at the HP Touch Screen 610, I came up with this:
I created a sleeveless knee-length ombre suede dress in a tan to olive gradient. It features a deep scoop neck, off-center front slit, and oversize armholes. I then topped it with a cropped black denim jacket with three quarter length sleeves, a banded collar, and copper stud work along the front. To complete the challenge I paired it all with the 410 sneaker in black.
If you haven’t watched Episode 5 yet, catch up right here. You can also see all of my past designs here.
Full Disclosure: HP provided me with a TouchSmart 610 for use. All content and opinions are mine. I have not been financially compensated by HP or Project Runway.

I seem to swing two ways in decor, either really minimal or really graphic. It’s obvious which side of the spectrum wolfum lies on. (via crow and canary)
Posted In house and homeI can’t help but say the name of this mirror/jewelry box in a Golom-esque hiss, but Precious is much better than that. The side drawers are perfect for rings, bracelets, and baubles while the pull out hooks on the opposite are made for hanging necklaces. EVerything slides right back into place for a sleek look.
Posted In house and home, wallsI agree with Martin, these CMYK tees from W+K are quite possibly one of the easiest and design nerdiest Halloween options ever. I’d happily sport the black K tee no matter the day of the year.

I’m all kinds of in love with Nicole Meyer’s Branding 10,000 Lakes project for two reason.
1. I had the honor to be a Minnesotan for about a year and a half in the early aughts and loved it.
2. I adore design projects that tackle the same thing over and over again in various forms.
One Minnesota lake gets a logo every day, it’s simple. And if Meyer keeps it up she’ll have them all tackled in a mere 27 years.
