thats right i sew and i like hockey. wanna throw down gloves about it?

ok ok. so proj runway this season has been a dud. i am behind a post for the latest ep i realize but it'll happen don't worry. Also i saw pics of the final 6 at Fashion Week..final 6 get to show at fashion week in attempt to keep the winner and final 3 a surprise, any who, saw the pics and no surprises, and still not really impressed by pretty much all but one designer. but that friends is for a later post.
the blog is kind of a clothes themed blog i suppose, it's not necessarily supposed to be strictly proj runway, so I'm gonna throw in some new stuff.


I like hockey.
I like the Sabres.
I like fashion , clothing, costumes, fashion history....

And recently they unveiled a new jersey so really this is a solid synthesis of things that make me happy. Believe it or not i can easily name a hand full of times that i can happily ramble on about where hockey meets fashy kind of things, ex, Ryan Miller, Fashion Show Benefits, Derek Roy's cribs episode (killer closet), Alyssa Milano representing for brunettes who like hockey and well fitted women's beanies, by doing what she can for women's fans sportswear ( stepping back from pastels, piped trims, and ill fitting baby tees, ), and the ridiculousness that are the stories of avery ( slight grimace, his job is to be a jerk, he's good at it and I am not going to pretend I'm not slightly jealous about the internship) at vogue.

back to the point. NEW JERSEY UNVEILED!!!! YAYYYYYYYY! and it looks awesome!. the "slug jersey" is really unappealing to me. the emblem bugs me, i mean if people refer to it as a slug how can that be good? the colors on the jersey are bright and eye catching but in a kinda cheesy overstated kinda way. but hey that's marketing. i get it.

but the one they just unveiled is my cuppa tea. it has the vintage kinda feel that i love love love. The colors are darker and deeper, eye catching but classy, dapper even. The 70's logo is so much more appealing and attractive to me. The stripes are awesome and give that old school letter jacket kinda feel which enforce the vintage thing again. it is vintage but not aged or drab. There are some shots of silver and the vertical design lines create an updated sporty look that add some 2008 to the look. even though it isn't much, and not loud look at me look at me marketing i like it. i prefer it over the latter. And the icing on this fashkey cupcake... (fashion+hockey...hocshion just sounds like a symptom of a cold).. where was i...oh yea the icing on this cupcake of casey happy thoughts.... the tie at the collar, it's old school, it's the perfect touch. it seals the deal.

Happy Pre Season Ladies and Gents this is casey leigh signing off.
