The TV Chick

After all the fashion challenges I completed for Jane By Design, I have to say, I feel a little attached to the show. The new ABC Family show centers around Jane, a high school student, who finds herself working at one of the biggest fashion houses, Donovan and Decker for notorious Gray Chandler Murray. She has to figure out how to balance school, a job and multiple (adorable) love interests. I recently had the chance to talk to Erica Dasher and Andie MacDowell (Jane and Gray respectively) about their unique relationship, the amazing clothes, and what’s coming up on the show.

After last week’s crazy, action-packed Pretty Little Liars, there were a lot of questions unanswered. Last night, we found out that Lucas is alive (I had a feeling) and he’s not A or working with A. Although in my opinion, things are never as they seem in Rosewood, so we don’t know if perhaps he was working for A at some point in a sort of round about way that he didn’t know about. Also, the new guy is back. At first, I was all against Holden because I don’t like things getting in the way or Aria and Ezra, but perhaps he’s not so bad after all? “Let the Water Hold Me Down” kept up the momentum of this pretty great second half of the season.

Last night’s episode of Pretty Little Liars, “A Hot Piece of A,” had some very interesting clues as to who A might be. Or in my opinion, who A might be working with. It also was a bit of a heartbreaking episode for those rooting for a certain former teacher/former student relationship. There was also still some leftover tension with the girls from their fake fighting extravaganza. It was a great episode though, even if it was a little sad.

I am so happy Pretty Little Liars is back on TV. After last week’s stellar mid-season premiere, I am excited to see where the season goes. What are the girls going to do with A’s cell phone? When will we find out who A is? And what about all the romantic relationships that keep getting affected by A? I recently had the chance to chat with Troian Bellisario (who plays Spencer) about the upcoming season, the Spencer/Toby relationship and Spencer’s confrontation with Garrett in the premiere.

Thanks everyone for sticking with me through these challenges. This is the last one! And kind of a cool one actually. We were supposed to take a look from one of the character’s and tell you all how to “get the look.” I chose Jane, because obviously she has a great sense of style. The look I chose from the premiere I thought it encapsulated her taste in fashion. Keep reading to see what I found so that you can get the look.

It’s the penultimate fashion challenge for Jane By Design, which premiered last night! I hope you all tuned in! Anyway, this assignment was quite interesting. In our original Donovan and Decker trunk, there were a few small bags of pretzels. I had no idea what could possibly involve using pretzels and fashion in the same sentence and then I got my challenge. We are supposed to use the pretzels as inspiration to create something amazing. I was honestly stumped. I’m not great at creating things and I didn’t want to dig out the fabric markers and start drawing on something. That my friends, can’t be reversed. So I started thinking…maybe I could create a “look” that is inspired by pretzels and so I did! Check out the results below.

Tonight is the return of another favorite ABC Family show, Switched at Birth. At first, I thought the concept was a bit overdone, but the show quickly won me over with its sweet stories and interesting integration of sign language. The Vazquez and Kennish family have been forced together due to the ‘switched’ circumstances, and I can’t wait to see how all of their relationships develop even further. The premiere tonight is great, and I am excited for everyone to see it! I recently got the chance to chat with Vanessa Marano (who plays Bay) and Katie LeClerc (who plays Daphne) about the big premiere, the love triangle their characters are in and why everyone should tune in tonight.

If you couldn’t tell from my plethora of posts today, Pretty Little Liars is finally back tonight! Emily’s story has been one of my favorite of the series, and I just love watching how she’s changed and grown since day one. She’s gone through such an emotional journey with her sexuality and her family coming to terms with it and she’s evolved into a new girl who is comfortable in her own skin. Of course, all the credit to what Emily has become goes to the talented actress who plays her, Shay Mitchell. I recently had the chance to chat with Shay about Emily’s new-found confidence, what to expect in the big premiere and what’s coming up with Emily’s love life.

The Lying Game was one of the pleasant surprises of last year (it’s weird to say last year even though it’s only about a day into the new year). What seemed like a teen version of “Ringer,” turned into an interesting, unique drama. When last we left our twinsies, Sutton was about to sabotage her own birthday party and expose Emma. But then, Emma (playing sutton) made this weird speech and the real Sutton never showed up. So now the only ones that know the truth are Emma, Ethan and Thayer (Mad’s brother for those keeping track). And of course their shady parents know something, but I digress.

Pretty Little Liars is finally back and it feels like its been so long! Tonight’s big midseason premiere is nothing short of amazing. The girls get the closest they’ve ever gotten to ‘A’ and they obtain an item of A’s that is crucial to figuring out his/her identity. The episode starts off with the girls not exactly getting along. There’s an epic fight, which was pretty entertaining to watch. But at first, I had to rack my brain as to why they all might be fighting (and shunning Emily). I even went as far as reading my review of the finale, and then I realized, they weren’t previously fighting. So why now? Well, in the middle of the episode it all gets explained, and it’s a pretty fun twist. I won’t spoil it for you, though.
