There's something about Ashley Nell Tipton. She has mastered reality TV on Project Runway, mass market collaborations with JCPenney, and creating a style all her own. And that's not all.

We've been waiting for this talent to launch her own namesake collection and finally, the moment we've all been waiting for has arrived! Tipton just launched her own private label including a variety of pieces that will mesh well with your existing wardrobe. The 14-piece collection includes essentials such as bodysuits and shirtdresses. But for those who want a bit more edge, there's something for you, too.

Think sheer full skirts, graphic dresses, and of-the-moment biker shorts with lace trim (perfect for layering underneath daisy dukes or minidresses). Also be on the look out for three eyewear styles and 24 (yes, 24) wide-fit jewelry pieces. Everything ranges from $24 to $99. At that price point. you may want to splurge and buy several pieces.

Peachy Fab!

Model Amanda Fields in NIKOLAKI Spring 2012 silk ziberline pleated neckline cocktail dress in peach with gold waistband accent.

Last Thursday, one of my favorite Los Angeles models-and NIKOLAKI Website Muse--the SuperFAB Amanda Fields stopped by my Atwater Village/LA NIKOLAKI design studio to pick out a little somethin'-somethin' to wear. Why, you ask...

Well, Amanda was appearing later that evening on AFTERBUZZ TV, "the aftershow network", where everything and anything is discussed--particularity on the subject of Reality TV--after the show. Following "Project Runway" Afterbuzz TV hosts an "after show" for
fans of Lifetime's Project Runway, naturally. In this show, host Alina Akram breaks
down the episode in which the designers get a chance to have their
clothes featured in a special collection at Lord & Taylor stores--the "Lord & Taylor Challenge". Amanda--who was one of the models back during Project Runway Season 3--was the special guest. And naturally, she wanted to wear a dress by a Project Runway designer.

 Amanda wore a dress style which singer/songwriter Carrie Underwood wore on The Ellen Show (top photo) from my NIKOLAKI Spring 2011 Collection--Amanda's was in a Peachy Coral color for this Season.

And of course, I think Miss Amanda looked FABULOUS in the dress at the AfterBuzz TV Project Runway Aftershow! So Chic.
