My love for all things Tim Gunn continues, and tonight on "Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style," he and Gretta help yet another woman with whom I identify. Ariana never pays attention to her own needs, buys clothes on a whim, and doesn’t have any of the items on Gretta’s essential list. Can’t wait to see what they suggest for her! Check out the previews:

(Season 2, Episode 6)

This week on "Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style," Tim and Gretta worked with a young musician, Eliza, who started out in ripped t-shirts (yes, she actually ripped all her t-shirts on purpose), ripped and too-tight jeans, and wacky hats.

While her music career is on the way up, I didn’t feel like Eliza was making the best use of her personal style. She sang a little at the beginning of the episode, and her voice has this wonderful, jazzy tone to it. But her wardrobe looked cheap and trashy.

On “Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style” tonight (10/9c), Tim and Gretta work with Eliza, a woman who gets her style from magazines, movies, and music videos, but has never tried to find her own groove. And can they help her stop looking for constant approval from the people around her? In short, she’s clueless, and they give it to her straight! Check out the video clips:

"It takes time to detox from being such a psycho sale shopper." - Gretta

This week on "Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style," Tim and Gretta worked with a young woman named Diana who has a lot of the same problems I do.

For one thing, Diana is a shopaholic who loves to browse sales. For that reason, her closet and drawers are stuffed with a ton of things that aren’t right for one reason or another. Either they don’t fit right or they’re not "her".

Also, the sheer volume of clothing items makes it really hard to pick an outfit. Tim and Gretta took her entire wardrobe back to the loft, and there were some 200+ items, not including the 60-some pairs of shoes and other accessories.

On "Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style" tonight (10/9c on Bravo), Tim helps Diana, a woman who falls into that trap a lot of us fall into. We see stuff on celebrities and think it’ll look great on us. And it usually doesn’t!

Diana also has another problem I share — shopping sales and stuffing my closet with things I never wear. You guys are learning all about my own fashion faux pas by reading this blog! Check out the previews:

(Season 2, Episode 4)

Last week on "Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style," Tim and Gretta helped a young realtor named Caroline ditch her shapeless suits and dowdy dresses for fresh, hip clothing that showed off her youth and fab figure. And like Tim said, appearances are so important, especially when you’re climbing that career ladder.

Like Caroline, I have trouble finding pants that fit me, too. Check out the Alvin Valley pants that she loved so much right here. At $130, they’re a little pricey for my budget, but I’m almost tempted to order a pair anyway. Oh, to have pants that fit!

In fact, Tim and Gretta are showing me how important it is to have clothes that FIT properly, and I’m realizing how few things in my closet actually fall into that category.

Tim Gunn is always sensitive to the moody, creative contestants on "Project Runway." But some things call for stronger language, and he doesn’t mince words on a new ad for No on Prop 8, an organization that opposes California’s hotly contested proposition to ban gay marriage. "It’s simply wrong to take people’s rights away!" Gunn exclaims. Tell it, Tim!

Ok, so we don’t have "Project Runway" at the moment, and who knows whether it’ll end up on Bravo or Lifetime (I’m gunning for Bravo!).

But we’ve still got our ever-faithful Tim Gunn offering up style and wit on "Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style." Tonight’s episode, 10/9c, is a complete 180 from last week. Remember Ali? She was downright rude to Tim! But his protege tonight is excited about everything he’s doing for her. Away with the fleece zip-ups and mom jeans! (Oh dear, I really need to watch this one.) Check out the previews:

Here’s what’s playing on Bravo today:

11am - 2pm: Reruns of "Date My Ex: Jo & Slade." I haven’t really gotten on board with this show yet. Anyone watching?

3pm: Rerun of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" - It’s My Party! This is the wacky episode where Kim throws an $18,000 birthday party for her 11-year-old daughter. Seriously?

4pm - 5pm: Reruns of "Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style," including last week’s episode, featuring Ali, a bitchy gal who shuns Tim’s ideas for her. Say what? Not good, dude. She sees the error of her ways, though.

8pm - 9pm: Reruns of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" (in case you missed the 17 other times its aired this week).

The next episode of "Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style" airs Thursday, Oct. 16, 2008 at 10/9c. And to enter my giveaway contest and maybe win a cool Tim Gunn Bobblehead, click here.

This client, Ali, is a teensy bit different from last week’s concert pianist-turned eco-entrepreneur. His new client asks for help, but then seems completely uninterested and disrespectful of Tim’s advice. What a diva!
