We just wrapped up our interview with designer Merlin from The Fashion Show and, boy, did he have a lot to say! During last night’s elimination, the judges criticized Merlin for being too ambitious in his “busy” design and, ultimately, they just weren’t buying his traveling sweat suit. The judges said bon voyage to Merlin, but he refuses to let the sun set on his dreams. Read on to hear Merlin’s point of view.

SO!: Do you think your fate in the competition would have changed had you drawn a different tarot card?

M: No. When I pulled that card, I knew I was out. I didn’t want to waste my energy trying to fight it. I accepted my fate. I believe in destiny - it is why I am here, in this country.

We’re happy to report that The Real Housewives of New Jersey will be back for a second season! According to Life & Style, shooting starts in a month.

“They’re doing a second season, and it’s going to be crazier than the first,” an insider tells Life & Style. “It’s going to explode. There’s no premiere date, but everyone knows it’s going to be a huge hit. The reason it has taken so long to announce is that once the show became such a hit, the women held out for much bigger paychecks.”

We can’t wait - can you? Shop this season of the Real Housewives of New Jersey here, and tell us what you think about the new season in the comments!

This week, SeenON! connected with fashion expert Erika Stanley of SNOB Style  to dish about episode 7 of Bravo’s The Fashion Show, discuss the good ol’ “walk of shame” and talk about what it takes to design for a big name in the industry.

SO!: In this week’s Harper’s Bazaar mini challenge, the designers were asked to clean up a “walk of shame” look and create something acceptable for the office. What are some simple tips that you can offer girls in a crunch to help them make the events from the night before not so obvious?

ES: I would say take a few things with you. Incorporate basics into your outfit so that you can “Macgyver it up” to work from day to night or night to day.  Bringing along a scarf or tights can make it more of a daytime look. Layering is definitely key.
