Have you heard of Top Design? It's a reality series that kicks off season two on Bravo next week on Wednesday, September 3rd where 13 aspiring interior designers battle it out for cash and prizes ($100,000 and a four-page spread in Elle Décor magazine to be exact). The first season was hosted by Todd Oldham with Jonathan Adler, Kelly Wearstler and Margaret Russell as the ever stylish and to-the-point judges. This year, India Hicks is the new host and Todd Oldham will mentor the designers for Season 2. (More info about the show here). I'm currently based in Germany until the end of the year so I won't be able to tune in but I'll no doubt try to catch the episodes online if I can. Will you be tuning in?

Here is a glimpse of the 13 designers... Who do you already have your eye on?

I think it holds promise and should be an exciting season -- Are you looking forward to it or do you find these reality design shows a bit overrated or bleh? Your thoughts?

Honestly, I sorta care about the design projects by I really just want to check out Kelly Wearstler's AMAZING wardrobe and hairstyle-of-the-week, hear what the clever Margaret Russell will say about each room, and count how many quirky expressions Jonathan Adler will throw out in a single episode. "See ya later decorator!" and "For Reals" always puts a smile on the my face. The guy is just blessed with personality and wit. I'm also interested in seeing what India Hicks will add to the show and of course, I'll be checking out her hair and wardrobe too. Oh and side point: Is it me or is Todd Oldham getting younger and hotter with each passing year?
