This has been bugging me:
On the second episode of Project Runway, contestent Rob said about his dress, with some glittery attachments: 'Have jewelry, will travel'
o.o
What does he mean?

An excellent question Tee and an astute observation on your part.
I'm sure many of the young folks out there would have trouble relating to such an indistinct and obscure expression and were equally as puzzled upon hearing it.
So, I offer this explaination for you.
I'm not a watcher of the show Project Runway, however, the expression "Have jewelry, will travel" is a reference to an old TV western show that starred Richard Boone as "Paladin" a "gun for hire", he was one cool dude:
"Have Gun, Will Travel" ran from 1957 - 1963.
I think the phrase could be translated into something like:
"I have everything I need and I'm prepared for whatever is ahead."
About the show:

The shows' theme song: "The Ballad of Paladin" was pretty catchy (lol..for it's time) and the lyrics went something like:
"Have Gun Will Travel reads the card of a man.
A knight without armor in a savage land.
His fast gun for hire heeds the calling wind.
A soldier of fortune is the man called Paladin.
Paladin, Paladin Where do you roam?
Paladin, Paladin, Far, far from home."

lol...just thought it would be fun to post that for the older folk who might be reminiscing about the show right now.

Sorry, I lov Project Runway but I only have time to see the first episode before I go to work why do they play the same show over and over again?

I think that he meant that his dress already contained the jewelry to accessorize so there is no need for more jewelry. Basically the dress had everything you need so it travels well no need to add anything else. Hope that was clear.

my opinion may be way off, but here it is; there is an old western that's called, "Have Gun, Will Travel" and if I'm remembering right was about a hired gunman. so, its a spin from that and is probably just a qwerky way of talking about accessorizing.

Well I was confused about that too but when I thought about it, I came to this conclusion: He has the money to buy expensive jewelry so he has the money to travel too. I'm not sure I got it but that's just my opinion. Thanks for listening!

This was a spin off of an old western TV Show.
The motto was "Have Gun, Will Travel"
