The Many Silhouettes Of Spring

This is such a fantastic editorial from Harper's Bazaar Uk- the wide variety of shapes and silhouettes is stunning!

Happy Monday, Lovelies.

Editorial: Everything Is Still

Such pretty clothes. Although, I gotta say, the metallic Givenchy dress with the arm pit cut-outs has always puzzled me. "Here, let's expose solely your arm pits. Everyone knows that they're a girl's best feature." Ha, but anyways, I hope you all are having a lovely week. Sorry again for the lack of posting.

Excess White Fabric

What it is about white ruffles that make me unspeakably happy? Especially that McQueen gown in the third shot. I die.

Closet Envy

Erdem. Christopher Kane. Jil Sander. McQueen. Nicholas Kirkwood. Even Mary Katrantzou.  I don't think I've ever had such a bad case of closet envy.

Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress

I'm so happy with Kate's dress choice, she looks radiant! I'm having so much fun watching this wedding. 

Well, It's Spring Break.

I have this picture tacked up on my wall right now. This McQueen dress has been inspiring me since the first time I saw the collection (spring 2007).

Hello! I just wanted to give you guys a heads up that it's spring break here for the rest of the week, so I want to apologize in advance if I post less then usual. Have a beautiful week, and a happy Passover and Easter! 

Let's Talk About Alexander McQueen...

I'm going to admit it. I doubted Sarah Burton's abilities. I felt like she would be a decent fit when she was hired, but after her first collection I was a bit skeptical. There was something magical about a McQueen collection that would make me fall in love with it. I mean, head over heels in love. Even if the collection wasn't really my taste, it fascinated me, and I would refer to it again and again. With Burton's previous collection for McQueen, I didn't have that special connection. I don't think I looked at it more then twice.  Did she have the McQueen aesthetic? Yes. But I felt like she took McQueen's greatest hits and just tweaked them a bit. It just didn't sit well with me. 
However, one look at this new collection, and I was sold.  Looking at the fabrics, silhouettes and details in this collection, I'm so glad to say that I was once again fascinated. I never expected Miss Burton to be McQueen. That would be unreasonable. But I thought it very well put by one journalist today who said that there seems to be a lot of McQueen still in the McQueen brand. Then again, maybe there was always just a lot of Sara Burton in Lee's work.
When I saw just one look, a little tingle shot up my spine. The magic is back, and it's alive and well at Alexander McQueen.
