RIP Alexander McQueen

I was very saddened today to learn of the passing of Alexander McQueen. He has long been a favorite designer of mine, and I was really happy to see the full-on commitment to the insect motif during the S/S 2010 RTW show. I also loved the bright colors, the hyper-feminine shape of the hips, and the organic shapes and artistic nipple exposure at the end of the show. Below are some of my favorite looks to commemorate the loss of an excellent designer.

Happy February!

I totally fell of the wagon when it came to updating in January. I got really busy with a number of freelance writing projects, and I'm TA'ing a class in chemistry and environmental policy - I actually have a stack of legal briefs to grade for Friday! My grandma has also been having some pretty serious health problems, so that has been stressful.
I had two exceptional vintage finds in the past couple of weeks. The first is this great Versace jacket. I couldn't believe I found a jacket with such great metal detailing - the structure and the metallic details are my more wearable, significantly less expensive homages to Balmain. I think it will look cute over flirty tops and skinny jeans for spring.






The other find (which is actually on its way here from Australia) is a fantastic Lanvin skirt. I love the high waist and bright color - perfect for spring - and the dot pattern reminds me of the leopard print Lanvin did in 2009.





I'm sick of the formatting on this blog - I need to find a new layout.
