Alexander McQueen Spring 2012 RTW

I am loving Alexander McQueen's ready-to-wear spring 2012 collection by Sarah Burton!  Inspired by the iconography of oceanography, Burton started the show off in feminine outfits that included umpire skirts with ruffles, in bright colors, to give the illusion that they were "jellyfish".  All of the outfits were paired with lace hoods and platform shoes, that are to die for, but my favorite was the black laced sheer number, down below!  I would wear that work, its amazing!  Check out Burton's profile on Voguepedia and let me know what you think!

Vera Wang Bridal

My uncle just got married Saturday and that is part of the reason for not posting Friday and this weekend.  The wedding went off without a hitch and the bride looked stunning in her strapless mermaid inspired dress with stunning embroidered details.  My uncle on the other hand, opted for the Texas staple with a classic suit paired with a cowboy hat and boots.  So, in light of the festivities, I compiled a couple of the dresses that I adore from Vera Wang, who gained her own label after designing her wedding dress after not finding what she was looking for.  Known for her luxurious fabrics, impeccable detail and classic, modern designs, Vera Wang quickly gained notoriety and is definitely a major player in the fashion industry.  Let me know what you guys think!

Parke & Ronen, Spring 2012

      

While surfing around GQ online, I came across Parke & Ronen's Spring 2012 collection that showed this past Friday in New York.  I am definitely feeling everything that this collection has to offer from the chic styling to the casual, sophisticated aesthetic!  I love the use of bright colors, which we are seeing a lot of in Spring, but what I like the most is the burst of colors that are not too bright, to where it distracts you.  The use of print and plaids on the shorts are an added element to the already likable collection, and don't get me started on the swimwear because they look amazing!  Show them some love! (and show me some by sending me some Parke & Ronen trunks!)

Voguepedia

Everyone has heard the saying, "Google it."  Well, now you can add, "Voguepedia it," to your list of phrases!  Voguepedia, presented by Michael Kors, is the most amazing idea since the invention of the wheel!  It brings you everything that has ever appeared in Vogue straight to your fingertips.  It also features a search box and links to the most sought after information (ie, designers, models, brands, personalities, and beauty) in a user friendly layout.  My favorite thing about Voguepedia, is that it gives you amazing profiles/bios about your favorite people, like Roberto Cavalli (above).  I know that this will be a huge hit for all of you fashion buffs out there, but an even better asset to you fashion students.  Hit the hyperlink and let me know what you think!
