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!

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!  

Glee + Fashion's Night Out

 

Mark your calendars everyone because Fashion's Night Out is only 7 days away!  All over the world, from New York to Australia, everyone is joining in to celebrate and appreciate everything that fashion has to offer. Here in Houston we are having the annual Simon Now Fashion Show presented by Cadillac, which I will be attending again this year.  

To mark the event, the cast of Glee was photographed by Vogue and made a commercial covering David Bowie's, "Fashion."  Oh, how I love it!!! What do you guys think?

One Word...Balmain!

One of my favorite brands in the whole wide world is Balmain because of their prints, silhouettes, and rock-chic aesthetic.  Oliver Rousteing, the new designer at the fashion house is working his magic and I'm dying with joy over the Resort 2011 line!!!  I believe that every girl should have at least one Balmain garment in their wardrobe; be it a skirt, top or shoes.

Gorgeous skinny pants paired with the blazer is definitely how I would style it.

Out of the whole collection, I love this skirt the most because of the color and the intricate detail. It says that you are not here to play games!
