I don't think there are words strong enough to help you grasp just how in love I am with the Alexander McQueen Spring 2013 collection. I am speechless. I am in awe. I am mesmerized. And frankly, it puts me in the mood for a little honey.
Sarah Burton's Alexander McQueen collection is an eye full of feminine silhouettes highlighting only the most sexy and feminine aspects of a woman while simultaneously (and impressively) combining chic with a little bit of structured madness. The honeycomb shapes on the hats (modern beekeeper anyone? I don't hate it) and ankle heels, mermaid pencil skirts, pinched waists, structured and angular tops that accentuate the chest and collar bones, and thick chockers are all key pieces in this darkly gorgeous collection. In my opinion, this collection belongs untouched adorned in a museum somewhere for the world to admire.
Uhm, modern day princess anyone? My new goal in life is to write a child's book with princess' wearing these designer dresses. Don't steal my idea! Its patented. Wait... does this already exist? Anyway, how brilliant is the use of Amber and Yellow in this collection? specifically in these two dresses. The use of materials and textures has me captivated. I could stare at these piece for hours. And I'm kinda sorta obsessed with the yellow ankle socks in the left hand photo above. Basically, I NEED IT ALL. Perfection.
 
Hello you UGLY world. I'm so excited to share my fashion inspirations with you You'll learn a lot about me simply by the type of fashion you're exposed to here. I like my style and fashion pieces the same way I like my makeup and my coffee. Subtle intricacies, sharp lines with soft blends of color, black, and effortless. When it comes to fashion, I always push myself out of my comfort zone and often find I'm attracted to various types of style. My main attraction is the perfect balance of effortlessness meets timeless beauty. But perhaps that's because I'm a makeup slinger by day and a fashion dreamer by night. Enough about me! I found these two photos via Pinterest which linked to 'In the City with Crystalin'. I was instantly drawn to them and here is why... 

A classic neutral outfit like the image you see above is not only timeless but its sexy in a humble way. But wait? 'I thought you loved black?' I know, I know. And you'll see lots of that but this particular outfit needs a serious shout out. I mean come on, look at the hem lines of each piece and how the layers perfectly blend together. With a neutral look like this its best to play up the textures in the pieces, some sheer and some solid. The solid white blazer with the sheer white blouse is perfection. Not to mention the line work. So simple yet killer. Don't even get me started on the hair. Straight military-esque outfit with soft, wavy uncontrived hair. I could die.
Now, for a little taste of something different. If you've never paired your favorite printed tee with a jean jacket and girly skirt, you haven't lived. You all own printed tee's right? or you have one you can steal from your boyfriend? If not, get on that. Stat! There is seriously nothing better than wearing one of your favorite feminine pieces then throwing on your favorite band or superhero tee shirt. And although I know this is a place for fashion, would this look really be complete with out her huge wavy hair and killer makeup? I think not. This season its all about mixing the effortless look of Kate Moss with the perfect look of Betty Draper. Get on it. And welcome to my world of FASHION.
