Final details

Law ball is tomorrow fashionistas and a few final touches are in order.

First order - dress.
See below.

Second order - shoes.
I was thinking of wearing these shoes with black tights.



The pair that I own has gold string detailing on the edges and isn't as platform-y at the front. It's black suede with gold detailing.
FYI: This was my first DVF item. (disappointed in the quality shoe though. The bottom of the shoe is imprinted with DVF DVF DVF etc, and after the first time I wore it indoors, the bottom of the shoe is coming off and the wood is being exposed) It says made in Italy...

Third order. - accessories.
Earrings: I bought a pair of earrings in Paris in the Marais district. In the Marais they have a convention building that features art exhibitors (similar to the One of a Kind show here in Canada). Like most things in Paris the items are nice but pricey. I bought a pair of drooping earrings that are mesh with beads inside. They were only 8euros. Wish I would have bought a pair for my friends as well. I will take a picture one day, I constantly get compliments for these earrings from friends, strangers and sale people.

(Also when I was walking there, I saw Ms Jay from America's Next Top Model. He was dressed in all black (as a man), carrying a black carry-on type bag. He was walking straight at me, just the two of us on the sidewalk. I smiled at him, but he didn't smile back.

Bracelet: My grandma gave me a silver cuff it's a silver flower cuff.

No necklace. Thoughts? Too simple?

Alexander the Queen

News just broke. Alexander McQueen found in his London home. No vital signs.

Check out the news.
Alexander McQueen News

He was 40 years old. Very sad. I'm pretty sure most designers thought he was the next up and comin'. Known for his extravagant shows, those big lips.



And his latest runway show: the animal-esque prints and hoof-like shoes.

I saw some red-carpet c-listers wear them.. to my disbelief. But I think the bold prints were definitely coming back.


Do you think his clothes will become more famous, as a result?
