happy heart day!

This weekend, Ike and I relaxed and enjoyed some down time. I'm not terribly into Valentine's Day, but flowers, some new heels (2 pairs of new heels actually), and some new pearls (thanks Mom!) definitely got me in the spirit. Hopefully everyone had a wonderful weekend with their honey, or with great friends (equally fun on V-Day).

I'm cutting this post a little short since I am still trying to get an entire New York trip packed into one suitcase...something I've found might be an impossible feat. Wish me luck! I certainly need it.

the fashion world mourns an icon

Alexander McQueen, one of the greatest and most unique designers of our time has passed away today. McQueen was the head designer for Givenchy before founding his McQ and Alexander McQueen labels. His completely unconventional and artistic style is amazing to watch on the runway. If you are unfamiliar with his work, I highly suggest checking out some of his shows, a few of which can be found here, here, and here. While we all mourn the passing of such an amazing artist, check out some of my personal favorites of his. 

 

"I think the idea of mixing luxury and mass-market fashion is very modern — wearing head-to-toe designer has become a bit passé. It’s a new era in fashion — there are no rules. It’s all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together. " -Alexander McQueen 

STILL feeling under the weather...

I was just bragging last week that my allergies haven't affected me at all this season. Well, karma decided to give me a swift kick in the ass and I have been feeling pretty awful for almost a week now. posts are coming so so soon though.
