Mary is usually the queen of trompe l’oeil, but this season, she decided to go more science fiction than the lanai in a Boca retirement home. It had elements of Alexander McQueen’s collection that made the armadillo shoe so popular. You know the one where the models had cable car tracks …

London-based designer Inbar Spector is pretty much the master of making honeycomb gowns. I’ve written about Inbar before and have her on my radar. What I love most about her designs is how ethereal and otherworldly they are. It sort of does remind me of Alexander McQueen if he had a super feminine …

Here is a taste of what’s to come for Fall from Alexander McQueen… So, beautiful with the structured silhouette for day and sheer structure for the evening. Really pretty how a free flowing sheer gown can look so sharp at the same time. Anywho, that Sarah Burton has done it …

Check out these creepy dolls from Garage magazine! These are actually model Lily Donaldson (Blythe, who?) shot by photographer Nick Knight and Dinos Chapman. I’m a creepy doll connoisseur, so this is definitely 2 thumbs up by moi. The eyes are the best- huge and dark. Anywho, Nick has shot for Dior and …

Artist Lorenzo Duran has taken OCD to another level. No, I’m kidding this is a true art. Dude hand cuts these intricate designs into leaves using a paper-cutting technique used in China, Japan, Germany and Switzerland to create CutawayLeaf Art. This reminds me of that incredible hat made by Philip Treacy …

Alexis Mabille ‘s fall couture collection had elements of hunting ( in my eyes) with the fur sleeves and the feathers used throughout the collection. The fur sleeves definitely have a gorilla effect. Specifically, a silver back. For someone who’s name is synonymous with glamour, elegance and bitchiness, …
Read More »what I made : The Purse Edition
I was really inspired by the Alexander McQueen Faberge handbag I saw at The Met a few months ago. Here is a photo of it. Although it’s definitely not as intricate as the McQueen one, the one above that I made is surely less expensive and still gets the look …

On my most recent trip to NYC, I took a gander at the windows at Bergdorf Goodman, which is a habit of mine since I was a little girl. Those windows are so damn magical! One of my favorite things about NYC is the ability to stroll down Fifth Ave. …
