god save mcqueen

I'm not sure what the reasoning is, but lately, I have been all about Alexander McQueen's skull items. I have been wanting a pair of his motorcycle jacket inspired booties since the first time I saw them, but in recent days I've been looking at a lot of the jewelry, and in a perfect world, I'd have it all. :)  I love how he takes a traditionally masculine symbol, and by adding touches of glam, makes it fiercely feminine. I'm obsessed with all the different takes on the moto-boot, too. Studs, sparkles, glitz, and glam--all essential to the McQueen legacy. <3

While browsing through wedding blogs for hours upon end, with no real reason, I discovered this Australian based line, Jane & Eleni. Their spring 2010 peices are fun, flirty, and feminine. The subdued color pallette is perfect, giving the looks a whimsical feel. There are a few fall '09 looks thrown in, and the all black ensembles, set against a stark desert background, are chic and edgy. Can't wait to see what this label does in the future!

must have of summer #1

I featured these Marc by Marc Jacobs in my "Lady Gaga" Polyvore set yesterday, and the more I thought about how fabulous they were, they more I decided I must have them! I'm so mad I didn't think to look at the jewelry at Marc by Marc while I was in L.A., but maybe when I'm in NYC in a few weeks, I'll scope 'em out. I love fun, quirky earrings, and these remind me of some I probably would have had as a kid. In fact, a few weeks ago, my sister was massively cleaning her room and we found her earring "tree" and it had some pretty amazing finds on it.

The yellow telephones are one of my favorite pairs! I am going to have to go on my own earring hunt when I get home this week...and massively clean my room, too ;)
