Cause I have other things to fill my time, you take what is yours and I'll take mine...

This is my first ever style post, I did it a while back when shooting mine and Xanthe's competition shoot but forgot to post it, so here it is now.
I am wearing a blazer from Topshop, skirt from H&M, bracelet (which you can partially see- its 2 gold leaves intwined) from H&M too and the top is an Alexander McQueen one which he guest designed to raise money for a childrens charity.
Its been just over a month since his death but it's still so shocking and I read earlier this week that his ashes were planned to be scattered as he wished in Skye in Scotland.
I wanted to take this opportunity to post a photo of one of my favourite runway looks from his Autumn Winter 2010 collection, which was obviously stunning.
The detailing was brilliant and the dresses are truly works of art; so ornate and regal.
They reminded me of Tilda Swinton as the Snow Queen in the Narnia films.

"The pink sheep of the family”- RIP Alexander McQueen

My friend texted me on the way home from school to tell me that Alexander McQueen had died and I just couldn’t believe it.
I am still so shocked.
He has influenced so many designers, made a huge impact on fashion and was completely original. He will always be remembered for being simply an extremely talented and creative man.
Every collection got better and better and I just don’t know and can’t imagine how his team are feeling now, as McQueen has his AW2010 collection showing in London next week.
My thoughts go out to his friends, family and colleagues.

Alexander McQueen ‘Alien’ Shoes

My initial reaction when I saw these Alexander McQueen shoes from his SS 2010 collection was “Woah.”
Then “Omg how did he make them and the models get their feet into them?”
And finally *shrugs* "Ok, well McQueen is a genius” but never for a second did I think “I must have though shoes in my life now. I want/need/have to have them.”
Sure if I stumbled across them in a shoe shop I would try them on for a laugh but I would never ever actually buy them.
Also I have no idea how much they cost but seeing as they are designer and the hottest heels to be seen in right now I am guessing they are just a teensy bit out of my budget.
So I am wondering who is actually going to buy them?
Apart from Lady Gaga who wore them in her ‘Bad Romance’ video and Daphe Guiness who was the first celebrity to wear them on the red carpet I can’t think of anyone who would seriously buy these insane (yet undeniably brilliant) shoes.

What do you think? If you had that much money would you buy them?
