Spring is here!

Yes, Spring is finally here and I have been neglecting the blog. Eeepp! Well, I have been busy traveling for work and will be again on Monday but I thought I'd post this to make your weekend, for now. Heh.

Breaking News: Alexander McQueen Commits Suicide

The Daily Mail is reporting that Alexander McQueen committed suicide. The British paper says the designer was found dead at his flat in London, and is believed to have hung himself. His mother had died a few days earlier. A source at McQueen's office confirmed the suicide, saying, "It is a tragic loss. We are not making a comment at this time out of respect for the McQueen family." Details of his death have not been released yet. McQueen, who was discovered by Isabella Blow, was extremely close to the fashion editor. Blow killed herself in 2007. We will update as we hear news.

This is upsetting! Although I have never really been a huge fan of McQueen, his demise is definitely a loss to the fashion industry. He made the skull scarf popular...

... and who will ever forget the 10" heels that he sent models down the runway for his Spring/Summer 2010 collection?

With the NY Fashion Week going on, his presence will be sorely missed. Rest in peace, Alexander McQueen.

ZARA Spring/Summer 2010 Collection

ZARA's Spring/Summer 2010 Collection is finally up on its website. I find the collection to be very Chloe-ish, if I may say so. Nonetheless, I am a fan of the earthy tones and the color palette that is used for this Spring/Summer collection.

Below are pics...






I am definitely loving the 4th, 6th and the 9th look from this collection. There is just something about a classic, crisp white shirt that oozes style and sensuality to me. Which is your favorite look from this collection? Do share!

Sneak Peek at ZARA's Spring/Summer 2010 collection

Here's a little sneak peek into ZARA's upcoming Spring/Summer 2010 collection. More to come soon!

What do you think? I am definitely a fan of the blazer in the second pic and the black pair of sandals in the first pic. The leather shorts looks very chic and on trend but just not necessarily my style.

Also, I have saved up a couple of new arrival items that I like but it takes me a bit of time to save the pics, edit, etc so I'll have to save that for another post!

Marc Jacobs Collection Spring/Summer 2010

"If last season was a trip back in time to the eighties," Marc Jacobs continued, "this was a trip to the theater, the ballet, the opera."

Check out the backstage beauty makeover as defined by François Nars on the look for the runway show:

“Life is a cabaret, all the world’s a stage — and everything is beautiful at the ballet!” said Marc Jacobs, backstage.

Check out the runway video:

Some of the looks which caught my attention:

I love the cut, the fabric, the texture, the colors of this collection! Yes, granted some of the looks/pieces that he sent down the runway were rather 'out there' but that's Marc Jacobs for you. He always likes to have some 'shock' factor in his shows. I think the chiffon, the ruffles, the frills, the sportswear jackets are perfection. Oh, the thing that I dig the most? No heels! Yes, the geisha influence for clogs were executed in flats and kitten heels. I know plenty of ladies/fashionistas are lamenting over this, but I think its pure ingenuity. To me, Marc has once again proved that he's ahead of the pack.
