Balmain Spring 2014 RTW

I can't never get enough of Oliver Rousteing Balmain's collections. I love the constant new treatments he adds to  shapes like overalls and anything jeans. With an added touch of subtle glitz and glamour, you will definitely forget that you are wearing the predictable. What a breathe of fresh air.













                                Have a Whimsical Week!

Caged Bird: Alexander McQueen Spring 2013

Paris Fashion week just wrapped and I have to say it was thrilling. Alexander McQueen show was a showstopper. I fell in love with the amazing hats and caged bodice incorporated which accentuated the models waist.  Creative director Sara Burton, took us back to the hay days of the late Lee Alexander McQueen.  Right away I was reminded of one of my all time favorite poems "I know why the caged bird sings" By Maya Angelou. Here is an excerpt from the poem

The caged bird sings

with a fearful trill

of things unknown

but longed for still

and his tune is heard

on the distant hill

for the caged bird

sings of freedom.

                                                   Freedom should never be taken for granted.
