Alexander Mcqueen Limited edition/gifts

Hey so these are some gifts i found and also some limited edition Alexander Mcqueen items that i wante to share with you because they are really ncie and i love Alexander Mcqueen coz hes a babe. In case you don't know hes a fashion designer, he is actually dead-killed himself :/ , but his fashion  house/couture label has taken his palce to continue to produce gorgous items.

Savage Beauty


First is the Silk scarf.(left! the book is not a scarf, i know revelation....) It was created to celebrate Savage beauty and made exclusivley to commemorate Alexander Mcqueen. Its being sold in new york :/ downer , but i think you can buy it online? .
I love this scarf but unfortunatley, priced at $495 its not really in my price range tbh. It is a mix of silk and chiffon. I think i read somewhere that the skulls have been taken/influenced by previous collections.

Ok now the book. From what i can gather the book includes pictures of alexander mcqueens finest moments, catwalk shows etc.. It has an interveiw with him in it and also his commentation, i assume on his collections. I would write more but the website is playing up. Quote from the website about the book "Savage Beauty, published on the occasion of an exhibition organized by the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute in New York: preface by exhibition curator Andrew Bolton; contributions by Susannah Frankel and Tim Blanks: photography by Sølve Sundsbø. The book features the most iconic and radical designs of Alexander McQueen's prolific career with his own illuminating commentary, in addition to an interview with Alexander McQueen Creative Director Sarah Burton: features lenticular front cover "I put it in italics for you because .... im that nice. It costs $45, which is reasonable i guess.


This is a silver skull key ring, i think it means silver colour but at the price of it i would want a nice chunk of solid silver, but thats just me...It has swarovski crystals for eyes-yh dont we all- and a solid brass, logo embossed coin with an anti-allergic silver finish. Just in case you were debating buying it because you might come out in a rash.......

Don't get me wrong i love it but i would probably loose it. Seeing as its $125






Gifts
In the gits department (of the website) i found these cute key rings. I don't think they have anything to do with savage beauty but they follow the same idea and they come in different colours!! So i guess you coudl go off colour or just base it n the value of your house because you might have to sell it to buy one.

Kate Middleton's wedding dress

all rights reserved http://www.glamour.com/

She looked so gorgous in her wedding dress, which was designed by Sarah Burton from Alexander Mcqueen. Alexander Mcqueen is amazing unforntunatley he did kill himself-R.I.P- so he can't design any more clothes but his brand lives on and as you can see still has a large influence on fashion today.

Kate's dress, which is sure to spark of so many trends around the world, was elegent, sophisticated, flowing, graceful, gorgous and femminine. It wasn't revealing or tacky it had jsut enough of everything so that it looked royal. She genuinly looked like a super pretty princess. And as my friend Nick would say " shes a DILF"

Details
Designer: Sarah burton from alexander mcqueen.

Why she choose alexander mcqueen: It is traditional british couture and according to the official websiote which i haven't been on but i saw it through another site it is "traditional workmanship"

The lace: It was "hand-made by the Royal School of Needlework, based at Hampton Court Palace and the design was hand-engineered using technology invented in ireland in the 1820's.

The style
The style of the dress was very femminine but sophisticated. The nipped in waist line showed off her tiny tiny waist making it look even nicer. The train and skirt trailed behind her to give a gorgous silhouette. The lace was intricite and floral but not over the top. Overall it had just enough of everything to make it a timeless classic and an influentcial gown for years to come.

How can you get the look?
Ok, ive put together a short movie maker presentation with different fashion items for everyday, swimwear , work and night. Just to give you an idea. Took me ages, thats how much i lve you-anyone who reads this blog. If it doesn't play, dont tell me or i think i wil kill myself.
