RIP: Alexandar McQueen

This may be a shock, but designer Alexandar McQueen has just committed suicide and has been pronounced dead. He was found this morning in his London apartment unconscious. The reasons for his death are unknown, but the designer has faced the loss of his mother this past week. Alexandar McQueen, age 40, was set to debut new line, McQ, today at New York fashion week. We are all very sad for his loss and send our condolences to his family. What a terrible loss... this man was a genius.

Valentines Day: Decorations!

Us fashion lovers are lucky when it comes to Valentines day; although a "Valentine" may be absent on this event, we do have fashion to bring us salvation. This is why, when I pondered upon what I should paste upon my cutout string of paper hearts, I looked no further than the latest issue of Harpar's Bazaar. Valentines day is one of my favorite Holidays. Weeks before, I buy home and food magazines like Martha Stewart's Living, and search for recipes and decoration ideas on the internet. Last year, I decided to combine two things that I love to create one masterpiece: AKA my collage hearts, which are pictured below. Incase one is interested, these hearts are very easy to make, and only require string, paper, glue, and magazine cutouts!
