Wear the runway trend now | Ruffles & Lace at Alexander McQueen S/S12

Before I launch into this ‘Wear the runway trend now…” I just wanna apologise for being so M.I.A. with blogging lately. I’ve just finished my second week at University and it’s just been so hectic. I’m fairly settled now, getting used to my timetable and working out how to fit blogging into my schedule so hopefully, I’ll be a bit more active with both posting and replying to comments :) …

Right, now that formalities are out of the way, let’s delve into McQueen.

It’s no secret I’m a huge Alexander McQueen fan and Sarah Burton’s S/S12 collection at Paris Fashion Week definitely did not disappoint. It was classic McQueen opulence, ever regal and wonderfully detailed.

The trends I’m picking out to incorporate into your A/W wardrobe are lace and ruffles.

The trick to incorporating this trend is to use it in small doses. Dress the lace top with jeans or the ruffled cardigan with a simple LBD and you can’t go wrong. You can, of course, go for the OTT McQueen look, simply stick to the same colour palette when using both lace and ruffled details to keep the look classy, but I suggest that that look is for the brave hearted.
