December fast approaches and it’s definitely time to get excited for Christmas and the holidays. Inspired by Louis Vuitton S/S bright white is a very hard trend to pull off, but with the festive party season coming up it’s a trend that will look great in the cold winter months and will be a colour to pull out once Spring and Summer hits too.

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
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.

I’ll admit right now when I definitely went through an emo style stage when I was in my early teens. It involved alot of black, converse, skinny jeans and listening to emo/indie/pop punk. I’ve grown out of it slightly but not enough to still be drawn to the look of ear tapers, flesh tunnels, plugs etc. I’m definitely not one to go for a huge gauge size but the smaller sizes still appeal to me (and won’t send my mother into shock :P). So you can imagine my surprise when I was browsing TopShop a few weeks ago when I found they sell fake plug earrings. There’s a wider range of styles and colours in store but I personally love the black version I saw yesterday of this silver one I’ve found online.
