As
you know, I'm a fan of all things dark and gothic - I mean, I think
I'll only ever stop wearing black when they can make a darker colour
- and when I think of these things I automatically think Alexander
McQueen. Now, from time to time I like to imagine that I have a bank
account with an endless sum of money and can buy whatever I like, so
recently I felt the need to have one of these imaginary shopping
trips over on the McQueen website. As you do.

As
soon as I saw those jackets, I fell in love. The leather biker is a
classic piece that would get worn with pretty much every outfit I
could ever think of putting together and never go out of style;
whereas the honeycomb print jacket would help make any basic black
pieces look planned and thought out - don't you just love effortless
style?
In
terms of accessories, I've been looking at nude pieces for Spring as
they go with just about anything and that blush Heroin bag is
stunning, so I knew I had to have it - in my imaginary shopping bag
of course. Today wasn't anything to go by, but it's been pretty sunny
recently here in the North East and I've had to remember where I
stored those sunglasses before winter. I think it's safe to say that
I'm definitely in need of a new pair, so I went for the good ole'
aviator and slightly retro styles. Simple, stylish, they'll go with
everything, sorted.
Nothing
compares to a little retail therapy every now and then - even if it
is just in the form of a wish list.
