My Obsession With

Whether it was his limitless imagination, stunning construction of garments or consistent urge to push the boundaries of fashion, Alexander McQueen will forever be my favorite designer. An eye for perfectly executed exaggeration and a respect for the beauty & fragility of modern style, McQueen created a legacy. Sarah Burton currently carries on the torch as creative director of the beloved brand.  Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2013 is a defining line; something the McQueen Bee would be extraordinary proud of. 



This buzz-worthy collection speaks for itself. The art of draping and constructed forms are apparent in every piece. Honeycomb headpieces, wasp patterned tulle skirts and variations of gold bodices predict a very couture spring & summer. In the world of fashion, McQueen will forever rule the hive. This brand is so beyond immaculate; ever-changing twists on modern fashion are daring yet traditional, which is the foundation of every collection. As Alexander once stated, "There is no better designer than nature."

It's that time of year again..



Prepare yourselves.
Bouts of crash dieting, envy, (and for boys, boners) are all serious side affects of watching the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show. Toned bombshell-glamazon women strut the runway in beautiful bedazzled bustiers, thigh-high constructed fishnets, couture-styled angle wings and million dollar swarovski-crystal studded fantasy bras. The gold glitter runway, vamped up musical performances and the constant awe of playful pouts, long locks and rock solid abs make this show one fierce productions. We watch these beautifully designed, universally sexy lingerie pieces come to life. While a handful of newbie angels were added to the list, allow your jaw to drop for a few of my favorite angels that cover every wall of a VS store near you;




 This 5'10 Brazilian beauty is basically the face of Vickie Secret.
Her perfectly contoured body and signature pout are deadly weapons.
The most envy inducing feature of all? This is her body, post 2 pregnancies.

Candice, a South African smoke show, was signed just a few years ago but has graced almost every catalog/advertisement since. Her strikingly blue doe-eyes and blonde waves give "girl next door" new meaning. My 11:11 wish is that i wake up looking like her. 


Ah, Miranda.
She just has a grade-A perfect body, an Australian accent & goes home to Orlando Bloom every night; no big deal.

Los Angeles native Chanel became a high-fashion super-model at the prime age of 20. Rocking the VS runway as well as the Ralph Lauren campaign, she's doing more than most models will ever dream of. 

Lindsay is a sexy little angel complete with fair skin and bright locks. 
She's known for her Gorgeous bra campaign and appears in several swim catalogs and photo shoots. 



Doutzen is a Netherlands beauty queen known for her strong runway strut and pretty pout. She has modeled for Vogue, Time, and was included in Forbes Magazine's top-earning super-models bringing in $6.9 million a year. & that's how it's done. 

Erin is a fierce, freckle-covered angel from Skokie, Illinois.
Discovered while on a family vacation, she shot to stardom with the help of VS. Among the other models, she's known for being quirkishly intelligent! Brains & beauty. 

Fitting the VS image to a T, Lily is a petite brunette with a signature gap that embodies everything a PINK wearing VS model should be. She is also known for some sexy poses and winks to complete her runway strut. 

Behati was a fresh face that fit the PINK line perfectly.
She was signed as an angel last year and slayed the runway during her first fashion show. She's now dating Adam Levine..who awkwardly dated VS angel Ann V. last year. Addicted to angels? I think yes.


Start the hype for this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.  Rihanna & J Biebz will sing alongside the angels; December 4th, 2012 @ 10/9c on CBS.
