up close and personal ::

i have been pouring over these detail shots of Alexander McQueen's last collection of accessories from F/W 2010. love, so thought i'd share.

a mix of updated classics with new genius, the embellishment and melding of colors and styles is just amazing. he was such a genuine craftsman...who else could pull these concepts off together so beautifully?

neck ::

i'm often amazed by Etsy, but rarely do the sellers put together a great product and presentation.

Necklush's product line consists of scarves made of cotton loops that can be worn in multiple ways. multi-colored pieces are screen printed and special make-ups are available for special order. their photography is noteworthy on a site where sellers are so easily forgotten, and their product shines through.

there's even an instructional video...http://www.youtube.com/necklush , just in case you need some help.

black ::

Victor & Rolf available at Colette.

really moving past the basic black clutch guidelines, this clutch is smaller than i'd normally take a risk on, but i lovvve the detail. can't tell from the images, but i hope the handle can detach.

clutches aren't for everyone, but who doesn't love a cute belt?

silk roses and super small waist? count me in. available at Colette here.

speaking of sticking to a theme... these ultra feminine heels (which should never ever be worn with the clutch/belt, ever, in any combo...) are sky-high and ready to go out. 

also available at Colette here.
