Emma Watson, Rihanna and Chloe Moretz all went mad for plaid in a McQ by Alexander McQueen Tartan Puffball Faille Dress, that’s so haute and popular, it’s already sold out several places! The dress is made of red tartan wool flannel with a jeweled neckline, contoured, fitted bodice and a full, pleated puff skirt with pleated trim at the waist and a rolled hem. Emma Watson first wore the Fall 2011 McQ dress back in September to the GQ Men Of The Year Awards at The Royal Opera House in London, England. She paired it with a black leather jacket and Christian Louboutin Pigalle Spikes 120...  Read More..

Beyonce isn’t letting her pregnancy slow her down one bit. Or alter her love of super high heels. The “Party” singer was spotted in New York yesterday in a casual-chic fall look that was less-maternity; more everyday woman. She paired a red padded-shoulder jacket with a white top and an Alexander McQueen Leopard Skull Scarf, which she wore with blue maternity jeans. Her choice of footwear was really the star of the show though – she rocked the 5″ Alain Quilici Payson Skate Lace-up Booties. With a pair of dark, cat-eye sunglasses, she looked camera-ready, as always. Love...  Read More..

Singer/actress Beyonce may be several months pregnant but she’s still serving up fierce competition to her fellow fashionistas. She attended the Tory Burch Madison Avenue flagship store opening on Sept. 13 in New York City wearing a black Michael Kors pre-Fall 2011 leather-Bodice Gown with mid-waist cutouts and a full skirt. Naturally, her hair was worn in long, wavy blonde curls, and she accessorized her look with Lorraine Schwartz earrings and a black Alexander McQueen clutch. Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester wore the same black dress back in January, at the special screening for her...  Read More..

File this under: “Don’t wear unless you’ll be walking the red carpet with an 8+ member entourage to help you along.” Because you’ll need ‘em all, and maybe a few more. Alexander McQueen has done it again – created a pair of shoes that are both utterly amazing and highly impractical. The Fall 2011 collection features mostly wearable shoes, but these Alexander McQueen Metal Wedge Sandal look like they have a place in the “Savage Beauty” exhibit. These white leather and shiny silver metal wedges measure in at 5.5 inches but the slope of the sole...  Read More..

Like most young girls, I always loved playing dress up in my mom’s closet. She had tons of fabulous shoes and clothes that I would get lost in for hours. Fast forward many years later and I still love playing dress up – mostly, in my own closet. So when I was invited to a “Dress Up With The Outnet” blogger and editor photo shoot, I couldn’t resist! I showed up at Jack Studios, which looked like a dream come true! There were racks and racks of clothes from theOutnet, plus endless designer shoes, and a table full of jewelry and handbags. I couldn’t wait to try...  Read More..

Have you been a Naughty Girl this year? Don’t worry – there won’t be any lumps of coal left in your stocking. Like our muse, Rihanna, a Naughty Girl is simply a good girl gone bad. But not in the normal sense of the word ‘bad’. Our Naughty Girls just want to have fun and spice things up a bit. And that includes their fashion sense. They’re risk-takers, trendsetters and on to the next ‘It’ thing before most of us have had a chance to adopt the previous one. They shock us and awe us, and we can’t wait to see what they do, or wear next. They’ve...  Read More..

It’s pretty much unanimous amongst those that appreciate high fashion that Alexander McQueen was an incredible designer, creating incredible works of art and dreamscapes through his work that often paid tribute to the concept of memento mori. He somehow knew the perfect balance between the dark side and luxury, and what better way to pay homage to his genius than by our current fab find of the week selection, the Alexander McQueen Skull-Embossed Zip-Top Tote. The epitome of chic, this bag features tonal topstitching, a dash of golden hardware, with the mainstay of skulls appearing on crocodile...  Read More..

The fashion world suffered a huge loss today. On the heels of the start of New York Fashion Week and several weeks before before he was set to unveil his new collection at Paris Fashion Week, it has been reported that iconic fashion designer Alexander McQueen has died. Reportedly, McQueen took his own life, three years after his close friend and mentor Isabella Blow, herself committed suicide. McQueen, in our eyes, was a fashion innovator and genius. He took all the right risks, always pushed the envelope with his creativity and continually made us fashionistas fall in love with his fashions, time...  Read More..
