My Five - Alexander McQueen Spring 2013

Ahhh, I can always count on Sarah Burton to bring it.  This collection was all about bees.  Yep, you heard me, bees.  Honeycomb patterns, gold and honey colors, bee encrusted jewelry and embellishment.  It sounds a little cheesy, but trust me in the hands of Ms. Burton it's sophisticated and girly.  As always, I'm consistently blown away/inspired/in awe of anything that marches out on a McQueen runway (I'm sure I'm biased considering Lee McQueen was my favorite designer of all time).  Here are my many picks and trend takeaways, enjoy!

 

 

 

This is my favorite look!

 

 Now for the detail shots - ahhh:

 

Trend takeaways:

1. Gold

2. Tortoiseshell pattern accessories (like an awesome cuff bracelet)

3. Bee jewelry (a nice brooch or two)
