The Skull Scarf - Alexander McQueen - Plus Target Rumours...




I love Alexander McQueen skull scarves - they have been around for a few seasons now and are still selling like hotcakes. It seems the "rock chic" look is still definitely in.

Now one of his signature styles, the skull scarf has become a key staple piece in any fashionista's wardrobe.

I've heard Alexander Mcqueen is to design a line of clothing for Target - a cheaper priced line, but just as fashionable. If this is true, then this will be great news! I loved Temperley's Target range, which featured her trademark bold black and white combinations. Luella also created a funky range for Target, featuring skulls, cherries and other quirky designs that Luella is famed for.





If Alexander McQueen for Target's range goes ahead, i am curious to know what it may turn it out like. Although famed for his skulls, i am unsure as to whether this will be a common feature in his Target range. Skulls in his range have become synonymous with high price and luxury, so i can't imagine the Target range featuring any skulls in the same league has his main collection. Maybe tiny skull accents would be good, like a small skulls at the bottom of a t-shirt. I've done a little mock-up below of how i think this would look good.

You see, McQueen can flaunt the skulls all he wants to in his mainline collections, but i think he will stick with relatively plain designs for his Target collection, but still letting his fans know it's him by featuring a small skull accent. However, McQueen may decide not to use the skull at all...it will be interesting to find out! Let's hope the Alexander Mcqueen Target range will be arriving soon- and be available all over the world!


Wrap Up Warm With The Best Scarves - Your Guide Of How To Choose


It's approaching Winter, ladies! Before you pull out that old scarf from years ago, think about all the wonderful designer scarves available today and consider updating your wardrobe. The scarf can "make or break" an outfit, so you need to think about the following:

Textures: Don't put a thick woolly scarf with a floaty cotton top; the two will clash in all the wrong ways.

Colours: Think about complementary colours for your outfits. A rich plum coloured scarf will look fabulous with a mottled grey jumper, making sure you'll be chic this winter.

Length: A scarf too long for you will drown you if you don't wear it properly. Wrap it round several times, being careful not to drown your petite neck. If its just not working; forget it.

Small scarves look great as accessories any time of the year - tie them like a neckerchief and wear with v-neck tops and a cinched waist belt for that ultimate glam look.

You don't have to spend a fortune to get the best scarves - swap silk for satin and cashmere for cashmink - who will ever know?!

Ladies Accessories and The Perfect Bag Solution!


When it comes to women's spending, there is little that can get in the way of that designer handbag habit. Wherever we go, us ladies need to have a handbag permanently attached to our arm!

Ladies accessories come in all different forms, from scarves to gloves. But the handbag is one accessory that we just can't seem to live without.

Marie Claire reported on a recent study of 'handbags' not long ago, and it emerged that we spend a staggering 76 days in a lifetime rummaging through our bags. That covers all those times you can't find your keys or makeup, and you end up looking you have a mini version of the Mary Poppins handbag that seems to have a bottomless depth! This has happened to me many times, and, frankly, it is just embarrassing.

I think most women want ladies bags to be as stylish as we are, and we hate looking like a contortionist in the middle of the street trying to find various items in our bags. So, the hottest thing on the market right now is the new 'Bagatidy' which is like a portable section of your bag where you can keep all your possessions and then move it from bag to bag as necessary, so you never lose anything or leave anything behind at home when you change bags. This is a great idea!

Ladies bags are forever littered with the rubbish we throw in there, so why not get organised and invest in a Bagatidy. The only thing you have to remember to do then, is transfer the Bagatidy to each new bag! If you're lazy like me then you may just prefer sticking to the old way. We can't help it; it wouldn't be a proper night out if you didn't have to rummage in your handbag!
