MCQ Alexander McQueen vs Oasis

anna — Mon, 25 May 2009 21:04:51 +0000

Zebra print is a season hit! Wild and sexy! Alexander McQueen’s dresses can help you in getting such a look. This zebra zippered maxi top is featured with bold, squared-off silhouette shimmers subtly in rich silk crepe, with the dramatic contrast of black and white in an edgy rendition of zebra stripes, with wide slashed neckline adjustable with double zippers, to wear on or off the shoulder. It’s available at Chickdowntown. However, you can purchase similar zebra print mini dress at oasis.

Also I wanna show you black and white spaghetti strap McQueen dress. Graphic stripes morph into exotic zebra patterning, a smooth 100% cotton. This dress is also available at Chickdowntown. You can though purchase blurred zebra print dress at oasis as well.

SkullSpective to Spring-Summer 2009

This is one of my favourite posts, I call it “Spective”. Either Retro- or AnimalSpective, today is about SkullSpective :) to frighten sticky guys at the party :)
I must say I love graphic tees, and skulls always look interesting and attracting, the last is mostly important :) There is a skull tees set you can try this summer :)
Alexander McQueen is a skull master in some sense: this tank is available at Farfetch, while at Topshop you can find not less attractive one:

Next white tees are by McQueen and dELiAs. Meadow skull tee ($475) is available at Zapos, bird skull tee ($375) — at Farfetch. However, at dELiAs you can find very similar one for much less money, Garden Skull by dELiAs:)

At dELiAS you can also find very funny skull tees: Stars Skull and Sunglasses Skull

Asos also offers quite nice skull print tanks: Floral Skull and Rock Skull. At Net-a-Porter I’ve also found Markus Lupfer Flower Skull sweater, whose flower “face” is very-very similar to Asos one! :) Compare:

Enjoy your scary effect :)

Alexander McQueen vs Forever21

As seen on the runway and in the December issue of American Vogue. Alexander McQueen’s Savile Row tailoring skills make this structured corset dress a show-stopping statement piece. This amazing dress is available at Net-a-Porter with a huge price!

However, at Forever21 you can find affordable version! A sexy strapless dress featuring a figure-flattering fitted style and a corset-like bust with boning all around. Hidden back zipper closure, unlined. The only thing is missing is a contrast flesh insert at the front. Compare:

Totally works for every event! Love this dress, and you?

Leather fuchsia Alexander McQueen flats are really cute for summer. Such sandals are must-have for shorts or mini-skirt, when it’s hot outside. I normally have 3–5 pairs of such beach sandals. These are available at Net-a-Porter for $685, too much for them I think. So, I’ve found very similar at Forever 21 just for $7.50! Compare:

Do you still want to pay for much?
