Friday Favorites

New Jeffrey Campbell 'Mention' Leopard flats.  I rarely wear flats, but I'll make an exception when they are this perfect.
 
 Now that I've mastered wearing heels with socks, these perfectly mismatched Happy Socks from Gargyle definitely require a place on my Happy Feet.  (seriously cute stuff on this site though!)
 Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty book from the Met exhibit.  Need inspiration?  Look no further.
 Awesome new bag of leather scraps I received from Etsy, can't wait to turn them into jewelry this weekend!  Yes I get terribly excited over a bag of someones leather scraps, hey it's the little things right?
 Tan Towels!  I don't know if these alone will make me 'Look Good Naked' but I do have a nice easy glow to start the summer off with them!
'I Don't Know' by Kassidy.  With all the hot girls and boys (the band dudes) in this video, I almost want to commit myself to a mental hospital.  But seriously, check it out, you'll love the song and be singing it all day!

Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty


I had the pleasure of visiting The Metropolitan Museum this weekend and checking out the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibit. It was easily the most stunning thing I've ever seen in a museum (and I have been to my fair share of museums, galleries and exhibits).

I went there specifically to see this show but was not at all prepared for how blown away I would walk out. From the first piece I saw, my breath was quite literally taken away. At several points in the show my jaw dropped to the floor and I had no words for what I was feeling.

The exhibit was expertly curated from the music to the lighting to the room structure. Throughout the show were McQueen quotes displayed on the walls and alongside the pieces that just enhanced each look and in one room were TV screens showing various runway shows.


The exhibit runs through July 31st. It is an absolute must see for anyone that is able to make it to The Met.
