MEEE in GRAZIA!! I know right?

Obviously Im not Carey Mullingan, Im am the over excited comment that appeared in the issue below.

he will be sorely missed...

I don't know if I even dare utter it but Alexander McQueen is dead.

I felt it needed a pause for reaction there...... It is as significant in the fashion world as if the queen herself were to die. Alexander represented an awful lot within and outside the fashion industry. His political fashion was often seen as a little extrovert in many people's eyes. His a/w 09 collection got even to the point of scary when he sent models down the catwalk with overtly 'swollen' lips and blackening eyes. His shows always meant something. S/S 09 he came down the catwalk in a bunny costume with a setting of exotic animal props around him showing his love for the world and all the creatures in it. His A/W set consisted of charred remains of his previous sets for previous shows which demonstrated his strong feelings about environmental issues.

I guess what I am trying to say is that he wasn't just another designer, he was brave. He didn't stick to the trend pattern, notice he was the only designer this seasons to raise the heel up a notch rather than adopt a flat. He represented change and excitement in the fashion industry and I just don't know if there is anyone who can truly fill that void.....

ooooh time to get serious....?

Right so it's valentines day coming up which you either love or hate depending on whether you're single not single, newly wed or on Jeremy Kyle with marital issues. But I think it's time that I introduced you to my other half....

 

NO NOT THAT SORT OF OTHER HALF!!!!!!!

The love of my life, my marc by marc jacobs bag. We are rarely seen apart, we go everywhere together and I feel like I can trust him with anything. I have no idea what I would do if it were ever to 'split'

Right ok corny jokes aside this bag is the love of my life. It was my first designer bag and only one to date. I have a feeling that I will have many love affairs in the future with many other bags but none will quite mean as much to me as me ol' reliable. It is true I have many lovers in the form of Burberry skirts, Chanel wallets and Paul & Joe dresses but there's something about the bag that's as special as the day I got it. There is true love in that bag and I think that everyone out there eventually finds their couture couple that could last longer than a relationship or, god forbid, even a marriage. This is more than just an 'it' bag, this is for life.

   Note, this is not the actual bag. I couldn't find a picture online and I was too ashamed to take a picture of my current battered sack, but let that not diminish my love for it!
