LONDON – A British coroner cited “asphyxia” and “hanging” as the official cause of death of fashion designer Lee Alexander McQueen, who was found dead at his London apartment on Feb. 11.

Police found McQueen “hanging in his wardrobe” and are treating his death as non-suspicious, according to a statement issued at Westminster Coroner’s Court here following a post-mortem.

“Police are examining a note found at the scene,” the statement added, without providing further detail.

Full results of an inquest into the designer’s death will be heard April 28.

Sad isn’t it. What happened to him?

WIth more regrets,

Here’s a start: Sorbet Shades. All kinds of designers have put the the soft sorbet colours in they’re lines like : Roland Mouret, Fendi, Mark Fast, Burberry , Valentino, Louise Goldin, Marios Schwab, Nina Ricci, Preen, Michael Kors, Versace, Miu Miu, Christopher Kane and Meadham Kirchoff.

Sorbet Colours seem to make quite the impression last month.

How about Isabel Marant, heard of her and her very famous high wasted pants. Madame Marant herself has a very Parisian look in her lines, very chic and casual. Perfect for everday life right?

Here a little hint: Just Dance?

Know the artist already, its Lady Gaga. The new star already a fashion icon, made an appearance at the Grammy’s with her own Armani dress, but in her very much Lady Gaga style.

I am definitely going to keep an eye out for this star on the rise

Cute eh?  Popular question what is she wearing: And H&M skirt and a t-shirt with a Topshop necklace, accompanied by Primark flats/shoes.

This outfit completely from Korea is complete with: skinny jeans, converse shoes, Louis Vuitton canvas bag, a cute scarf/shall and a long sleeve sweater and long sleeve tee to tie it all together.

I don’t know about you; but i like it. The sleeveless black dress with that little bit of bling is just a great young dress for an outfit.

This street chic was found in Paris on december 31st 2009. Don’t you think that  the Converse shoes portray a “casual-cool” vibe to a ladylike outfit.

I kinda adore this outfit. If you ever looking for me– Hint #1- I’d probably be caught in something like this on a Autumn Day in Manhattan- Just saying. I definitely think that the scarlet scarf the gives shades of grey a much more vibrant look.

Don’t Worry darlings, i have more on the street chic: only part 2

-First and for most the Isabel Marant Tracksuit Trousers:

-Now for the Azzedine Alai Wool-Mix Pink Dress with the Ruffle Hem-Line

Cerise : Dolce and Gabbana, Versace, Marc Jacobs, Marios Schwab, Nina Ricci: Many believe that this cerise colour has what is called ‘shock value’. Schwab maximizes this intense shade with decadently rich fabrics.

New Trend: Tracksuit trousers: by definition they are a winning long as long as you stick to the rules.

Tracksuit trousers are basically a classier looking sweat pants that you can wear with heels. However it is important to know that with these pants, SKY SCRAPPER HEELS ARE A MUST!!! There’s no going without them. The basic rules to how wearing these trendy look is:

- should be warn low-waisted

- and slouchy  (normally one size up from your regular size)

- Choose a tapered leg which can be worn long or hoisted up a little to mid-calf.

- Look for drawstring waist.

- Deep Pockets

- THey REQUIRE a ‘tailored element’ aka: a trench coat, a long-line blazer, a sleeveless jacket or a cropped tux.

Hahaha yeah i take my time basically summarizing the entire british vogue mag– but come on, you know you love me for it. Just remember these are the essentials to december- and of course with december trends, january trends come as well, but they’ll be similar don’t you worry.

With the outmost love,

Hmmm i must admit, its not easy to summarize the entire british vogue – november edition but i seemed to have done so… i think This edition is taking the whole ‘ more dash than cash’ motto, and putting it to its infinities. Yes, the entire BRITISH VOGUE, is about how you can buy nice stuff and not break the bank. Who woulda known. Our cover princess: Miss Georgia Jagger, or more well known as ‘Fashion’s New bombshell’! Congrats Georgia!  Out of curiosity have you ever, really dug through your parents closet, cause sometimes you can find some vintage items that would cost you next to nothing (apart from BEGGING your parents to lend it/ give it to you) compared to the same shirt from Givenchy or Alexander MCQueen. Now don’t get me wrong, i love these designers like brothers and sisters, but we don’t all exactly have the money to buy our entire wardrobe from Chanel. If you do : three words: I envy you . One new and really fashionable item newly exposed to the fashion world is the shrug blazer.  I absolutely love them, they are sophisticated but cute at the same time. You can put on a pair of jeans with them, for going out, or a pencil skirt, for more formal events. Now going back to your parents old vintage clothing; i know it sounds strange and also like your parent’s age had no sense in style, but here’s some not so new news. The high shoulder is just an extremity of the shoulder pads. Hope your shivering about the horrid shoulder pad though.
