S/S 12 Trend - Waterfall / Mullet Hemline Skirt

This has to be one of my favourite styles that has emerged this year. The waterfall hemline, also known as the 'high-low' or less attractively known as the 'mullet', has come back in style for summer.
I used to see it a lot on eBay when I was scouring for vintage pieces that had been reworked but I'm glad its gone mainstream. Seen on the  spring/summer 2012 runways at shows like Diane von Furstenberg and Alexander McQueen, it has been a popular style that's been popping up in a number of high-street shops.
I particularly like it because unlike some maxi skirts which I often find too short this combines both a mini/midi with a maxi skirt and I personally find is quite a flattering shape.

 I have a few I can wear with tights at the moment but I'm particularly looking forward to wearing pastel versions when (if) the sun comes out and summer truly begins.

Alexander McQueen A/W 2012

From all the A/W Catwalk shows, one of my favourites had to be Brit, fashion staple McQueen. Since inheriting the designer's chair, Sarah Burton's fourth catwalk show for the label had to be the best collection so far. 

Layer upon layer of frothy and fantastical pieces took centre stage and was a beautiful mix of futuristic yet feminine dresses. 

How the models balanced in heel-less shoes in the voluminous looks is beyond me but the looks were ethereal and the glowing, bubbling baubles above added to the theatrical dream. 

If you get a chance you must take a look at the whole collection. They are certainly not every day where but more, works of art.
