The height of fashion: Alexander McQueen’s 12-inch heels

Alexander McQueen’s models hit the catwalk in sky-high heels for his Paris show, WOW. Our first question after seeing these amazing shoes was how on earth did Alexander McQueen’s models walk down the catwalk in them? Answer: not very easily.

The gaggle of stunningly attired models strutted gingerly down the catwalk (along to the debut of Lady GaGa’s new single) in crystal-studded and animal-print 12-inch heels as part of McQueen’s Plato’s Atlantis collection, inspired by Charles Darwin’s The Origin Of The Species.

Alexander McQueen dressed the models in short, reptile-patterned, digitally-printed dresses in greens, browns, blues and aquas with bold hairstyles and these killer heels to finish off each look.

Amazing outfits and incredible shoes – another fantastic show for Alexander McQueen.

But a trend we’ll be rocking? We’d love to say yes, but possibly not!

Ok I might be showing my lack of fashion knowledge but while these shoes are cutting edge they kind of freak me out. It looks like some kind of mutant cloven foot. What do you think?

I love these colors and can’t wait to try the new RGB line. I need to get my hands on a bottle of the Pre-Fall collection in  Toast and Haze!

THE RAINBOW CONNECTION

A new nail polish company finds inspiration in the color wheel.

If Wet’n’Wild is the Lindsay Lohan of the nail polish world, then RGB is the Audrey Hepburn.

Simultaneously classic and modern, the new L.A.-based beauty company curates the act of painting your nails. Rather than fill the line with trendy colors that come and go every season, RGB culls together timeless shades, and then puts a sleek spin on them. So completing the RGBten lineup (as the year-round main collection is called) are reds, purples, grays whites, and pinks.

NYLON SUBSCRIPTION

Which isn’t to say that the beauty brand is boring; like Hepburn, who inspired everything from oversized sunglasses to cropped black pants, they’ll also be introducing a seasonal series. First up are “Haze”, “Steel”, and “Toast”, which are all variations of the so-hot-right-now muted gray.

It’s not just simplicity in design that defines RGB; it’s also simplicity in ingredients. The chip-resistant formula—which is made in the USA—is chemical-free, so there’s not formaldehyde, toluene, or DBP in the polishes.

These home fragrances will leave your house smelling absolutely amazing. They put all other diffuser’s to shame! They smell so wonderful, I was so excited to learn about this brand. Want to start shopping for Christmas early? Check out these amazing products!

Casa di Francesca offers a breathtaking line of Italian made glass diffusers and hand crafted accessories. Their extensive fragrance list gives consumers more than 30 intoxicating blends to choose from; you’re certain to find a scent to fit your home’s personality.

Inspired by the four seasons, Casa di Francesca brings Old World European excellence to homes through an array of Italian-made diffuser fragrances and hand crafted accessories. The best part is that these exotic scents are within reach without ever having to leave the comfort of your own home. www.casadifrancesca.com

The Casa di Francesca creations began in the summer of 2008, when the Borgheses traveled to the Hills of Tuscany, Italy. Several months later, Casa di Francesca Home Fragrances were launched. During its first year, the business has generated more than $2 million in revenue. This alone has set the stage for Casa di Francesca to be prosperous.

My two favorite scents are:

Tuscan Peach Blossom: Spring in Tuscany and pastel blossoms meander like a leisure parade through the gentle rolling hills. Yet, there it stands… conspicuous and distinctive… the deep pink, vibrant Peach tree, in full bloom and in its fragrant glory, making its bold statement amongst this soft joy.

Deep Lilac: Francesca discovered the secret of planting deep purple Lilac bushes where they could brush against open windows and let the spring breezes carry their glorious fragrance indoors. The scent of Lilac captivates and adds a timeless elegance to the outside and inside of any home.

Casa di Francesca products are available through casadifrancesca.com and the Home Shopping Network.
