I know you all read about my experience at the Alexander Wang sample sale last month, and I feel like that only made my love for AWang grow even more! One of the main reasons I love Shopbop so much is because of their selection of Alexander Wang - they sell T by Alexander Wang, Alexander Wang dresses, and they even have an amazing Alexander Wang sale section. They also have an amazing blog - be sure to check out the Shopbop Blog!

Alexander Wang Cruise 2010

So maybe it's a bit of the same-old same-old, rehashing past seasons, but that doesn't mean that I don't still want every piece in the Alexander Wang Cruise 2010 collection. Especially the sweater and bag above, and the cutout and zipper dresses below. What do you guys all think? You can check out the whole collection at Style.com.

What I'm Wearing: DIY Alexander Wang Leggings

Tee: Hanes
Skirt: Forever 21
Leggings: very old, don't remember!
Boots: Nine West Cuzza
Jewelry: Random, Forever 21

I apologize for the horrible Photobooth-quality pictures, but we can just pretend that these pics are really artistic and antiqued or something, right?

Since I had no homework, I decided to sit around cutting up my clothes this afternoon. It was actually pretty productive, because I ended up with these Alexander Wang-esque leggings and a nicely fitting Hanes white tee. The leggings are far from perfect, I'll be the first to admit that, and even farther from resembling the Alexander Wang ones, but now I have a general idea of how to go about cutting leggings so I think I may try it on another pair sometime soon, with (hopefully) better results.

NY, I Love You: Alexander Wang F/W 09.10

You better believe there will be a giant crop of DIY leggings in this style across the blog-o-sphere in the coming weeks (if there isn't already!). Of course, I will be trying this on an old ratty pair of leggings I was about to throw out, why not have a little piece of Alexander Wang-inspired style in my wardrobe? I like this look way better than shredded up, hole-y tights.

Anyways, the Alexander Wang F/W 09.10 collection was not well-received on The Fashion Spot, although it seems to me to be what you would expect from Wang, a little less grungy than previous seasons (is that a bad thing?), and an overall solid, well-envisioned and coherent collection. I feel as though I'm in a very small minority when I say that I did not hate the biker shorts/knee-length leggings, especially in crocodile. It worked for me. I posted a few of my favorite looks below (click to enlarge). LOVE the leather jacket with the fox-fur fringe in the last pic... crazy and amazing. You can check out the whole collection here, and watch a video of the runway show below!

Currently Craving: Black + Zippers

Cool, Casual by Slow and Stead Wins the Race Mesh Sweatshirt
Daisy Marc Jacobs Perfume
Cocobelle Bahia Zip Thong Sandal
Alexander Wang Flare Zip Jeans
Deux Lux Backpack Messenger Bag
Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain Swarovski Crystal Sandals

Well, today's Currently Craving has 2 themes: black and zippers. And I threw in that Marc Jacobs perfume because I love the look of the bottle in black, isn't it lovely? Another random thought - I wonder if those Alexander Wang jeans unzip into 2 separate pieces? If anyone has them or has tried them on, let me know! Because that would be unnecessary, but kind of awesome. Oh, and before you get too excited about the Zanotti/Balmain shoes (I know I was), I should warn you, they are $1,745. *Sigh*.

Currently Craving: Leather and Alex Wang

A free afternoon led to this little collage of my current cravings. The theme seems to be leather and Wang, along with some sweet 501's that I would love to take the shredder to. And how fresh does that white leather jacket look? It would be perfect for the Spring, when it's still too cool to be bare-armed. Also, the incredible Wang bag that Mary-Kate is holding is not going to be released until July for $850, which is quite a large amount of money, but in the realm of designer bags it's fairly affordable. I better start playing the lottery...

On a different note, I'm so sorry about the comment situation, I didn't realize there were 10 new comments bc for some reason I wasn't being emailed by Blogger. I will be responding to your comments asap, and checking out all of your lovely blogs too if you have them!

Ann Demeulemeester Boots

I have recently become obsessed with these Ann Demeulemeester lace-up boots, ever since I saw them on the Saks website with another obsession-worthy piece, the Alexander Wang baggy sweater. How insanely hot are these boots? I love the lacing all the way up the boot, and how the laces wrap around the ankle a million times at the top. They seem difficult to put on, but once they're on I doubt you'll want to take them off. They seem like they'd be pretty comfortable too, as the heel is stacked and only 4 inches tall (I say only because I've been teetering around in 5+ inch heels lately and they are rough!). Of course, I'd need to get the Wang sweater too, because they just go so well together... there goes $1300!Pics from Saks
