Monday Must Have Series..delayed

So I'm on the verge of finishing my move to NYC!  Forgive this little Monday series interruption but wait and see what my picks are on Friday instead.  I'm very inspired by all the Must have ladies before me and by the trip to Miami this coming Sunday!!!  My daughter and I and going on a girl trip!!! A lovely little friend is meeting us there too and I can not wait!  We are staying at The Raleigh and their pool has me craving some R&R .......
This is our first girl only trip and Elle is beyond excited too.  eeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkk

Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty...

Do you remember all those fabulously dressed people from the annual ball of the Costume Institute?


Well.... they were all celebrating the new exhibit at the MET.  The exhibition, showcases the late Alexander McQueen's extraordinary contributions to fashion.  From his postgraduate collection of 1992 to his final runway presentation which took place after his death in February 2010.   I had the chance to see the exhibit myself and it was incredible....it's the feeling that you get while in the exibit that lets you understand the complexity of the late designer.  This video shows so much of the exihib but if you are in the city you must go to the Metropolitan Museaum of Art and see it for yourself....it's a MUST!
