Long Live McQueen

In light of the recent, tragic death of one of fashion's finest, I find myself unable to rouse interest in posting. Sans la Mode is about my inability to picture a life without fashion - but I cannot, as of yet, picture fashion without Alexander McQueen. His fearless designs were what brought me to love fashion and to appreciate it as an art, and it distresses me that I will never meet him or experience his genius first hand.

Alexander McQueen, you were my one, true love in fashion. You gave the world so much to be thankful for.

May you rest in peace.

Le Cirque

{Anthropologie}

I'm a firm believer that nobody does a catalog like Anthropologie, and this month is no exception. Somehow, their flirty dresses and vintage vibe fit so perfectly into an arid desert campsite, the fantastical imagined world of the traveling circus. Spring can't come soon enough!

You Have Bewitched Me, Body and Soul

{Blazer | Dress | Headband | Ring | Heels | Clutch}

Despite my usual inclinations to wrap myself in all manner of dark and cozy hues, I've found sudden inspiration in the purity of white. Maybe I'm craving its bright cleanliness against the dull grays of the city... but more likely, it's because I just watched the newest version of Pride and Prejudice and fell in love with the stunning, youthful effect of white on a woman. It's fresh, feminine, delicate - conversely, it's also sleek and modern. A perfect combination, no?
