Mini McQueen

Even though I know these have probably been around for a long time, I only just recently stumbled upon the mini Alexander McQueen Armadillo shoes The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York seemed to have given away at one point:





















Absolutely adorable.  I yearn for one of these almost as much as I would a chance to see a pair of McQueen Armadillos in real life!  If you'll notice, there's a tiny hoop at the top, perfect for looping as a necklace.  Wearing a McQueen Armadillo necklace...what a great way to give edge to any outfit.  What a great conversation starter too!





















Remember when McQueen skull print silk scarves were in huge demand after McQueen's passing?  I imagine this would be a more fitting tribute to the late genius.  I would love to have one sitting demurely on my windowsill, a discreet little expression of my love for high fashion.
 
In other news, I've been awarded the Liebster Award by aki!  Thank you so much!  What follows are a couple of questions she had me answer.


1) What is your favourite Nicholas Cage movie?  I haven't seen any.
2) What is your favourite Nickelback song?  I don't listen to them.
3) Do you find yourself using internet memes in daily speech?  No, I don't really find a lot of memes funny.
4) About how many make up products do you find yourself wearing daily?  None.
5) Earrings, bracelets or necklaces?  I would say all, but in reality, I only wear earrings most of the time.
6) Do you bruise easily?  Yes, especially considering all the tight spaces in my residence room this year.
7) Do you burp in front of your significant other?  No significant other, so nope!
8) Do you still lick envelopes?  No.
9) What sound do you hate?  High-pitched Barbie doll voices...
10) Where do you want to be a year from now?  Right where I am now, at school, building up my future.
11) When do you think is the best age/stage in life to move in with your significant other? When you're mature and clear headed enough to see that they really are worth moving in with.

    May the force be with you.
