Sarah Burton Does McQueen Proud

If you were impressed with Sarah Burton's work for the SS '11 Alexander McQueen collection, then prepare to have your breath taken away because the FW collection is absolutely brilliant!

Many people were unsure that Sarah Burton would be able to fill the very large shoes of the late Mr.McQueen. However, she won over the critics hearts with her debut collection for the brand with her SS '11 collection. Now, it is time for F/W and Burton has created a line so exceptionally beautiful that I think Alexander MQueen is looking down on her with a huge smile.

Amy Winehouse x Fred Perry

It has only been a couple of Halloween's ago when everybody wanted to dress up as Amy Winehouse. Even Karl Lagerfeld couldn't resist that dirty beehive and those dramatic cat eyes for inspiration on Chanel's 2008 ad campaign (and no Snooki, you didn't revive the fifties hair trend). Now, she's back with a pin-up inspired collaboration with iconic British label Fred Perry. And what happens when Wimbledon prep meets dirty fifties? Gingham, Hawaiian print, and the brand's classic laurel logo combine to make cute, sartorial magic. Check out the collection here.

The Russian on the Rise

Known for its frigid temperatures and vats of vodka, Russia seems to be a breeding ground for supermodels. Having graced the covers and editorials of countless fashion publications as well as walking miles of runway for the world's top designers, Russian models like Natasha Poly, Natalia Vodianova, and Sasha Pivavorova (to name just a few) cement the country's reputation for having incredibly beautiful women. The nation's latest talent to keep an eye on hails from Yemanzhelinsk and she is steadily making her way to the top; Irina Shayk is the Russian on the Rise of the moment.

Standing at a leggy 5'10", the sultry model has been gaining career momentum since 2008 when she was the spokes model for Intimissimi-at the time was being sold through Victoria's Secret- and made her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit rookie debut. Since then she has stormed the catwalk of Victoria's' Secret, appeared in Guess ads, sexed up the Armani Exchange campaigns, posed provocatively for Spanish GQ, and now she has nabbed the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit '11. She is now making an even bigger impression in the States with her recent appearance on E's Chelsea Lately and made the top 20 sexiest list on Models.com. What's next for the Russian beauty? I for one will be keeping my eyes on this potential supermodel.

American Apparel + Tony Kelly= Perfection

Thank the lord American Apparel enlisted the services of photographer Tony Kelly because, not gonna lie, the charm of raunchy naughtiness was definitely beginning to wear off for me.

Their latest print campaign for is seriously wicked. Featuring blinding neon leotards, funky oxfords, and some very cute but unique accessories; a hard hat, old fashioned headphones, and reading glasses sans the lens. Oh, and let's not forgot the the adorable and extremely limber model. All in all, the campaign is not only fun and kitschy but it still oozes that provocative, sexed-up attitude A.A. is famous for. Except this time it's done much more tastefully!

Trending: Max Out for Spring

Seventies hippie and nineties grunge collide this spring as a flurry of maxi skirts and dresses will surely pop up on the sunshine-paved streets. You no longer have to pick between sundresses, shorts and mini-skirts to celebrate the season. If you're like me, who doesn't plan on emptying my local drugstore's supply of shaving cream, lightweight ankle-length skirts and dresses are just what you need to add comfortably breezy options to your wardrobe that will last through summer.

Wear maxi dresses with tough accessories, cropped tops and open-toed booties with long skirts. Shorties (because not all of us are supermodels) can opt for sheer alternatives to show glimmers of skin. With these babies added to the game, getting dressed in the morning just got a little more interesting. Oh and don't worry, these picks won't make you look like a pilgrim lost in time.
