Fab Designer Watch -- R&Em

Everyone knows that I feel accessories are essential to life, I mean an outfit isn't complete if it doesn't have that statement piece whether it be a bag, ring, necklace, or fun headpiece. I am an admitted accessory hoarder lol I have purses, belts, rings, earrings and bracelets for dayyysss, *shrugs* a girls gotta have options!

I came across the cutest purses from R&Em, an upcoming accessory designer. They recently celebrated the launch of their S/S 2011 collection at Macy's and it was hosted by fashion blogger Keiko Lynn. R&Em carries a great selection of leather totes, coin purses, laptop and Ipad cases as well as cross body bags. I really love their pieces especially the studded laptop case and the prices are A-MAZING!! The price points for the pieces range from $15-$88, and they are real leather, I swear it can't get much better than that! For any of you fashionista's that are interested in purchasing pieces from the collection you can check it out at Macy's or you can visit them at www.shoprandem.com. Check the pieces below!

Runway Fab -- Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen S/S 2011 Show

Sarah Burton, Alexander McQueens successor proved she was able to maintain the high drama and keep McQueens s/s collection just the way McQueen would have wanted it. There was a lot of detail in his collection, the pieces were so intricate and beautiful, unusual, flowy and feminine just how McQueen would have had it.

I'm in love with the dress made out of wheat, its so creative and seems like something Gaga would wear. The fluttering butterfly dress is a dream, I LOVE butterflies the colours are absolutely stunning and the structured shape of the dress is sexy! I didn't know what to expect from this collection but as you can tell I'm really pleased, I feel like McQueen was a part of this collection so Sarah Burton did an amazing job, Kudos! Check some Liipstik faves below!

Designer Watch -- SHAKUHACHI is from "Down Under"

Here are some pics from a new brand thats breaking into the North American market. It comes straight from Australia and has been around since the early 90's and started off as a t-shirt company.

The brand is called Shakuhachi which is Japanese for Bamboo flute. Here are some pieces from their s/s collection definately giving off a bohemian rock and roll vibe and I'm feeling it. Can't wait to see what they have in store for f/w!

Diary of a Fab Stylist -- Rachel Pfeffer's Designs

As we've seen on countless occasions I'm completely obsessed with accessories, in particular rings. I stumbled across this pac man 4 finger ring and fell in love instantly! Like how cute is that? I loved Pac man so how how cool is it to have the chomper stylin on your finger.

So being the "Curious Quenci" that I am I wanted to see what else the designer had in store and I fell in love with practically all her pieces like the bow earings, her necklaces and her rustic vintage inspired rings. To create her pieces she uses mixed metals, crystals and precious stones! Loves it!
