All Alexander Wang for Linda Farrow Spring 2010

Lately I've been thinking about the times when I found something that I needed to have, whether on the runway or on the street. When I was a kid, it was Steve Madden platform sneakers. Middle school hit and it was a Kate Spade messenger bag and a Michael Stars tee. Now that I'm (almost) grown up, and have developed a more sophisticated style than the bubble jackets of my youth, my heart belongs to one man - Alexander Wang.

I fell in love with Wang's grab-and-go style when I saw my first studded-bottom Rocco bag and I haven't turned back since. A "Wang-girl" in a sentence: 90's effortless chic with some leather detail, denim and studs, cut-outs, cut-offs and leopard-print booties.

In his Spring 2010 collection, Wang expanded his design resume to include sunglasses. He paired up with Linda Farrow to create some amazing shades - tortoise shell cat eyes, zipper outlined - yummy!
