Alexander McQueen

I was blown away this morning with the news of Alexander McQueen's death. It's a sad day when such a creative talent passes away. I was only at his fall show in Paris a year ago watching his genius at work, a true visionary he worked well in advance of his peers. His last collection Spring 2010 was my favourite collection of all who showed, the incredible reptile and botanical prints and the mix of colours. But my all time favourite Alexander McQueen show moment was when Kate Moss appeared as a hologram at the end of his show in 2006. May he rest in peace.

Patrick's choice

What would I do without Patrick Mcgreal, our resident photographer for Style Me Romy, his pictures never cease to amaze me. He's also my Valentine and husband, so I better start saving for these Burberry shoes!

Bag and blazer from Prada (02 9231 3929)

I agree with Shay Thomas, Prada Australia's PR and Advertising Manager, a light weight blazer and this gorgeous Prada bag would be on my wishlist for Valentines day. There's nothing sexier than a unisex look this season I say.
