First things first, darlings! The winner of CC’s Laura Trevey Watercolor Giveaway is the lovely Not Fashionista. Call Me Stylista ~ congrats!
And now, the houndstooth hype! The classic winter pattern has been reinterpreted and relaunched, with a special thanks to Alexander McQueen, whose runway rambunctiousness has fueled many a houndstooth creation. Runway coverage via style.com except where noted.
