A Fantasy/Reality Wedding!

We were all glued to the TV early this morning watching the stunning Kate Middleton marry her Prince, but here is my own little coverage on that fabulous dress that renamed Kate as the modern-day Grace Kelly. Designed by Sarah Burton - from the house of Alexander McQueen, the dress was adorned with hand made lace created by the Royal School of Needlework. The style was definitely modern Hollywood cool with minimal details and a small 2 foot train. Her veil was also handmade with an embroidered trim that complemented the lace on her sleeves. Looking at her bridal look, she portrayed elegance, modernity and a touch of her own personal style as well.

As for the designer herself, having been part of the House of McQueen since 2000, she outdid herself by creating this masterpiece that left millions of people in awe. Here are a few of other pieces that are part of her Autumn/Winter collection, we can see how the square movement of fabric on the hips area is reflected in many of her pieces, however she did tone it down a bit for the Royal Wedding, but who could blame her!

Oh My Lavender!

Something new I'm obsessed with is the smell of Lavender. L'Occitane have amazing products with the scent of Lavender that remind you of the smell of spring in the South of France ... these are my newest purchases from there!

I have always wanted to step away from my blue jeans for a day and step into the world of trousers and chinos. Although I always had the impression that trousers as such needed long legs I think I am going to go for this trend this season and take the risk I always wanted to take!

Since summer is getting closer we are starting to itch for sandals and wedges. Although never really the sandal type of girl, I usually opt for a wedge like heel that would work perfectly well with jeans, shorts or a breezy summer day dress. Surfing the web, I found the perfect wedges for the season with embroidery and to our luck, it comes in all shades, prints and colours. Perfect to fit any style!
