We all need a little fun and whimsy in our lives. Polka dots are my fun of the week- it’s in the wedding details, vacation dreams, and my post baby dream skirt.
This is, by the way, the color I want in my new soon to be bedroom. However… how fabulous is this Sarah Seven dress. It really just makes me happy, and bursting for a reason to wear a version on this swiss dot beauty. Photography, Brandon Witzel.
I need no excuse whatsoever to love, and pine away for these Polka-Dot d’Orsays.
This Felix Rey clutch… use whatever excuse you need. A bag to carry {pass off} at your wedding works just fine for me.
Vacation dreams + floating in sun drenched water.
This Shabby Apple skirt is on my list, post baby of course. I wouldn’t mind sailing in it either.
The Royal Wedding Fashion Review
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011Kate Middleton made a beautiful, elegant, ultra romantic bride! Her wedding gown and reception gown, both by Sarah Burton, the creative director of British fashion house Alexander McQueen, exuded an understated romantic elegance. She was so gorgeous! I love that her style obviously reflected her own taste. Any modern day bride could pull elements from her look- lace, soft romantic hair, understated tiara, or the in season flowers, for their own wedding. Above the fashion, she truly seemed happy and gracious toward the attention she received. Just lovely, and so adorable too!
Her Cartier tiara (on loan), was made in 1936 and was purchased by The Duke of York (King George VI) for his Duchess (The Queen Mother). Queen Elizabeth received the tiara from her mother on her 18th birthday. The sparkling tiara held Middleton’s transparent veil, made of ivory silk tulle with a trim of hand-embroidered flowers.
I love tiaras and headbands just as much as any Princess! Our Night at the Museum Headband is one of my favorites… it’s not quite as tall as Kate’s, which makes it a bit more accessible to most brides. Oh… and it’s made with Swarovski crystal, rather than diamonds!
Are you planning on styling your look after Kate? Certainly, everyone should wear her smile. Beautiful!
