FIT FOR A QUEEN

Sarah Burton also designed the Duchesses of Cambridge's evening wedding dress. Elegant and timeless just like Kate/Catherine. This morning I woke to alerts about official wedding photos up online, if you want to see quality pictures of the whole event I suggest The British Monarchy's Official Flickr photo stream... Seriously social...

KATE MIDDLETON ROYAL WEDDING DRESS DESIGNED BY SARAH BURTON

Today was the big day! When my alarm went off (at 6:45am) my boyfriend and I turned the bedroom TV on and caught the end of the Royal Wedding ceremony, at Westminster Abbey. I was so excited to catch the announcement of William and Kate's name; Duke and Duchesses of Cambridge. I watched/listened to the carriage ride to Buckingham Palace, and paid attention to the Royal Family (Buckingham) Balcony Appearance and the newlyweds first kiss. Actually, kisses, apparently the first time I royal couple has kissed "pecked" twice. This post is dedicated to the Duchesses of Cambridge (Kate Middleton) and her fabulous choice in a wedding dress and designer. She knows what she's doing...







Designer Sarah Burton who assisted Alexander McQueen for 13 years, and recently became Creative Director for Dior after Alexander McQueen took his life. Sad story but inspiring women.

HAPPY EASTER LOVE FROM VOGUE AND THE FASHION P.A. !!!

I love Easter time. I always enjoyed the abundance of chocolate and painting Easter eggs for decoration. I haven't painted eggs with my niece and nephew for years.. Since I lived in Edmonton, I drove back to Saskatchewan to spend the long weekend with my family. Today I saw Vogue post a link to these unbelievably chic and unique Easter eggs. Aren't they divine? This has inspired my to throw a girl's night next year around this time to drink wine and decorate eggs :)

BEAUTY TREATS ARE SOO SWEET!!!

I stocked up on skin and beauty care this weekend. I should know better than going to Shoppers Drug Mart after payday when it's raining... Most of these items were on my list, but I discovered an interesting new skincare brand, Soap & Glory. They were reasonably priced and it was a perfect time to pick up a sassy new Body Wash, and I also picked up a Glow Body Lotion. I also thought the packaging and expression was sassy, chic, and radiant...

WHAT I'M WEARING: SATURDAY NIGHT

I bought this top because of the cut, colours, and lightweight fabric that would work for both work and play. I also bought it because the colours and stripes reminded me of a top my mom had (I saw in photos) when she was raising me. When I saw the shirt that memory immediately came to mind, I smiled, then I paid :)

Top - ZARA
Skirt - Forever 21
Clutch - Coach
Stacked rings - Juicy Couture
Single ring - House of Harlow 1960
Shoes - Aldo
