Casamento Real: Vestidos da Mãe e Irmã da Noiva no Jantar Nupcial
Se para a cerimônia religiosa Carole Middleton - a mãe da noiva - já havia acertado, no jantar nupcial ela encerrou com chave de ouro sua participação! Mais uma vez discreta, ela optou por um longo preto em tecido plissado e camadas. Adorei!
Bom, e Pippa Middleton, impecável na cerimônia religiosa, também caiu na graça dos fashionistas! Para o jantar nupcial usou um longo esmeralda lindo!!!
Casamento Real: Vestidos para Festa de Dia
Como o casamento de William e Kate foi celebrado de dia, o dresscode exigiu vestidos mais curtos, porém muito elegantes! Os tons pastéis e tecidos opacos foram os escolhidos! Os chapéus foram um capítulo à parte, eu adorei o da Princesa Letizia, com as abas menores. Reparem que em todas as fotos acima, os sapatos são super discretos, nos tons da roupa ou nudes, para não errar!
E ela foi de McQueen
O mistério do mundo fashion finalmente acabou.Kate foi vestida num Alexander McQueen feito por Sarah Burton.O vestido tinha ares clássicos era sóbrio e atemporal com um véu displicente e uma poderosa tiara emprestada pela rainha Elizabeth.As pregas da saia de tafetá deram um caimento perfeito ao vestido que tinha cauda de dois metros.O buquê era simples também como a decoração da Abadia.Os acabamentos de renda deram um ar romântico e chic.Este vestido mostra uma mulher segura de si que teme novos desafios e que hoje pode ser chamada de princesa de Gales.Os chapéus das convidadas também chamaram atenção e as headpices (a maioria era Philiph Treacy)idem.Algumas eram eram meio que equivocadas e de gosto duvidoso,mas outras um conto de fadas...
E o vestido foi aplauido por estilistas como Valentino,Kaiser,Hubert de Givenchy,Oscar de la Renta...

COOTD GRANDMA BOOTS
My Uh-Uh, if you don't remember her--read up about her here, had some serious ass kickin' style back in the day.
I can just go ahead and check owning a pair of vintage booties off my list.
I just need to get these suckers REsoled... the bottoms are pretty much WORN OUT.
I need to figure out how much that's going to cost --eek--
Any who... back to the outfit:

Vestido de Noiva: O Casamento Real
Finalmente chegou o dia do nosso conto de fadas moderno chegar a seu ápice, com o casamento do Príncipe William e de Kate Middleton! E, na minha opinião, foi tudo muito lindo! O tão comentado vestido de noiva ficou a cargo de Sara Burton, atual responsável pelas criações da Alexander McQueen, e estava MARAVILHOSO!!!! A noiva estava maravilhosa! Simples, elegante e digna de realeza! Adorei tudo!
O vestido de noiva para o jantar nupcial, um tomara-que-caia com a cintura marcada (e que cintura!), também foi criação de Sara Burton.
A irmã da noiva, Pippa Middleton, também chamou a atenção, estava deslumbrante num longo branco sequinho.

The British ROYAL Wedding
Okay, be honest. Who watched the British Royal Wedding LIVE? No matter who you are, how can you resist a beautiful wedding? I admit I shed a few tears.
My interest in the wedding grew exponentially this past week. I watched a Lifetime movie with my Mom based on Catherine and William... and I was in! So then, I had every intention of waking at 3am to watch the entire live coverage, but I decided sleep was important. At 6am, I watched what I could of the live portion, and caught the wedding ceremony when E! played the encore. Thank goodness for the encore on E!
The wedding was fabulously traditional, yet modernized and lovely. The wedding fashions were breathtaking! I am hereby promoting hats and fascinators at weddings, luncheons or whenever us ladies feel a hat would be a perfect addition.
Catherine's dress was phenomenal! The dress was a McQueen masterpiece by Sarah Burton. The dress fit Catherine perfectly and was reminiscent of Grace Kelly's wedding dress. Catherine made the dress her own though. I also loved that Catherine did her own makeup. I respect that she is a self-sufficient woman who knows what she wants, and she wanted William to recognize her. Admirable.

Remember when I told you I was being romanced by #MOBD...
Well Senor Future Baby Daddy lived up to his word!
I'm a few weeks late on my update post for you, but here it is:

I most definitely DID NOT expect this!

Updates and Giveaway!
First, I just want to let you know that I'm sponsoring a giveaway on my cousin's blog. There will be 2 winners of the giveaway... one will get a wire rose ring and the other will get a butterfly ring. It's super easy to enter, so head on over and check it out!
Second, you have probably noticed some changes here on the blog. I have a new banner and buttons, a lighter background, and I'm bidding adieu to a few things, namely Music Monday, Here Not There, and Good Reads.
Music Monday is ending because it's fulfilled its purpose. I had some really awesome music I wanted to share with you guys and I did that, so instead of going broke buying new music to share every week, I'm going to leave it as is. You can always find past Music Monday features by searching "Music Monday" in the search box. If I ever randomly come across a great new artist I'll be sure to share, but it will no longer be a regular feature.
Here Not There is ending for 2 reasons. Reason One is that it took a really long time to make the posts for it. I had to find duplicate items, save all the images, combine them side by side, put prices on them, and then put them into a post. It took forever. The second reason is that I almost always ended up buying something when I spent that much time looking at pretty stuff online. I've been spending too much money lately, so I'm hoping to significantly cut back on the time I spend drooling over ModCloth, Ruche, and all the other online shops I love. As with Music Monday, you can search "Here Not There" in the search box for all theold posts, but I will not being doing any new ones.
Good Reads is not actually ending... it's just migrated to the sidebar as a blog roll instead of its own page. I will be adding more blogs to it later, but I won't have as many listed as I did on the Good Reads page. There's about 100 thousand blogs that I love and I wish I could list everyone, but unfortunately I won't be able to do that.
Well that was probably more explanation that anyone actually needed, but oh well.
Third:
Gorgeous. Absolutely perfect. I love it.
Not gonna lie, though, I'm kinda mad at her. See, I've always wanted my wedding dress to have long sleeves, possibly lace ones. I know that's pretty old-fashioned, but that's kind of why I liked the idea of it. But now that Kate wore this dress, you just know every one and their mom is going to want to get married in a dress with long, lace sleeves and within a few years this style will be totally worn out. Not cool, Kate.

I got this purse from 58bluebirds on Etsy. It's super cute and in nice condition. She's got a few other purses I'm eyeballing... if I make some sales soon I may just have to snap them up!
I'm going to be applying some changes to my blog today, so if you are here and everything looks funky, I promise it's only temporary! Well, at least I hope it will be temporary. I have a feeling I will probably screw something up, so keep your fingers crossed that that's not the case.
