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.
What was your favorite part of the British Royal Wedding?

Fashionista Alert: RACHEL ZOE
Celebrities tend to look ultra-amazing on the red carpet and many in their daily life also. Many celebrities are polished and poised. Their outfits are custom-tailored to their already beautiful bodies making for near flawlessness once the photos are taken and hit the magazine stands. So how do these celebrities manage to maintain their polish? The answer for many celebrities is that it takes a great team behind the celebrity to help with hair, makeup, styling and assisting. I'm definitely not saying their beauty is tainted by the extra help. It just puts a certain perspective on celebrity.
One person who deserves credit for many of "Hollywood's" best dressed is RACHEL ZOE, stylist extraordinaire. She is not only a fashionista and a celebrity fairy god-mother, she is also a reality star (celebrity in her own right) and a new mom.
I just recently discovered her website/blog at www.rachelzoe.com and subscribed to THE ZOE REPORT. I highly recommend subscribing now. Try it out, and let me know what you think.
Enjoy Spring and have fun with your style. As always, please email at cs.stylelife@yahoo.com or call me at (618) 401-1434 with questions, comments or to book an appointment. Thank you.
Have a fabulous day every day!

Welcoming Spring Into Your Wardrobe
Spring 2011 is upon us, yay! Let the sunshine pour in the windows (on days the rain subsides). Spring is a time of rebirth, reawakening and really bright, beautiful colors and styles. Spring is beautiful in nature and in fashion. Is your wardrobe spring ready? If not, it's time to reinvigorate your closet.
Spring 2011 trends include, but are not limited to, caramel browns (especially for shoes), nudes (for every skintone), florals, lace, 70s inspired flavors, Bohemian updates, mini dresses, updated maxi dresses and tea length skirts. Braids and beach-wave hair are definitely a do when styled accordingly for the occasion. Small barrettes are the hot hair accessory of the moment. Spring makeup is generally more sun-kissed and fresh, but bright eyeshadow is perfect for spring (and summer).
While shopping for spring clothing and accessories, remember to have fun and be positive. You are beautiful, and your body is unique to YOU. You may try on several items that may not work for you, but you may also find several items that do! So keep that last part in mind. Please don't worry about the size tags. Focus on clothing that fits, flatters and boosts your confidence. The ultimate goal is to look and feel fabulous, not to worry about what size you wear. We are usually our toughest critics, but show yourself some love. You are amazing so your clothes should emphasize just that.
And you have standards. When trying on different pieces, remember to aim for only purchasing clothing that rates at least an 8.5 out of a 10 scale. L-O-V-E each piece you buy; otherwise it may just sit in your closet taking up the very valuable boutique closet space.
Speaking of closet space, how much clothing do you have stuffed in your closet that just doesn't fit quite right? If you do not already have a tailor, I highly recommend hiring one- definitely worth the small investment. Some dry-cleaners, clothing stores and tux rental shops have tailors on hand. A tailor can help you transform an ill-fitting piece of clothing into a custom-like favorite, if there is enough material to do so.
Have a very happy and fabulous spring! As always, please email me at cs.stylelife@yahoo.com with any questions, comments or to schedule an appointment with me. Thank you.
