England 4

As you know by the Royal Wedding the Monarchy know how to celebrate.  So it comes as no surprise that to celebrate 60 years on the throne we went all out for our Amazing Queen.  

Just to name a few of the events.

The Epsom races.

 how happy does she look?

how fab is Macca's Guitar?

& of course the country came out in the 1000's to celebrate with the Royals.  I bet the energy in front of the Palace was amazing!

Those not in London as usual took the party to the streets! Nothing like a street party in England with some cheeky masks & drinks.

How gorgeous do Prince William & the Duchess look on their way to the Crowning this morning?

Had I been home show my patriotism I probably would have avoided the hustle in London & opted for a picnic or street party.

For my outfit seen as Queen Elizabeth was crowned in 1952 I took inspiration from the 50's for a fun look.  I am in love with the Topshop high waist shorts & silk top.  Adding a little edge & a modern twist I choose some McQueen flats & had to add some patriotic nail art!

Anniversary Date Night!

Sunday I spent most of my Day re watching the Royal Wedding.  Could Catherine have looked anymore beautiful?? Such a little girls dream gown!

In honor of the couples anniversary I decided to pull together a flirty date night look for Catherine. 

Now being Royalty Catherine must show modesty in her clothing, so I opted for her classic nude pumps as she is not supposed to wear open toes anymore.  I may be breaking some Royal rules with the Oasis dress though, I am pretty sure the Queen doesn't approve of sleeveless looks.  Wouldn't it look amazing on the Duchess though?? She should be able to show a little skin when out to dinner with her Prince, right?

As for the earrings I am obsessed, how gorge? such a statement seen as no necklace is needed with the neckline of the dress.  Finally as a little throwback to her wedding day I added a McQueen box clutch!

What did/would you wear on your first anniversary??

SAG Awards

As I sit and watch the SAG Awards I can't believe how many people wore red tones.  They all looked great but I don't get how the fashion industy all know what color will be on trend.  Do they call each other up and say Spring 2011 we all must use hues of red?  I really want to know how that part of the industry works.

So I didn't see all the of the Red Carpet Coverage but my two favorites so far are:

Mila Kunis in Alexander McQueen

Sometimes Alexander McQueens gowns are too much for me, so dramatic and theatrical that I only think they would work on the runway or Lady Gaga.  However this gown is stunning.  Just the material alone would look great in almost any shape dress.  Mila looks lovely, confident and comfortable in the gown, I love her loose waves and smokey eye make up too.

My other favorite was Mariska Hargitay but I cannot find any photos online of her or who designed her dress.  She wore a classic strapless gown from what I could see in a gorgeous royal blue with a beautiful pair of aqua stud earrings.  I hope there are some pictures tomorrow so I can see the full outift.  I have to say I am a little disappointed she didn't win Best Actress in a TV Drama, SVU is one of my favorite shows and she is amazing at potraying the character. 

Well its almost 10 pm and I need to watch the Kardashians in NYC they are my fav guilty pleasure :)
