The Royal Wedding Hats!

Kate Middleton is known for her love of standout hats, or fascinators. This regal accessory was also a popular choice for attendees of her wedding to Prince William. Now don't get me wrong, I love hats too. They can be worn in so many ways, with so many different looks, both casual & formal. However, I do draw the line, & most of the hats worn by attendees of the Royal Wedding cross that line. You know, maybe its just me, I do like simple stuff. I just don't see why anyone would want to wear a forehead hat lol

 Here are some pictures.

The Royal Wedding Dress

Bride & Groom looking very happy.

? I can't say that I have been waiting anxiously for this moment, but its here, so I am ready to embrace it. The Royal Wedding has been the most talked about event of 2011 so far. Everywhere you go, every television channel - its all been about The Royal Wedding

? For me, well my main concern is the dress. And i must say, Kate Middleton did not disappoint. The beautifully blushing bride looked absolutely elegant in a long-sleeve lace, ivory and satin gown with flattering V neckline and 8-foot-long train, a simple lace-edged veil and understated (for royal standards) tiara sparkling over her half up, half down hairdo.

The beautiful gown was designed by Sarah Burton, the creative director of British fashion house Alexander McQueen! How fabulous is that! I think the dress was a perfect balance of modernity & tradition. She actually kinda reminded me of Grace Kelly.

The bodice and skirt's lace applique was handmade by the Royal School of Needlework, while the dress is made of ivory and white satin gazar. The pleated skirt was made to resemble an "opening flower", and the bodice, which was "padded at the hips, draws on the Victorian tradition of corsetry." Kate's ivory duchess satin heels were also courtesy of Alexander McQueen. And well, who can forget the bling. Queen Elizabeth II lent Kate the Cartier-designed "halo" tiara, and the teardrop diamond earrings were a personal gift from her parents.

All I have to say is beautiful :)

Lady GaGa covers Harpers Bazaar May 2011 issue

Pop icon Lady Gaga covers the May 2011 issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine which will be in stores very soon. Miss Gaga speaks about plastic surgery & what it is to be an artist.

She tells the magazine "I have never had plastic surgery, and there are many pop singers who have. I think that promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification." Well Gaga, what's up with the cheek bones or whatever that it on your face? Is that not harmful artistic expression? Don't get me wrong here, I am a huge Gaga fan. I love her. She says plastic surgery is bad, but is her modifying her body with the cheek bone & shoulder  stuff good? I don't think so. I think that too is sending the wrong message to her fans, & may even lead to people wanting to look like her. She was so not "Born this way".

We Still Love: Studded Stuff

Studs are still all over the place. Oversized for a bag, plenty when it comes to shoes and strategically placed on jackets. Where do you like yours best?

How to wear a shirt over Leggings

I am a huge lover of leggings. And as much as my better half dislikes them, they're still a staple in my wardrobe. Leggings do more than just provide some much needed coverage under a super-short skirt, but they also provide tummy control (which some may need, and others don't). But for me, what's best and most important about leggings is that they are comfortable.

Now that I have confessed my undying love for leggings, I'm going to tell you my pet-peeve when it comes to ladies and leggings : They don't wear the right top/shirt with them! Ladies, no matter how fabulous they are, they aren't pants, which means you have to be careful of your shirt length.

I am going to give you a few tips I hope will help.

1. Cover your butt.
When wearing leggings, you want to make sure all your bits are covered. Leggings are so super-fitted that if you wear a shorter top, you could look a little over exposed. However, don't wear a shirt that looks like a maxi dress over your leggings. Your shirt length should be below your butt, but still above the knee.

2.T-shirts
If you want to look more casual, opt for an over sized 'boyfriend-inspired' T. The great thing about an over sized T is that they're long, roomy, and just as comfy as the leggings. You don't want to wear a regular T-shirt with leggings. Add heels  if you want to dress up the look.

3. Tunics are fab
I love wearing tunics with leggings. It really looks great. What's especially nice about a tunic is that they are often a bit longer, and more roomier than regular shirts or tops. And what's even better is that the volume at the top balances out the fitted leggings at the bottom, so you will look balanced.


4. Blouses are dressy
Leggings are casual, are by all means cannot be worn everywhere. However, you can still dress them up so that they are appropriate for some outings. Adding a blouse will take your look up a notch. Try a white cotton blouse, or a more luxurious silk blouse. And don't forget a great pair of heels.

How Long Can You Go?

Loving the way they rock the maxis in their own way. They are all so inspiring!

Loving Balmain

I just love this brand. Pierre Balmain founded his Parisian fashion powerhouse in 1945, and dressed such style icons as Ava Gardner and Brigitte Bardot. And after his death in 1982, a slew of designers including Oscar de la Renta took the helm, and the label is now under the creative leadership of Christophe Decarnin. The master of tough luxe, Balmain is the cool girl's destination for ornately embellished outerwear and spray-on leather pants.

Here are some pictures from Balmain's Fall 2011 Ready-To-Wear collection in Milan.

Charlotte Ronson at New York Fashion Week

I must say I was quite surprised when I came across this collection by Charlotte Ronson, and actually like what I saw. I previously had it in my head that just was just another wealthy socialite who got famous for famous because her friends wore her clothes. Not true. I can appreciate her sense of design and style. I like wearable clothing, and that's exactly what this is. I could see myself in almost every piece of this collection. It's feminine, but not too feminine.

Love this floral dress.

I adore this over-sized grandpa cardigan.
It looks so cozy.
