Royally Fashionable

I fully admit that I was one of those crazy girls who woke up at the crack of dawn to watch the Royal Wedding. Kate Middleton is the picture of glamour and perfection every time she steps out. Whether she is attending a Royal function or going to shoot some birds, she looks fabulous. What I love about her is that she doesn’t always play to trends because she knows what works for her and what fits her style, a style which she has managed to define during the last few years. She stepped out at the London premier of Steven Spielberg’s War Horse wearing a gorgeous nude and black Temperley dress. It is just reminiscent enough of her wedding dress to remind us of how perfect she looked as a bride. 

Her style is classic, effortless beauty, but I am waiting patiently for her to do something surprising and daring! Some color or even just an updo perhaps? Either way, she is gorgeous! Happy 30th!

Sunglasses in December? Why, yes, I will! During a recent two hour delay in the Orlando Airport, I found myself in terminal’s Sunglass Hut pondering the benefits of Aviators vs. Wayfarers. Lo and behold – move over 2011 eyewear and say hello to the 50s again! I moseyed on over to a pair of Tory Burch’s new cateye frames and viola – instantly chic!

Cateye frames have been out for a few months now, a trend that has be catapulted by Ms. Kourtney Kardashian herself. However, the exaggerated versions seem to have some sort of clause denoting them only fit for gorgeous celebrities because I’ve never seen them work on anyone else…except for this non-discriminating version from Tory! 

Check them out on Tory Burch’s site here. Not a fan of the cateye look? Check out the Rounded Aviator Sunnies – another one of my favorites! 

 

Purse Alert

LuckyBrand is one of those stores that I don’t frequent often, but I am always pleasantly surprised when I do. On the day after Christmas last year, I found the most perfect pair of black skinny pants at LuckyBrand that always seem to look good with everything and now wish I had bought 10 pairs! Keeping the tradition going, I went to LuckyBrand a few days ago, secretly hoping I’d find these magical black pants again. I didn’t find black pants, but I did find a great pair of red skinny cords and fawned over this trendy piece of arm candy. It was on sale and I would have nabbed it had I not just made a recent Coach acquisition just a few months ago. This bag has the flexibility to wear it cross-body, over the shoulder or handheld; it has space galore for all of a lady’s favorite knickknacks and the color is just snazzy enough to make a statement without screaming. Plus the faded gold works as neutral so you can wear it with virtually any color. Check it out here!
