a royal affair...



the royal wedding party last night was simply 'brilliant' as my stepsister would say. pimms, cucumber sandwiches, bacon cakes, and prince william's favorite cake were thoroughly enjoyed as we watched the nuptials in our fake tiaras. it was a smart move to dvr the event so we could fast forward through the incredibly long procession to the church and the incredibly long (snooooze) ceremony and get to the good parts (liek david beckham of course).

i have to say, i am quite smitten with the new duchess of cambridge. i mean hello, was she classic or what? i loved how she looked like herself on her wedding day, not some glammed up movie star...and i don't care what those nah-sayers think, i thought her ivory silk & lace dress with its tight bodice and modest train was incredible, and smart, and sophisticated and unique. wearing alexander mcqueen (by sarah burton)...modern & traditional all in one, she nailed it! and i love the comparisons to princess grace kelly too...



and i loved tat she wore the queens beautiful, yet understated, cartier 'halo' tiara, not too ostentatious...


seriously weak kiss though, i think they should have rehearsed that part a little more...


loved kate's look back to the crowd, classic...


i am now undoubtedly fascinated with the fascinator, i totally hope these funky headpieces catch on. the most famous milliner, philip treacy, was quite the hit at the royal wedding yesterday... although i think a few of them were certainly misses...
