Of course, I would complete a post about "The Royal Wedding." It has been all over Twitter, Facebook, television and the world. Whether you are fan or not - America was invaded by the British, figuratively! April 29th, 2011, marks the day Prince William of Wales wed Miss Catherine Middleton. Millions watched one of the most public courtships in history. Were you awake at 5am to take a glimpse at the Royal extravaganza???? I was!! However, it was by default. I just happen to be preparing myself for work. But, behind the tradition and hype, was one important factor! The fashion! POW!
As thousands lined the streets, celebrities and world leaders arrived at Westminster Abbey to witness the reveal of Catherine's wedding dress. All eyes were on the soon to be Duchess of Cambridge as she exited the vintage Rolls Royce. The dress was designed by Sarah Burton, who is the creative director of the late great Alexander McQueen. (She has an amazing collection, by the way). The ivory perfection had a lace print detail and sleeves, with an edgy plunging neckline. While others were in awe of this construction. I wasn't all that impressed to be honest. Don't get me wrong, I thought she looked amazing and the detail was immaculate. The dress was stunning and I loved loved the lace sleeves!! That was my fav part of the dress. I just expected more va va voom! I assumed it was going to be a traditional gown with an edge. I was just expecting more Princess Diana!??

The Royal wedding showcased London's fashions roots and haute couture. The British proved that you do not have be risk-kay to be fashionable. I loved the respectable suits and dresses for the woman, and we cant forget about the hats. They were a must per the invitations.
