The Royal Wedding - Part 1

 This morning, I only got to see a little of the royal wedding, the rest I intend to watch tonight via my BBC America DVR recording! Of what I did see, it was just simply lovely. Lovely is the best word I think to describe everything! Catherine's dress was so similar to that of Grace Kelly (one of my many style icons):

The dress by Sara Burton from the House of Alexander McQueen was nothing less than stunning. I love that she brought back sleeves! I love all the lace and her bouquet (Lilly of the Valley?)

She is just such a beautiful bride, and they make a wonderful public couple. I hope it lasts!

 

 Special bonus of the day> Lilly Pulitzer did a watercolor of the couple!!!

ADORABLE!

Souvenirs for the Royal Wedding!

If you've been reading over the last couple months, you're well informed of my obsession with the Royal Wedding between Kate Middleton and Prince William Wales of Windsor. 

I've talked about the memorabilia, the Best Man, and what different retail organizations are selling things state-side.

Last night I was picking up some craft stuff at Michael's for a post to come later this week (hint: I'm painting my cooler for the Derby Party!) 

I have been drooling over the faux engagement rings that everyone's selling, but I haven't been able to bring myself to spend more than $15 on something so silly.... 

But Michael's had them for $10!!! Totally worth it! Done and Done... 

I plan to wear mine for at least the remainder of the week. Silly, but HILARIOUS! Plus it totally matches my nautical themed outfit today... Perfecto!

Recent acquisition

 

30 more days! I am so excited! I actually have co-workers who are actually taking this day off. Seriously, they're going for brunch with their girlfriends! How fun is that?! In honor of this 'once in a life time' (or in my parents' case, twice), I have purchase the above mug... AMAZING! I know. Get yours on Amazon now! (PS I refused to get anything on Ebay as PayPal is a crock and we're in a fight).

Are you doing anything to celebrate this momentous occasion?
