It is wedding season is in full!...Who will design Kate's dress?

It is definitely wedding season with every other news feed update having to do with a wedding or a proposal! yay!!! i love weddings... keep telling my girlfriends that someone needs to hurry up and get married because I want to go to a wedding :) but this year the most sought after wedding is the Royal Wedding of Price Charles and Kate Middleton to take place in London on April 29th. That said, every girl knows the most important part of the wedding is... the dress...duh well that is after the ring ;) (just kidding lol)  I just finished reading an article in the USA Today on the Wedding and how different Princess Diana's style and Kate Middleton's style are, yet they're both simple and chic but sophisticated and elegant at the same time.  Kate dresses with such style and poise, and doesn't even have a stylist. That right there is something to admire. However, as of right now, the designer of the dress is being kept under top secret... Maria Puente of USA Today said it's definitely not Alexander McQueen and will most likely be a British designer. I can tell you one thing right now it will not be the size of a cupcake like Princess Diana's dress was. I'm thinking the dress will be a very flowy, simple gown with not too much to distract from the drop dead gorgeous bride that she is. Who is designing Kate's dress????? Any guesses??

Color Couture: Bright White

Between pre-midterm papers and exams and my mini Spring break getaway to see my other half in Miami, and my sister coming home from school to visit, I clearly found it very hard to find time to blog. You can never go wrong with white in the Spring or Summer. The crisp and sharp look that a bright white outfit gives in the warm weather is just beautiful....there is nothing like it especially, for the sun-kissed goddess ;). White Linen pants are my absolute favorite bright white item....(even though I was definitely not that "sun-kissed goddess" while i was in Miami, I wore them anyways hehehe) You can pair them with virtually ANYTHING!! Unlimited possibilities are best! but hey thats what fashion and clothes are for right?!?

the maxi--

Every woman has, what I call her "fat days"...those days when you literally try every piece of clothing on in your closet and nothing seems to fit right...so frustrating, I know. The maxi dress is perfect for those days! I love love love them! They comfortable, versatile and cover up ANYHTHING you're wanting to coverup that day ;) They are so cute for vacations, a romantic yet casual dinner on the beach and everything in between :) You can pair it your favorite pair of flat sandals and a little cardigan and you are set to go! Sweet and Simple!

Color Couture: Red-- The color of LOVE

This month is the month of love :) Kate Spade's Spring Collection has got the best combinations with red in them. They are feminine and classy... my two favorite objectives to describe what a woman should be. In the love spirit, I just changed my nail color to Essie's "Really Red." Happy Valentine's Day!

Color Couture: Coral--

Coral is the color of the season-- For those of you who are a a big scared of standing out in a such a bright color, a great way to tone this fabulous color down is to mix it with a white or neutral color. For example, a white dress would look fabulous with a necklace like the "Oscar de la Renta Bib necklace" below and  pair of coral wedges like the Dolce Vita's or even the Old Navy sandals pictured below :). A coral dress looks so classy with a pair of neutral wedges or heels.
