today was a fairytale

 Before work I saw an hour of the ceremony. Yes I woke up early, 5 am to be exact! I was not able to watch the entire day. I did get to see her in THE dress. The dress was beautiful! Alexander McQueen! One of my top picks. Click here to see what I picked. In case you missed the Royal wedding. Here are all the special moments.

Fun facts about the Royal Wedding:

  • Kate is first to wear her hair down. its been tradition that the Brides wear it up.
  • Prince William is now referred to as His Royal Highness Duke of Cambridge
  • Catherine is now referred to as Her Royal Highness Duchess of Cambridge

  • Catherine's tiara was borrowed from the Queen. It's a 1936 Cartier Halo. Given to the Queen when she was 18.
  • At Westminster Abbey the bride had to wear sleeves.

This look is so comfy and definitely a repeat when I'm running around town.

outfit of the day: fall favorites

These outfit posts were from last years' blog posts. You maybe wondering why? I have been consuming soup and cough drops for the past 5 days-I have been sick with a cold. Instead I have a flashback of my look from fall last year. I'm looking forward to showing you all new looks and innovating new with old pieces from my closet. ļ»æ

I'm wearing Maybelline Mineral Power in Rose I'm wearing Mark. blush from natural palette Blush colors: from left to right E.L.F in Coral Mark. Natural Palette Mark. Clutch on the go palette Maybelline dream bouncy blush in pink frosting Maybelline minerals power in rose Mark. Clutch on the go palette (2nd color) My many different blush color choices thru the seasons. I choose coral and neutral colors during the summer and when the fall/winter come I change to pinks and rose colors. My skin is a medium tone and rose/pink colors look best. If you are a lighter skin tone (like Emma Stone or Rachel McAdams) I would go with apricot to coral pink colors for a natural look. Hope you have a magnificent week! ļ»æ
