I was extremely uninterested and annoyed with all the coverage of the royal wedding, but I have to admit Kate Middleton's Alexander McQueen by Sarah Burton wedding dress was beautiful.

My Pretty Dress
Image: J Crew
I own this lovely J Crew dress and it's even prettier in person. The fabric is very soft and there is a very nice lining which seems to be under appreciated these days. My favorite part is the bow.

Elie Saab Again

Once again another Elie Saab dress I really love. This dress is from the Spring 2011 Couture show and is so so pretty. I love the fifties style flair skirt and neckline and all the beading and ribbon and sheer fabric is beautiful together.

Valentino Suit

There is no outfit more elegant than a classicvsuit, unfortunately they are usually a better fit for women in their forties and older. However this Valentino suit is very youthful and would look perfect on a younger woman. I especially love the smooth ponytail the model is wearing. I think it complements the dress nicely and looks very clean and pretty.
Ribbons, Pearls, and Jewels

It is hard to make shining pearl or sparkling jewel necklaces any prettier, unless you add grosgrain ribbon to complete them.

Grace Kelly

Grace Kelly was unbelievably beautiful, elegant, and regal. She was an extremely beloved actress and starred in movies such as High Society, To Catch a Thief, and Rear Window. She was considered American royalty, but eventually became the Queen of Monaco. She was a fashion icon and Hermes even named a purse after her.

Film Review: Marie Antoinette

I find every shot of the film Marie Antoinette directed, produced, and written by Sofia Coppola and staring Kirsten Dunst absolutely stunning. It is like watching a very girly dream filled with pastel dresses, champagne, pastries, sparkly jewels, and most of the film was shot in the palace of Versailles. From a historical outlook the events in the movie holds very true, aside from the affair which there is no proof of. And while the costumes clearly aren't accurate, they make the film more interesting in my opinion and represent the feeling of the time. I would highly recommend this film for any fashion or history buffs.

At the Pˆtisserie Cador in Paris
"Stepping out in a linen day dress by Christian Dior, a Stephen Jones beret, and Manolo Blahnik shoes, model Audrey Marnay enjoys a treat at Paris's famed salon du thé, Pàtisserie Cador. At her feet, Marnay's elaborately coiffed poodle waits expectantly for a stray tasty tidbit. Arthur Elgort photographed this image which appeared in the March 1999 Vogue." -Conde Nast Store Website

When I was very young I dreamed of being a ballerina, and these photos remind me why...
The Greatest Show on Earth

To me there is nothing more exciting than a new issue of Vogue waiting in the mail box, and I was very excited pleased to see this beautiful spread with Reese Witherspoon photographed by Peter Linbergh. (Aside from the third photograph which was found online.) I am extremely excited to see her new movie, Water for Elephants, as I read the book and could not put it down. The photography is beautiful as are the elegant dresses she wears.
