Kate Middleton's wedding dress

all rights reserved http://www.glamour.com/

She looked so gorgous in her wedding dress, which was designed by Sarah Burton from Alexander Mcqueen. Alexander Mcqueen is amazing unforntunatley he did kill himself-R.I.P- so he can't design any more clothes but his brand lives on and as you can see still has a large influence on fashion today.

Kate's dress, which is sure to spark of so many trends around the world, was elegent, sophisticated, flowing, graceful, gorgous and femminine. It wasn't revealing or tacky it had jsut enough of everything so that it looked royal. She genuinly looked like a super pretty princess. And as my friend Nick would say " shes a DILF"

Details
Designer: Sarah burton from alexander mcqueen.

Why she choose alexander mcqueen: It is traditional british couture and according to the official websiote which i haven't been on but i saw it through another site it is "traditional workmanship"

The lace: It was "hand-made by the Royal School of Needlework, based at Hampton Court Palace and the design was hand-engineered using technology invented in ireland in the 1820's.

The style
The style of the dress was very femminine but sophisticated. The nipped in waist line showed off her tiny tiny waist making it look even nicer. The train and skirt trailed behind her to give a gorgous silhouette. The lace was intricite and floral but not over the top. Overall it had just enough of everything to make it a timeless classic and an influentcial gown for years to come.

How can you get the look?
Ok, ive put together a short movie maker presentation with different fashion items for everyday, swimwear , work and night. Just to give you an idea. Took me ages, thats how much i lve you-anyone who reads this blog. If it doesn't play, dont tell me or i think i wil kill myself.

Royal Wedding perfume

haha yh you heard me apparently Kim Weisswange says she was asked to create official royal wedding fragrances. This has yet to be confermed by the couple but yh. The perfumes ideally represent their personalities, The perfume titled William is a sporty, direct, manly scented fragrance wheras Catherine is a soft, rose and mognolia perfume. I thought this was really funny but um yh you probably think its great. It just seems so cheesy, dont get me wrong im happy their getting married, happy i get a day off school and looking forward to seeing the dress (which by the way is being designed by alexander mcqueens brand, not him because he commited suicide...). But to wear the scent? does it smell like a wedding? by wearing that do i smell like the next queen of england. im not sure. what do you think? But to seal the deal, each perfume bottle comes with its own heart shaped locket and inside it you will find a picture of the couple. (LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL) calm thats actually quite sweet if they gave it to each other, but on a perfume bottle it all seems very commercial.

All i can say is lol and i hope they dont let me down with the dress. i shall look forward to reveiwing the wedding and the couture. xx

xx Love Pixie xx
