My Wedding Dress

I'm so in love with this wedding gown by Marchesa:

This gown is called "Emmy" and is a stunning embroidered crepe and feather bottom slip gown. I have been searching for my perfect dress for ages and when I came across this gown I knew this was 'the one' for me. I love the elegant sihlouette of this gown and how the feather detail at the bottom with the small train adds the romantic touch. 

In the past, my ideal dress use to be something like this:-

"Bella" dress by Marchesa.

I loved the fullness of this dress and the jewelled detail belt however my taste has drastically changed and i'm now more in love with the idea of an elegant 'wedding gown' rather than the traditional 'wedding dress'.

 

I do like this lace wedding dress with the backless detail and lace covered buttons. Lace can be hard to pull off as it's such a heavy detail so this dress is not for everyone. Nice but I just love the Marchesa 'Emmy' gown!

So, I now just have to locate this perfect "Marchesa Emmy gown"! The hunt is now on :-)

My Wedding Location

So i'm starting to plan my wedding, very exciting, but oh, lots and lots to think about!
Growing up I've always dreamt of having the traditional white wedding with the big merigune dress although as the years have gone by, my dreams have changed.


It's so easy to get carried away with your wedding plans, but I am determined not too. I'm thinking more along the lines of escaping with close family to somewhere stunning like the Seychells where the turqouise sea and soft white sands will provide the perfect, romantic backdrop to an intimate wedding then have a big party celebration when we return home!
Escaping to the sunshine has it's benefits, it blends in your wedding with your honeymoon and will take away the strain of us having to find the perfect venue, cars, flowers, bridesmaid dresses....the list goes on!
The idea of having a relaxing few days holiday when we arrive on the Island whilst the wedding ceremony is being organised by the wedding planner is so appealing.


Lots and lots to think about!


Check out the beaufitul Denis Island on the Seychells:-

My fiancee and I love animals so a spot of Scuba Diving on our honeymoon would be fantastic as it's something we've always wanted to do but haven't had the chance too.

Bliss!

Prada Minimal Baroque Sunglasses

These sunglasses are named to be the must have for summer 2011.I think these would see you through the winter sun too as these will add the perfect finishing touch of glamour and prettiness to your warm winter coat, boots, hat & scarf!


The detailed shape of the legs on the frames is so pretty and romantic that the wearer will feel like they have been sent back in time to the black and white movies era.

The Kate Middleton Reiss dress

Take one highstreet dress (Reiss "Shola" Dress at £175):-

See Kate Middleton wearing the dress:-

and voila.................a highstreet sell out in minutes!

I personally wouldn't wear this dress but it does look perfect on Kate.

It's amazing the influence that someone in the public eye has on us all. I myself have purchased things seen on some celebs. Take the Bright Blue J Brand Jeans, I first saw them on Kim Kardashian and thought they looked stunning on her so got a pair myself!
It's nice to get some of your influences from others although try to add your own stamp into the mix and make the look your own, after all it would be a boring world if we all looked the same and we are all unique!

Pretty in Preen

This Preen dress features a racer-back top which is embedded with beautiful beads and a more simple pencil style bottom which balances out the overall look of the dress. I love the soft grey shade of this dress, very elegant indeed.

Just in....... J Brand Brights part 2

New additions to the J Brand Brights jeans collection:-


So the Bright Red, Bright Royal Blue, Bright Pink and Yellow J Brand skinny jeans have been a cult hit so i'm sure these fab new shades will be hits too:-


J Brand Bright Purple:

I'm loving the Bright Purple jeans. I'll just need to keep watching for them to appear on Shopbop.com so I can get them at half the price!

J Brand Bright Orange:

J Brand Bright Turquoise:

What colour will you be buying??

Designer V High Street - The cut-out ankle boot

The Giuseppe Zanotti cut-out ankle boot has been seen on many celebs including Kim and Khloe Kardashian as pictured below:-

For a pair of these beauties, don't expect any change from £500.

For the savvy high street shoppers, check out these almost identical ankle boots from Aldo:

I actually got a pair of these and with them, I even got change from my £50!!

These boots look good with dresses or skirts or with more casual jeans or turned-up combat  trousers.
 

My perfect travel outfit

Loose-fitting olive green linen combat style trousers, white tank top, black blazer with turned up sleeves and gorgeous sandals:-

I just got these trousers today from Zara. They are gorgous with my cut-out detail ankle boots (as seen in picture) or with flats. These trousers are also available in Navy.

I'll wear this with flat sandals for travelling on holiday then throw on my heels and a dressy top for going out at night.


The look - My black blazer is from Zara,white tank top by Alexander Wang and the ankle boots are Aldo's highstreet version of the Giuseppe Zanotti cut out ankle boots. Nails - I'm currently wearing a bright pink Chanel nail polish on my toenails called "Riveria" -  the pink clashes well against the olive green trousers and black cut-out ankle boots.

What the Celebs are wearing now.......

Christian Louboutin 'Daffodil' pumps

 

Kourtney Kardashian in nude 'Lady Daffodil' pumps

 

Victoria Beckham in black  'Daffodil' pumps

 

 Beyonce rocking a blinged out pair of Daffodil pumps

With the 6.5" heel and 2.5" hidden platform, these pumps are not for the faint-hearted!

I do really like these pumps although really not sure I could stand up in them let alone put one foot in front of the other in them!!

Jennifer Lopez Hair

I love Jennifer Lopez's hairstyle / hair colour in her new music video "on the floor" which features Pitbull.

What a fab song this is too:-

I'm thinking I might get my hair coloured like this for my holidays in a few weeks! I love the rich brown and warm caramel tones of this colour!


I think J Lo just looks better with age!!
