THE ROYAL WEDDING DRESS

As I was talking about wedding dresses last week, i thought that today would be a perfect day to do it again since Prince William and Kate Middleton got married this morning (ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!)

"An Alexander McQueen dress with ivory and white silk gazar with hand-embroidered English and French Chantilly lace and 58 organza-covered buttons snaking up the back. It had a discreet v-neck, long lace sleeves and a train that measured nearly nine feet long. Middleton’s slender waistline was emphasized by the gown’s narrow bodice and slight padding at the hips." The Daily Beast 

JORDAN!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!! YAYAYAYA

 

FOREIGN FASHIONS (COSTA RRRRRICA!!!!!!)

As I traveled to Costa Rica for a week over spring break, I was noticing the fashions throughout all the towns we were in. San Jose, La Fortuna, Sitio de Mata, Dominical, and much, much, much more, brought me to a stop!!!! (a good one)

What's Coming Up This Spring

While at the new Forever 21, I was greeted with many-a new item. And many-an old one.
First of all, the 80s. Are. Back.Wide neck sweaters, pops of neon, it was insanity.
I thought those trends ended 40 years ago.
However, there were some pleasant surprises. Us Germans are in luck!
Though we may need to adjust the length... and add patters...
Overalls are in again! Or, moreso, jean shorts with denim suspenders.
Anyhow, you can get these in springtime floral patterns and colors!

I personally think they're really stylish, considering how they can look. This F21 wears them in a very trendy way, with a floral top underneath. So, this is what they call overall-shorts at Forever 21. Since I couldn't find a picture of the other kind, stop by a Forever 21 near you and take a look- there's some really cute stuff!

Another spring trend, as Jojo predicted, is indeed platform heels and wedges.
Colorful or patterned, you can pick these cute shoes up anywhere. Luckily, last year at the Bring 'N' Buy, I bought these super-cute Banana Republic wedges. WIN. Haha, I knew they'd be in style sometime or another!

Mine look like these, meaning straw heel. They have black closed-back leather though.
So... welcome spring everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted I've been reading this.

And I thought Tim Gunn's book was good!
"When was the last time you wore a cape to the opera? Or white gloves to lunch? Why did we ever do away with bed curtains or cuckoo clocks? Whatever happened to parlor games, calling cards,double features,duels,monocles,riddles,turbans,and parasols? Well, lets bring them back!"
This book has everything from recipes( I just made the fruit soup ) to sayings to quotes, it,s a must read.
