The Duke and Duchess Of Cambridge

I had decided that I WILL NOT do a post on the Royal Wedding, because every blogger on my feed would cover it (as they did)


Since you are reading this post, clearly I gave in.


I am so kicked that William got the title of Cambridge. 

William`s god daughter does NOT like the noise!!

HAHAH!! I love this picture, and its SO true :)

Sarah Burton adjusts her creation.

Another Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen dress.

I love the embellished belt and the angora wrap.

And she let her gorgeous hair down :)

Driving away in a Vintage Aston Martin. The 'L' is not for LOVE or anything mushy, it stands for LEARNERS PERMIT !

HYDE PARK

True DAT
And its VINTAGE CARTIER fyi.

The royally delicious cake 

Something old: The bridal gown, from Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, featured “traditional Carrickmacross craftsmanship,” a lace technique that dates back to the 1800s.  

Something new: Her parents gifted their daughter with custom-made diamond oak-leaf earrings with a diamond-encrusted acorn set in the middle, a nod to their new family crest.

Something borrowed: Kate’s tiara, on loan from the queen herself, per royal wedding tradition, is a 1936 Cartier “halo.” 

Something blue: We can’t see it, but a blue ribbon is sewn into the interior of her dress. 

Some dresses she COULD have worn

VERA WANG

KARL LAGERFELD

GUCCI

MONIQUE LHUILLER

NINA RICCI

VALENTINO

ALBERTTA  FERRETTI

BADGELY MISCHKA

PRABAL GURUNG

Even though it was pretty obvious from the start that she will be wearing a British designer, if that was NOT the case I think the VALENTINO one is just fabulous, and would have been brilliant on her!

WHICH ONE DO YOU PICK?

Anne Hathways Seven Oscar Dresses

7 Dresses Maaf

Which one did u like the best?

I can`t pick a favourite. So I`ll tell you which ones I wasn`t really digging. 


The Vievienne Westwood didn`t do much for me nor did the first dress  she wore on the red carpet.

                                  




I absolutely LOVED the rest of them.  Well obviously all the looks were amazing. My dream job boss a.k.a Rachel Zoe can do no wrong!!

                                         

                            She stuck with the Versace at the Vanity Fair after party 

Trend Report Part Deux. Rock The Trend Deluxe Edition!

So here we are finally at Part II of my Trend Report 2011

Print On Print

The easiest way to do this would be to just wear one dress which has the whole print on print theme going on but where is the creativity in that?

I would keep the accessories to a minimum or have really light ones. Keep the shoes to a solid colour so as to not go overboard.Same with the make up.
The best part of this trend is you get to mix and match a lot of things.
But you should remember to combine patterns that compliment each other. Like Stripes + Florals, Stripes+Animal Print. Stripes can generally help and play the role of the basic print to which you can add another print.
If you think the outfit will become very chaotic then space the prints out. Its not necessary to have ONE print on ANOTHER. Like in the first outfit the solid black shorts give a break between the polka dotted stocking and the floral sweater.
Another thing to try is to use different size of prints.

That 70s Show

You can Raid your Mothers Closet for this one!

Ring, Hoops and Bangles from FOREVER 21

Similar wedge platforms available there RIGHT NOW!

I love the wide leg pants. Don`t particularly like flared ones tho. Prefer straight wide legged ones.

Derek Lam

As I mentioned before, I would love to see some one like Malaika Arora in wear this trend. She would make it look so effortless and simple

Minimalism

A complete COLOUR LOVER, I find myself reaching for more of neutral shades these days. I don`t really know why. Something about the winters, makes you want to wear neutrals even though you make an effort towards colours.

Anyway. I didn`t think I`d like this trend very much but clearly it has grown on me. It can me you look so elegant and chic without much effort.

There were so many good examples of minimalism on the red carpet at the Golden Globes.

The key to this trend is Accessorize Wisely

Colour Blocking

The reddish pinkish skirt I have used is really similar to a red skirt I bought at forever21 last week (will do a haul next! )

They have so many colours in a solid stretch jersey skirt. A must have basic!

Bangles from F21

Yes. I am looking forward to wearing this trend. HOW did you know?

Another really fun trend where you can really play around and mix and match lots of things. Yes it is a little bold but don`t worry, you`ll really enjoy wearing this. Just keep the accessories neutral so its not TOO jhataak. 

ITS A LONG STORY

So the story about long skirts and me is that when I was in 8th and 9th grade ethnic long skirts (specially from fabindia, Anoki and Janpath) were all the rage. At every get to gether or party me and my friends could be seen wearing these. And we all made it a point to buy lots and lots of them.

 As we grew up we found out love for dresses skirts and the long skirts are still stored away in the top most section of my wardrobe, untouched for years. 

Even if I try out this trend, I am sure I would be steering clear of the ethnic long skirts. I think I have been there and very much DONE that.

So I have tried very hard to put a 'maxi skirt' look together, without it looking too matronly.

I choose a somewhat structured skirt with layers as opposed to flowly ones for that reason.

Some skirts from ZARA. 

Also they have an amazing sale on:)

If any of you have tried these trends or want to, Take a picture and send it to me! I would love to do a post on you!
Also if you have tried any of the other ROCK THE TRENDS (Boyfriend Blazer, Lace, Military Jacket ) send me a picture : )

Hope you`re having an awesome week!
