The British ROYAL Wedding

Okay, be honest.  Who watched the British Royal Wedding LIVE?  No matter who you are, how can you resist a beautiful wedding?  I admit I shed a few tears.  

My interest in the wedding grew exponentially this past week.  I watched a Lifetime movie with my Mom based on Catherine and William...  and I was in!  So then, I had every intention of waking at 3am to watch the entire live coverage, but I decided sleep was important.  At 6am, I watched what I could of the live portion, and caught the wedding ceremony when E! played the encore. Thank goodness for the encore on E!

The wedding was fabulously traditional, yet modernized and lovely.  The wedding fashions were breathtaking!  I am hereby promoting hats and fascinators at weddings, luncheons or whenever us ladies feel a hat would be a perfect addition.

Catherine's dress was phenomenal!  The dress was a McQueen masterpiece by Sarah Burton.  The dress fit Catherine perfectly and was reminiscent of Grace Kelly's wedding dress.  Catherine made the dress her own though. I also loved that Catherine did her own makeup.  I respect that she is a self-sufficient woman who knows what she wants, and she wanted William to recognize her.  Admirable.

Fashionista Alert: RACHEL ZOE

Celebrities tend to look ultra-amazing on the red carpet and many in their daily life also.  Many celebrities are polished and poised.  Their outfits are custom-tailored to their already beautiful bodies making for near flawlessness once the photos are taken and hit the magazine stands.  So how do these celebrities manage to maintain their polish?  The answer for many celebrities is that it takes a great team behind the celebrity to help with hair, makeup, styling and assisting.  I'm definitely not saying their beauty is tainted by the extra help.  It just puts a certain perspective on celebrity.

One person who deserves credit for many of "Hollywood's" best dressed is RACHEL ZOE, stylist extraordinaire.  She is not only a fashionista and a celebrity fairy god-mother, she is also a reality star (celebrity in her own right) and a new mom. 

I just recently discovered her website/blog at www.rachelzoe.com and subscribed to THE ZOE REPORT.  I highly recommend subscribing now.  Try it out, and let me know what you think.
