A Reason To Celebrate

 A Royal Wedding is around the corner and that dear friends is cause for celebration. Such an event of style and grace has a tremendous affect on the fashion world. This April 29th at Westminster Abbey the lovely Kate Middleton and the ever gorgeous Prince William will exchange their vows while the world holds their breath.


Already there is a deafening buzz as to the designer of the highly anticipated wedding gown. Daniella Helayel, the brilliant designer behind the label Issa, is in the running as a likely candidate. Helayel designed Kate's gown for the announcement of their engagement. A dress that was immediately imitated everywhere and flew off the shelves.

Kate has already made an impression with her impeccable style and we are very excited for the upcoming marriage and all it entails. We will bring you updates as they stream in, but for the moment have picked some of our favorite looks the Princess-to-be has premiered. 

Riding Boots, for the wet and cold weather.

In LOVE with these Boots!


Hats, very British and sometimes daring.

Makeup Minute

A holiday obsession of ours is the arrival of the MAC mini pigment sets. This highly anticipated event has occured! The tiny, delectable little sets with their variety of colors open the mind to an array of possibilities and are affordable. Their arrival is a bright spot in the darkness of winter.

If you have already purchased your MAC pigment this year and are looking for more great makeup options Sephora is a great place to look for these beautiful little sets. And if you become an "insider", which means you register with them, then for so many dollars spent you get wonderful little samples.  One set they are currently carrying that has potential is the Bare Escentuals Shimmer and Shine Collection:

Another brand that has been deemed a quality purchase in the past is  LORAC. Currently they have a mini palate set that looks dark and dramatic. Great for the little black dress affairs of the season.

We are eager to see what is debuted after Thanksgiving. This year might just be a, stand-in-line-the-weekend-of-Thanksgiving-to-preview-the-makeup-sets, type of year. Don't worry, we will make sure you are along for every step of the ride. Happy shopping!

Quick Clip

We love, love, love the versatility of the "BOB".  This classic hairstyle was recently popularized by Victoria Beckham and it can be worn in different variations by almost anyone. Below are some of our favorite variations of this classic cut.

If you are hoping to get this type of look it is always advisable to bring in pictures (maybe even the ones above), and to be very clear in your descriptive terms to your stylist. Using words like: Bob, side swept bangs,  exactly how long you want the cut to be (below my chin, right HERE) and texturized should help put you and your stylist on the same page. Remember to be very clear on your expectations and your stylist will be able to give you what you want.
