Posh style @ the Royal wedding

Are you jealous of Kate Middleton? Not only did she manage to tie the knot with one of the hottest bachelors around (Prince Wills) but she also officially became the Duchess of Cambridge, and became the envy of all fashionistas who watched or heard of the wedding - and yes, this all happened in one day!  So we all know she looked great, and oh lord am I a little obsessed with how she looked on the big day... the hair, makeup, dress - it was all done to perfection.

But for those of you who did watch the wedding you may have noticed that there were many guests who attended who's choices in out fits are also certainly worthy of a mention.

The first obvious fashion guru to look out for would have been Victoria Beckham (a.k.a posh spice). She stunned the crowds wearing a Navy dress from her own line Victoria Beckham.

With the sophisticated number, she wore a classy and pretty bulky matt clutch bag, with stiletto heels and a hat placed in front of a pony tail. Okay, so this look might not be one that most of us could wear and get away with, but as always Victoria Beckham pulled it off in flawless style probably making other guests green in the face with jealousy. Well done Posh!

Kate & Wills: The dress!

Every girl (secretly) dreams of growing up and marrying a prince. Well yesterday - as those of you from the UK should definitely know, that dream became a reality for Kate (Catherine) Middleton.  Having been on and off for a little over nine years, Prince William finally tied the knot with Kate at Westminster Abbey in London.

Thousands of people gathered around the root from the palace to Westminster Abbey to have a look at the royals, the celebrities but most of all to catch a glimpse of Kate in her Alexander McQueen wedding dress. The likes of Vogue, ELLE and all the other fashion gurus have been referring to her wedding dress as the best kept secret in fashion for the last decade. They praised Sarah Burton at the house of McQueen for her work, and could not have explained any more how gob smacked they were that they had managed to keep the beautiful gown as such a secret. 

 These pictures show Kate Middleton herself minutes before being announced wife to Prince William of Wales - and can you really say you've ever seen anything quite like it? Didn't think so.

 Sarah Burton told The Telegraph:

"I am delighted that the dress represents the best of British craftsmanship. Alexander McQueen's designs are all about bringing contrasts together to create startling and beautiful clothes and I hope that by marrying traditional fabrics and lacework, with a modern structure and design we have created a beautiful dress for Catherine on her wedding day . Catherine looked absolutely stunning today, and the team at Alexander McQueen are very proud of what we have created."

I think it is most probably safe to say that high street wedding dress designers will be mimicking this design for years to come - and why not! We all deserve to look as beautiful as this on our wedding days.

That summer time feeling...

It is the beginning of Spring, but feels to me like the beginning of Summer. I will not be going on holiday this year, so wont be drinking cocktails out of pineapples (yes, I am jealous of those of you who will be doing so), but this doesn't mean that I wont be sipping on them whilst sat out in the sun reading through my back issues of Elle Magazine: after all that is my idea of harmony.

So having thought of what cocktails I would like to try first  in the 'come and get a sun tan' weather, I decided that I would have a go at making some. One that i surprisingly have never tried, but have always wanted to would be the cosmopolitan. To make this super sophisticated looking cocktail you will need a cocktail mixer as well as a fabulous looking glass (or pineapple) to put it in! 

So here goes... 

You will need:

•   1 shot vodka
•  1/2 shot triple sec
• 1/2 shot cranberry juice
•  1/2 shot lime juice

Add ingredients to cocktail mixer, shake shake shake, and your done. However or wherever you drink it, remember to drink responsibly and enjoy your day / night!

What is your ideal summer drink? Will you be drinking yours out of a pinneaple?
