Modern Fairy Tale

So, Prince William made Katherine Middleton a real life princess in a beautiful, real life fairy tale wedding Friday.  I have not seen the wedding yet but I feel as though I have because of all of the media footage. I have to say it was a bit much (but really, when doesn't the media overdo it?)!

I can't wait to see the actual ceremony even though I have looked at that beautiful dress from every angle.  Princess Katherine was gorgeous like we all knew she would be in her gown that was reminiscent of Grace Kelly's wedding gown.  The Sarah Burton design for the house of Alexander McQueen was a beautiful choice.

Pippa's dress was a little more risqué. It could be, of course, because she wasn't about to become a princess! It was sexier than the Duchess' dress but it was no less lovely and elegant. I loved it as well. Thank you, Royal Family, for giving the world a small thrill! 

Congratulations Prince William and Princess Katherine!

Fashion for Japan

Gucci is about to launch a campaign in an effort to send aid to Japan.   Frida Giannini has designed a red and white bracelet with a charm with "Gucci loves you" engraved on it.   All proceeds from the sale of the bracelet will go to The Red Cross Society.  The bracelets go on sale in Japan Saturday and will be available everywhere else later this year.

Oscar de la Renta at the French Institute Alliance Française

One of my favorite things to do is to walk by the Oscar de la Renta store and see what gorgeous gown is in the window.  I'm convinced that the window dresser must be the happiest and the most panic stricken dear on the planet as well as the most gifted!  I am always taken aback and have to stop to take in the beauty that are the creations displayed in that window.

Tonight Oscar de la Renta will speak in New York City at the Art de Vivre series of the French Institute Alliance Française.  I can't wait to hear him!
