Congratulations HRH The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!

The much anticipated kiss!

Today is the day! The wedding was magical and exceeded all of my expectations. I must admit I did shed a few tears! I know it has been said countless times but the dress was stunning. I let out a little cheer when it was revealed that it was designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. What was particularly touching about the ceremony was the way in which you could really feel the love and warmth the couple share for each other. Especially when Prince William greeted Kate at the alter with the lines every Bride wishes to hear from their Groom "You look beautiful." and indeed she did.


Other highlights of the day were seeing the Queen drive to the Abbey with a blue blanket (speculation is mounting it was a slanket) it was so cute, she is 85 bless her! David Beckham arriving with his OBE medal on the wrong side oops! The bridesmaid Grace Van Cutsem covering her ears on the Royal Balcony, and for those who missed the presence of the late Princess Diana apparently as Kate reached the alter the sun came out leaving many of the crowd to speculate it was her presence.


I also enjoyed following the proceedings on Twitter as it gave the coverage another dimension. Especially seeing the amount of Americans who got up especially early to watch.
I have always been a Royalist and it is days like today that really make me proud to be British and part of a rich heritage.


Tomorrow I will be posting the pictures from the MINI dealership that I helped decorate for the royal wedding but for the rest of the evening I'm going to be watching all the highlights again!

Let The Countdown Begin!

The Happy Couple!

It is now less than a month until the Royal wedding and there is an air of excitement in England at the moment! Although some people feel that taxpayers money could be better spent during a time of economic austerity, I can't help but feel it provides us all with something lovely to focus on. For those who aren't Royalist or bothered by the Royal Wedding just be grateful for the four day weekend!

Today, We've Mostly Been Eating...

The Enticing Bag 

The Beautiful Box

Hmmm, Where Did They All Go?

Today, I was lucky enough to receive a big box of my favourite Laduree Macaroons! I even shared them with my Beloved. (A sign of true love) I was really impatient and didn't even wait to get tea, instead I gorged myself on them and now feel rather sick! Luckily they are a rare treat so I don't feel in the least bit guilty! 

Girl Crush

I love the Oscars not just because I love films but for the fashion on the red carpet. Mila Kunis may not have been nominated for an award but she truly was the winner of the night in the style stakes. I can't tell you how much I love this look, the lavender lace is positively ethereal. Mila has been on my beloveds radar for some time and it is pretty obvious why!

Happy Valentines Day!

Valentines Day is not just about showing someone how much you love them. For those of you who have a cynical view of today perhaps look at it from a different perspective... St Valentine doesn't just represent love and couples, he is also the Patron Saint of bee keepers, epilepsy, fainting, greetings, plague, travellers and young people. 

Jane Austin, Pride and Prejudice (1813)

“A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment”
