A Kate Update

Kate carried out her first military role as a royal along with William as they attended a special ceremony in Windsor to mark Armed Forces Day.
So who was she wearing?
Fascinator by: Rachel Travor-Morgan
Earrings: Kiki McDonough
Military Jacket: Appears to be Alexander McQueen 
Clutch: Anya Hindmarch Marano, Shagreen(stingray) in blue
Shoes: Prada Pumps

Of course I cannot forget this charming bracelet. There is a tiara a top a cursive \”c\”. Which is Catherine\’s official seal.


If you wanted to copy Kate\’s shoes, dress, jacket and clutch at Epsom it\’s going to run you over $800. The clutch alone is going to run you about $224. However when I was at Nordstrom searching for a clutch for myself I found an alternative to Kate\’s LK Bennett Natalie Clutch.
This clutch can be found at Nordstrom and will run you about $118

Floppy Sun Hat

Tips & Tricks for looking gorgeous in a floppy sun hat

• Cheaper versions can be found at stores like Forever 21, however they\’ll lose their shape after only a few times worn. If you are in love with the look invest in one from somewhere such as Marley Lilly where you can even have your hat monogrammed!

• Perfect for laying out and blocking UV rays.

• These hats definitely channel a retro look.
So pair them with:
bell bottoms
oversized sunglasses
statement necklace and or earrings
sundresses
sarongs
cover-ups
bathing suits
high waisted shorts/skirts

• The hat also looks trés chic paired with the boho or hippie look.

Bohemian …. the free spirit

Free flowing fashion mixed in with self expression and the free spirit and you have the Bohemian or boho style. Boho is a mix of hippie, gypsy, vintage and ethnic elements. Sienna Miller and Nicole Richie are basically the goddesses of the bohemian style. Create a fabulous boho look by combining designer items with vintage and thrift store finds.

Why my heels are in the freezer and nude is the new black

Have you ever found a pair of heels and absolutely fell in love? Over the weekend I was on a mission to find a pair of nude heels that were a beige with a touch of pink and also affordable. After spending a few hours at the mall I finally found the above pair at ALDO. The downside – they KILLED my pinky toe. However I bought them and was bound and determined to make them not hurt my baby toe.

How to make any shoe fit
So how did I make my shoe not hurt? 

I placed a baggy in the top of my shoe, filled it with water and placed it in the freezer overnight. The next morning I took my heels out of the freezer, pulled out the frozen baggy dried out my shoe and wore it around my house for about three hours. 
The result: My heels stretched to fit MY FOOT.

 There are some classic fashion pieces every girl should own. From the little black dress to the perfect pair of pumps. I am sure you already own at least one pair of black heels. Black is classy, goes with just about everything and is simple enough to dress you up or down. Black may be great, but when you just want to go that extra mile nude heels is the way to go – especially if you are petite like me they definitely give you some length. You already know I am a huge fan of the nude look, and recently talked about my love for nude nails. So let\’s talk about nude shoes.

Tips for buying
• Like nail polish nude heels can work for every skin tone. Just like you would with makeup you have to find the shade that works best for you. If you have darker skin you\’ll want to go for a chocolate or camel nude. If you are medium skin go for a tan and of course if you are lighter you\’ll want to find a light beige. One nude hue that works on everyone is a beige that has a kiss of pink.
• Just as I mentioned with nude polish you want a nude shade that is either one or two shades darker or lighter than your skin tone.

How to wear nude heels
• Nude like black is a neutral color which means it can be paired with almost anything, from your favorite pair of jeans or black dress pants to sundresses and shorts.
• I\’m too short to wear that dress…. shorts don\’t look good on me. Ever find yourself saying that? Well no more! Nude heels will lengthen your legs like no other. Kristin Chenoweth, Carrie Underwood, Eva Longoria and Kelly Ripa basically live in nude heels

{Even the Middleton ladies love nude heels}

Here are some of my favorite nude heels on the market right now for under $100

The many hats of the Royal Ascot

 
The Kentucky Derby has nothing on the hats that have been spotted at the Royal Ascot horse races the past few days. I must say that I wish I lived in England and could attend such an elaborate event filled with some unique hats.

 

What do you think of the hats at the Royal Ascot?

 If I were to attend the Royal Ascot I would probably choose one of these fascinators. Not necessarily the color, but for sure the style.
