On Trend: The Blues

I just wrote an article recently on a hot spring/summer trend being lace and sheer. There is one more color that we can add to our shopping bags- blue! In particular, darks blues or sapphire. Can anyone take a guess why this color is so popular? The Royal Wedding and Duchess Catherine of course! Kate Middleton’s sparkling engagement ring, the eighteen carat oval sapphire surrounded by fourteen diamonds, which of course belonged to Prince Williams’s late mother, Princess Diana, is the envy of many young women around the world. The day Prince William and Kate Middleton announced their engagement, Kate complimented her new piece of jewelry with a blue wrap Issa dress, a style that is said to compliment almost any figure. The day following her wedding, where she wore two custom design gowns, Kate rocked a $90 Zara cornflower-blue shift dress. Since her engagement and dazzling fashion choices, sapphire blue is becoming one of the hottest colors to be seen in for the Spring and Summer of 2011. I think I also need to pick up a similar wrap dress to add to my wardrobe! What do you think about this color being on trend? Do you love seeing what Kate Middleton is going to where next, or are you over the Royal Hoopla?

Catherine Middleton a Princess

Kate is a princess. I was one of the many who got up early in the morning to watch Catherine Middleton marry her own Prince Charming- Price William. Kate’s dress had been highly kept under wraps, but it was revealed on Friday morning it is an Alexander McQueen gown designed by Sarah Burton, the label’s creative director. The train was two meters long, and Kate wore a long veil that covered her face as she walked up the aisle. Other highlights of the wedding:
• Kate’s sister and maid of honor, Pippa, looking absolutely stunning in a sleek ivory gown- also an Alexander McQueen.
• Prince William telling Kate she looked beautiful when she finally made it to the altar- I was lip reading.
• Princesses Beatrice and Eugenia and their fashionable fascinators.
• The looks Prince William kept shooting Kate throughout the ceremony. The love was so evident.

The wedding was absolutely beautiful, full of love and romance. Kate was the perfect mixture of a traditional and modern bride, and everything seemingly went off without a hitch. Who else watched the royal wedding? What did you think of Kate’s dress? What was your favorite part of the wedding?
