Happy Princess Day! There’s a lot of royal wedding naysayers out there, but I am always down for a good celebration and this one had fancy hats to boot. After months of fashion speculation Kate Middleton’s dress was finally revealed this morning and it was stunning. The designer was the appropriately chosen Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. A McQueen to dress a future queen. I like the symmetry.
People magazine says, "The dress was made by hand, using French Chantilly lace and English Cluny lace throughout the bodice, skirt and underskirt. The skirt, made of ivory and white satin gazar, was designed to emulate an opening flower: padded at the hips, it flowed out to the floor. The back of the dress was finished with 58 gazar and organza covered buttons fastened by Rouleau loops.”
She looks modern and iconic all at once, and gets 3 snaps in a Z formation. Congratulations to the new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Today is Spirit Day and I plan on swathing myself in purple. Wearing the royal color today is honoring the homosexual teenagers who committed suicide in recent weeks/months due to homophobic abuse in their lives. Purple represents Spirit on the LGBTQ flag and spirit is what we should all be giving to the other countless struggling kids, families who have a forever empty seat at the dinner table and friends who were left behind. As you may have guessed from reading my blog, I am a pretty light-hearted, shoulder-shimmering kind of a girl. But on a very serious note here, I would like to say how much these suicides have utterly broken my heart over the last few months. Without a doubt many of the most influential people who shaped my life have been gay. Fashion designers who inspired me to fall in love with this crazy world, teachers who pushed me to be better and reach farther and friends who supported me through every step of my life. I wouldn’t be the person I am today or writing this right now if it wasn’t for the spirit I was shown by people who happened to be gay. The least I can do is put on a pretty dress.
