Mad Hatters

Brits are known for their hats. During the royal wedding, hundreds of guests where in hats that would make your jaw drop. I was worried some of them would fall of their heads...

They call some of these elaborate head pieaces "fascinators". Well, it does fascinate me!

Queen Elizabeth II

Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice (daughters of the Duchess of York)

The Spencers - cousins from Prince William's mother side

Joss Stone

The Beckhams

Other women connected to the royalty and parliament...

Most of the hats worn were made by Philip Treacy, a famous London milliner. Of course we have our very own famous milliner, Mich Dulce, who can compete with international hat makers. Let's join the hat craze! We really should try to be adventurous and explore wearing hats as well! 

Okay, for the next wedding... promise mag hat ako! Mad Hatter peg ko!

Royal Wedding Fever

Not really into the Royal Wedding thing but looking forward to the clothes... and the hats. Excited about the wedding gown most of all. Everything was so hush-hush about it.

I couldn't watch it live coz I was out that night but I did get to see the encore the next day. And also listened on AM and monitored on Twitter. Hmmm... not interested with the wedding, right?

Her dress reminded me of Grace Kelly's. That was what I noticed at once. I know coz I considered that style too for my wedding.

Lovely right?! Kate, or should I say the Duchess of Cambridge, chose Sara Burton of Alexander McQueen to design her gown. Simple yet elegant.

The sweeping train measures just over six feet. According to the official royal wedding website, the dress is made with "ivory and white satin gazar. The skirt echoes an opening flower, with white satin gazar arches and pleats. The ivory satin bodice, which is narrowed at the waist and padded at the hips, draws on the Victorian tradition of corsetry and is a hallmark of Alexander McQueen's designs. "

Sarah Burton also designed her dress for the reception. Another simple white strapless gown.

It has diamante detailing around the waist. What a waist! She adds a fringed white shrug for a modern look. I guess her foray to being a fashion icon as future queen of England has begun.

And now, for the family photo!

Coming out end of April in the US and July internationally, MAC Fashion Flower Collection. I love MAC and I love the lip colors for this collection. I'm a lipstick/lipgloss kinda gal and this is totally heaven for me.

"Bloom brightly with a stylish fusion of the floral and the fashionable in the summer color collection that evoke the cool side of the hottest season.

Ever him join these rare blossoms and succumb horticulturally to bouquet that’s equal parts of fleur and couture."

Crash Diet

I need to be a little bit sexier by end of next month. I'll be traveling to Canada and US and I NEED to look good. Don't ask me why... but I just need to lose a bit of bulge. I think the universe heard me and sent me this in one of the group discount sites I frequently visit...

I bought ten sessions of RF or Radio Frequency Slimming Treatment from MetroDeal. The treatment is from La Estetica.

RF Treatment claims to reduce fat, eliminate cellulite and tighten skin by breaking down fat cells using the radio waves. It's non-invasive. I've actually tried it once when our derma demonstrated it but I couldn't afford the whole package. Now, thanks to discount vouchers like this, I can get the treatment really cheap.
