Kate Middleton: Second Dress

Kate Middleton stunned guests of the wedding a second time in a beautiful dress also designed by Sarah Burton from Alexander McQueen at the dinner party hosted by Williams father after the royal wedding!

Kate looked absolutely perfect in this creamy white gown that skimmed the floor with her every step.  The sparkles on the belt added a glamorous touch and the fluffy shrug over top made the perfect accessory. This dress was traditional but with a modern touch and fit for the Duchess that she now is. Amazing style choice Kate, you looked brilliant!

Best Dressed @ The Royal Wedding

Kate proved that she knows fashion in her regal wedding gown but some of the guests looks pretty fabulous too! Here are Flaunt Its top 3 picks for best dressed at the royal wedding....

Her royal highness the Queen of England, Camilla and Carole Middleton all looked sensational! From the pretty pale colours of their outfits to the delicate details that made their looks stand out heres why these 3 leading ladies looked so impressive....


The Queen: Queen Elizabeth looked darling in her hummingbird yellow outfit. The warm sunny colour said that she approved of the marriage and she was very happy for the couple. For sure a sweet spring-y style!


Camilla: Camilla went for a beautiful outfit that said classy and fashionable! The delicate colours and patterns said that she was overcome with joy at the wedding and hopes that Kate and Wills we be happy together forever! This gorgous outfit lands Camilla on the list of best dressed.


Carole Middleton: The mother of the bride looked fantastic in her robin's egg blue outfit. The outfit said "I am so happy for my daughter and her husband. They are spectacular together and I am filled with joy". From the pretty colour to the 100% appropriate style Carole is one of the best dressed.

Unfortunately we couldn't look as swish as the Queen but some guests pulled major fashion no-no's!

I didn't know that Lady GaGa and Mrs. Bluebelle were invited to the royal wedding! Sorry Beatrice and Eugene these frocks are far from fancy. That blue blueberry dress looks horrid but the beige outfit was the real shocker! The hat is as topsy turvy as Alice in wonderland and the disheveled hair and heavy eye makeup has a GaGa feel. Ladies this is not up to par!


Check back all weekend for tons of posts on the royal wedding extravaganza!

The Royal Wedding

No matter who you are, where you live or what time it meant you had to tune in, the royal wedding brought the entire world together...

It was many weeks ago that the announcement of Kate Middleton's and Prince William's engagement was made and today the loving couple tied the knot at West Mister Abbey. The wedding was lovely with beautiful trees inside the Abbey for a touch of colour. Seeing everyone dressed their best was also thrilling (check back tomorrow for a post on best dressed at the wedding) and the truth is that however dashing Prince William may have looked all eyes were on Kate!

As rumored Kate wore a gorgeous Alexander McQueen wedding dress designed by Sarah Burton! It is amazing that this was kept a secret but the fact that it did shows the fashion house's incredible respect for the now Duchess Katherine and the entire royal family. The gown was beautiful. Traditional, classic, breathtaking. The dress was perfect for Kate who looked comfortable and truly happy as she walked down the aisle.

The amazing thing about this wedding was it showed the Cinderella story. Kate being a commoner and marrying the future King of England is very exciting and thrilling to watch. Another great aspect of the wedding is that there were real people there, just as much in awe at the beauty and love as the rest of the world. It truly was an event that history will never forget.

Kate and William looked very happy together and it is totally clear that they plan a long and happy life together...

Check back all this weekend because it is Wedding Fever! There will be upcoming articles on best dressed at the wedding, more on Kate's dress and all the wedding articles you could dream of...

Real or Rumour

Beauty Real or Rumor…

You should not wear nail polish every day; you need to let your nails breathe.

Real or Rumour

This is 100% true! We all love nail polish because it glamorizes your nails but did you know it also has some risky aspects? Have you ever noticed your nails have a yellowish tinge after applying polish? This is the unfortunate result of nail polish’s harmful chemical ingredients. Nails are an extension of your skin and whatever you put on your nails travels into your body through your skin. Nail polish does have its dangerous affects so it is a very good idea to give your nails time to get air in between manicures. If you like wearing nail polish often wearing a base coat and using water based nail polishes are recommended. Remember nail polish is not the only way to make your hands look fabulous try buffing and filing your nails as well as shaping your cuticles for a healthy mani!

Straightening your hair, every day will make you bald.

Real or Rumour

Straightening your hair, everyday isn’t the healthiest thing you can do for your hair but it certainly will not make you bald! While you may find your hair becoming brittle and dry this is only because the heat is drying out your hairs nutrients to avoid this from happening try turning down the temperature on your straightening iron. Some girls have however experiences slight hair loss and thinning due to using a straightening iron and professionals suggest not to use a straightening iron all the time.

There are natural ways to plump your lips.

Real or Rumour

Have you ever dreamt of bee-stung lips but don’t have the guts for a surgical procedure or plumping serum? Here is your chance to get the lips of your dreams all by simply whistling! It is true, whistling for 5-10 minuets a day helps circulate the blood flow in your lips making them fuller. Pick out your favourite tune and whistle your way to plump lips.

Wearing mascara will make all of your eyelashes fall out immediately.

Real or Rumour

Mascara…long, thick, jet-black lashes with just one wave of that magical mascara wand but have you ever heard that wearing mascara will actually make your lashes fall out? The good news is that this is a tall tale; the bad news is that there is a catch! By not properly removing mascara at the end of the day, your once beautiful lashes will become fragile and frail and eventually break off. Don’t panic it is avoidable, just gently remove your eye makeup before bed using makeup a mild remover, don’t tug at your lashes and pat them dry when done!

Eating certain foods will change your eye colour.

Real or Rumour

This is definite rumour. The eye colour you are born with is the eye colour you are stuck with unless you want to undergo a surgical procedure or wear colour contacts. However depending on the lightening and the clothes you wear your eys can appear different colours. For example if you stand in a room with very bright lighting the warm tones in your eyes will be accentuated and girls with blue eyes will notice their eyes look aqua. As for clothing, warm colours will emphasize brown tones and cool colours will emphasize icy tones, blacks and whites will make your natural eye colour pop!

Blue is the true hit this Spring!

So you may be asking your self, why is blue such a big trend for Spring 2011? The answer to this question is easy, blue is a cool and refreshing colour and in the Spring warmth, a refreshing splash of blue is very appealing. Plus from powder blues, to  Caribbean blues, the range of tones and hues is huge when shopping blue!


If you are planning on investing in some blue clothing this season then there are a few things you should watch out for! This tips are huge so read carefully....


Firstly, if you are going to be laying down green for blue then you must be certain of one thing, is the shade of blue right for you? If your hair is blond or black, go for light powder blue, red heads and brunettes should opt for a tropical blue!


Secondly, you have to think to yourself, do I have blue clothing already at home? Am I shopping for blue accessories or blue shirts, dresses and pants? This is really important because if you are on the hunt for blue accessories you will be heading to different shops then if you are  looking for blue clothes.


Probably the most important thing about shopping blue is ensuring that the merchandise suits you! There is no point in buying something only to decide it isn't you...just because blue is a catchy trend this Spring, does not mean you should go for blue if it is not you!


Good luck on all of your blue shopping excursions...

Happy Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day!

So...in honor of Earth day Flaunt It decided to share some eco-friendly fashion tips! (whoever said you can't go green fashionista style?)

Eco-friendly fashion is about sustainable fashion. What does that mean? Well, using organic cottons, hemp and bamboo to make clothes is very good for the environment and much more beneficial to our mother earth than some other materials. There are a lot of designers that are starting up eco-friendly fashion lines which is awesome because it means that you will have a ton of choice when you shop Earth aware!

Here is a quick clip that highlights one of the hottest designers, Vivienne Westwood,  talking about eco friendly fashion on the runways...

 

 Here are some other simple and easy tips to make fashion greener...

1. Walk to the shops when you go shopping.

2. Buy clothes made locally.

3. Check out vintage and 2nd hand clothing stores...recycled clothes are totally chic!

Happy Earth day...
