Princess and McQueen

The love affair began with the most perfect wedding dress Middleton could have dreamt of, then the newly titled Duchess chose a second McQueen for her reception dress.  Catherine has been supporting British fashion on her Royal tour with husband Wills, but i've come to notice that the Duchess is having an affair with one fashion house in particular....

If you know me (or my tweets...) well enough, you'll know I have a serious style crush on our Duchess of Cambridge.  So serious, that I will call her Kate, cause Duchess or Catherine feels too formal for my liking.  McQueen has been her designer of choice quite a lot recently and it feels like a match made in heaven.

That dress.  There are no words except *wow*

The bride let her hair down and slipped into something a little easier to move in for her reception party at Buckingham Palace.  

On the Royal tour of Canada, Kate chose a knitted McQueen number, something slightly different to her usual attire, but a good different.  

Whilst they attended the BAFTA's in Los Angeles, amongst J Lo and Nicole Kidman to name a few, Catherine chose another McQueen.  This elegant piece fits both her body and personality just right.  I love how she's come back to the belted detail, seen on her reception dress.  She chose Jimmy Choo's over her usual LK Bennett choice.  

Enough of the Kate gushing now.  I've heard they want to keep a 'low profile' now they're home for the next year.  Are you lusting after the Catherine's style or have you got your own Fashion Princess?

TOWIE may have won but DVF stole the show!

It was the BAFTA Television Awards last night and the most awaited category was the Youtube Audience.  Of course, The Only Way Is Essex beat the likes of Sherlock and Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.  I was most interested in the Barbie of TOWIE, Sam Faiers' dress, after she tweeted that it was by my favourite designer, Diane Von Furstenburg.  



I speculated whether she'd opt for a classic vintage DVF print or whether the dress would feature the signature Diane wrap that made her so famous in the 70s.  





In true Sam style, the dress featured a revealing V neckline and it was certainly 'vajazzling' (i'm so sorry...)  As suspected, it included in infamous DVF wrap, which Diane promises would look flattering and sexy no matter a womans shape.  The wrap tied off with a black silk ribbon and black heels, giving contrast to the snow white dress.  It certainly brings out her tan!  

(Far left) Amy wore Pia Michi, Lauren in Scala and Lydia wore a floral Dynasty number.

I think she looked the best out of all the girls, she kept it simple and elegant, where as Amy (as much as I love her) looked like she was off to a Gypsy wedding.  Well done Diane, you've made it in Essex!

What's your verdict?
