William and Kate the royal wedding

Tomorrow is the royal wedding. Will you be watching?
I wasn't sure at first but yes I am going to set my alarm for 4 am est. and watch.

I really most interested in the wedding dress. I love weddings. The dress, the flowers, the bridesmaids dress, the handbags. Oh how I love handbags. I love shoes too but I really love a cute handbag. Shabby chic is my favorite style and with layers and shades of white, roses, lace, beads, and flowers and wedding bring all of that and more.

I say I'm a people watcher, but actually I'm looking at their style of fashion, and what accessories they are wearing. Mostly just for ideas for myself to create. I was in Kohl's today and I stopped just to look at a handbag with ruffles to see how they were attached so maybe I could duplicate the item for me.

My main reason for watching the wedding tomorrow is just to see what everyone is wearing.  I will probably turn the sound down I don't really like all the commentary.  I expected to see a lot of hats too, Americans used to wear lots of hats in the 40's, 50's and 60's what happened to that trend. I wish they would bring it back.  I remember watching the I love Lucy show before kindergarten and those were reruns (showing my age) and the one episode I remember was Lucy was trying to hide her hat collection from Ricky. Lucy had some really awesome hats. Ladies even wore house dresses then. They say styles come back around with updates, I'm still waiting I was too young then.

I am also a big fan of the 40's style dresses and hairstyles. Maybe someday they will return.

So tomorrow you know where I will be in front of the TV hopefully I will get some inspiration and ideas.

  1. I'll admit, I'm not into the royal wedding craze, but today I decided that I have to watch The Prince and Me tonight. Now you almost have me convinced to watch the wedding! Well, almost...
