Thought we saw enough of the red pants over the summer? Think again. Albeit a darker hue for fall, the red pant is all over the plazace, as in Diane von Furstenberg's Fall 2011 Collection.
I'm feeling so inspired to wear longer sleeves again and with the rain we've been getting, I'm in a FALL (not foul) mood.

The lovely Royal Couple are in Ottawa today for Canada's birthday!
How stunning is the Duchess of Cambridge? Wearing the same cream coloured Reiss dress she wore for their official engagment shoot, topped with a beautiful red maple leaf fascinator by Sylvia Fletcher for Lock & Co., she looks absolutely incredible! (Images via Dailymail)
The straw fedora is so popular this summer; I have to admit I have one too, which I bought at a flea market in Paris last summer, and love wearing it with everything from dresses to shorts and a t-shirt.
In Montreal hats were a popular accessory, too. Do you have a particular hat that you like to sport on a hot sunny day? (Images photohogger)
Finally a post Royal Wedding event that I've we've all been waiting for.
The President and Michelle Obama visited Buckingham Palace and Kate and Wills were on hand to meet and greet them. Kate was wearing a gorgeous $340 Reiss dress (the Reiss website has apparently crashed now, due to the number of people trying to snag this dress for themselves) and looked stunning with a slight tan from their honeymoon in the Seychelles.
This photo is my favourite.
See more of the dress and their meeting at NYMag.com!
A new photo by Mario Testino of the cute couple has been released today in the official programme of the wedding.

Do you know anyone who ISN'T talking about the Royal Wedding? I know I am going to watch the big day, waking up at at 4am like the rest of the Western world who is crazy enough to do it.
I was contemplating hosting a royal tea party (Royal Tea, get it, royalty? tee hee), with many a fancy teapot. Anyone planning any tea parties or royal gatherings to celebrate? Or what do you plan to do instead?

Footwear designers have shown some potential wedding shoes for Kate Middleton to wear down the royal aisle. What do you think? I'd love a pair of the Blahnik's and the Goodman's. *Le Sigh*
Manolo Blahnik
His design: An ivory silk pump with organza lilies of the valley and sea pearls
“It represents springtime and everything fresh and new, which is what Kate Middleton is all about.”
Giuseppe Zanotti
His design: A black satin sandal with large sapphire centerpiece and surrounding diamonds, on a metal-tipped stiletto
“I wanted her shoes to match the classic and sophisticated elements of her ring, but with a younger, modern edge. Jewelry for the feet is my DNA, so designing for a princess comes very naturally.”
René Caovilla
His design: A white satin sandal with marabou feathers and multicolor Swarovski crystal gems
“This shoe is fit for a princess because the sandal is elegant, sexy and precious, and it suggests a magical atmosphere.”
Cesare Casadei
His design: A single-soled silk pump with jeweled straps and embroidered floral details
“Kate reminds me of a 2011 Audrey Hepburn. ... This elegant design is customized with embroidery and multishaped clear crystals, to create a waterfall of stones dancing down the foot. I can see Kate dancing all night in this ‘new tango’ heel.”
Georgina Goodman
Her design: An antique Welsh lace pump with
Scottish seed pearls and pearl-inspired heel
“I wanted to create something special with an intrinsic emotional value; something old and at the same time mirroring Kate’s fresh modernity. ... I have aimed for a balance between history and femininity fitting the occasion; a kind of luxury recycling.”
