A new photo by Mario Testino of the cute couple has been released today in the official programme of the wedding.

Royal Tea
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?

BCBG + Libby
I went to the Petite Feet Sample Sale today, VIP day, and although I really wanted some colour block shoes, there wasn't a great selection of the summer/fall styles I've been eyeing online. I did however, score myself a gorgeous pair of Libby Edelmans which are from her Fall 2011 collection, in a beautiful grey flannel with silver studs and a lovely silver heel. I adore the Tiffany blue colour and detailing inside the shoe. I also wanted a pair of shiny pumps for wedding season coming up this Spring/Summer, so I found a pair of cute open-toed BCBG pumps in a croc silver finish. Nothing like shopping at DSW, but not too shabby at $50 each, and I love that the Libby Edelman's won't be available until later this year. It's always fun to see women carrying buckets FULL of shoes to the check-out counter...I did the same two years ago, but this year, I wasn't as impressed. 
Coachella
Some great Coachella looks and boho chic inspiration for the rest of the summer. Yes to floppy hats, sunglasses, ripped denim shorts and loose T's!

Gingham
The sun is finally peeking out a bit today, so I have my thoughts set on summer and picnics. And gingham is perfect for summer picnics in the park. Sure, you might blend in with the table cloth, but that's not a bad look, right? :)
This is my favourite colour, blue and white and how I'd wear it.

Cat Eye
Cat eye sunglasses are hot for Spring, but I'm really loving cat eye makeup for during the day and into the night. So retro and with a bit of nude lip for day and red lip for night...perfecto!
Is this something you would do, ladies?

House of Harlow
I really like Nicole Richie's line House of Harlow, especially some of the cute shoes, but most of it is out of my price range. My sister was just telling me about this necklace she got a great deal on. How pretty is this?

Red Pants
I so want a pair of red pants for the summer. Goes so well with camel, don't you think? Is this something you'd wear ladies?

Umbrella-ella-eh-eh
It's raining here in Toronto, which means SPRING is finally here?!? Which means that we have to bring out our rain boots and umbrellas!
I adore my Kate Spade rain boots which I got on sale, what are your go-to rain boots or footwear of choice for the rainy season?
As far as umbrellas go, Shed Rain has the lightest ones I've ever come across. I also love Totes for their affordability and sizes. London Undercover has the most unique umbrellas ever, like this fish and chips one and this English Breakfast one. How cute are they?
Then there's the Polite Umbrella which you can pull into yourself if the sidewalk is too busy or if it's a windy day. Brilliant, don't you think? It's one on a list of 20 COOLEST umbrellas you'll ever see!

Mediterranean Vacation
I just discovered the Design Elements blog which is chock-full of exotic locations and spectacular designs and has me yearning to go away on vacation...to the Mediterranean sea!!
To be laying about in the sun...on that veranda. Sigh.
Are any of you headed off on vacation this summer?

Poladroid
I love this idea!
It's the Poladroid Project.
You can take any photo and turn it into a polaroid, digitally! What's even cuter is that the desktop icon looks like a Polaroid camera and the image takes a while to develop!
So amazing.

Elizabeth Taylor
Twiggy
Wasn't the Twigster (do you think anyone called her that?) such a fashion inspiration? I would never dare cut my hair that short, but she has always looked so cool, and check out that long (and thick!) braid!
With the 70s revival, do you see yourself wearing those floppy hats? Super cute!

Marshalls Canada
So, Marshalls opened in Canada! Finally! We have Winners which is the same, but it's nice to have a real Marshalls, which was acquired by T.J Maxx in 1995.
