Royal Wedding Scents Revealed!

Kate's Wedding Fragrance: An instant hit!
While I was cooing over the dress, the hair and the make-up on last Friday’s extravaganza, some clever people were finding out other, smaller details about the Royal Wedding.

Namely, which scent the bride was wearing! Ahh yes, this didn’t cross my mind because well the McQueen was far too overwhelming to even consider other thoughtful touches that had gone into the Bride’s overall look.

Anyway, said fragrance is called White Gardenia Petals by little known British brand, Illuminum. Billed as a mixture of coconut, Jasmine and amber wood- the perfume, as you may have expected, is now sold out completely.

In fact it even has a two week waiting list now that the Duchess of Cambridge has given her Royal seal of approval to it.

Not only is she a fan of this fragrance, but also of Jo Malone. Kate apparently filled the Abbey with their signature candles and provided luxury soaps and hand washes for the guests to use in the VIP bathrooms.

How posh. I think I may light my Jo Malone candle in appreciation… well it would be rude not to wouldn’t it?!

McQueen confirmed as designer!

OMG! Kate Middleton could not have fared better with her choice of designer on the day. McQueen has been confirmed as the designer of her dress and Sarah Burton is the hottest name in fashion in the world right now.

It's very Grace Kelly-esque- simple, stunning and elegant. The lace sleeves are modest yet still revealing. Basically the perfect wedding dress for Kate and as I said before everyone will love it.

The Queen's tiara has been loaned to her for the big day, the make-up is simple with strong defined eyebrows and her hair- well, those moodboards and hours of rehearsal were worth it.

The half up, half down 'do with loose curls just compliment everything perfect. Bravo Kate!

And she's next to William... here we go!!!!

Kate leaves the hotel... here we go!!

Ahhh Kate is no en-route to the biggest day of her life and I'm sure everyone will be going absolutely crazy for her as she makes her way to the Abbey.

The first glimpse I have got suggests lace and long sleeves and of course it is white! She's already waving to the well wishers.. aww!

The hair is down and I think I have spotted a tiara perched on her head as well. First thoughts are 'stunning'.

It looks to me very simple, understated and elegant- totally fitting for a future princess. I doubt anyone will have any complaints- I foresee worldwide adoration for this wedding dress.

More when she gets to the Abbey.

The Queen is en-route!

Wowsa, I'm getting chills now. Camilla and Charles have arrived, the Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice are inside the Abbey and now the Queen is en-route.

Looking lovely in sunny yellow, I think the Queen looks marvellous. Camilla looks pretty in muted tones and is rocking Jimmy Choo shoes, so she gets my approval there.

Just been looking at The Goring on BBC news, where all the staff have lined up ready to wave off the bride.

No chance of seeing them before they get the Abbey apparently, but I have been told the bridesmaids dresses have been created by Alice Temperley and bookies have already paid out on Sarah Burton for McQueen designing Kate's wedding dress.

I'm gutted that's got out before the big reveal, but hey what can you do when Twitter now breaks big news before anyone else?

This just in- Beatrice is wearing Vivienne Westwood... what a great day for British designers.

Paula Reed on BBC talks fashion

Paula Reed from Grazia looks amazing in her dress choice for today, and she hates facinators! How v. modern!

Her money is on McQueen, but didn't openly address the Sarah Burton rumour which exploded on Twitter last night.

However, she reckons there are still others in the running Sophie Cranston among others.

Apparently the Beckhams have just arrived...Keep you posted!

Kate Moss Pays Tribute To McQueen

Copyright Harper's Bazaar
How amazing is this Harper's Bazaar cover?! Kate Moss looks stunning in a ethereal floaty number- a fitting tribute to her late designer friend, Alexander McQueen.

Kate famously appeared as a hologram in McQueen's 2006 Paris show, wearing this very dress, to worldwide adoration.

Now here she is wearing it in the flesh! This is only one of the covers for the May issue of Bazaar as the other one features Kate in a stunning white gown, made by the successor of McQueen, the fabulous Sarah Burton.

What do you think of Kate's latest cover- is it her best ever?

VMAs Fashion Gossip!

Lady Gaga wows in meat dress on stage at VMAs
After last year’s antics at the VMAs (you know Kanye West gate crashing Taylor Swift’s speech, Lil Mama climbing the stage while Alicia Keys performed) who would of thought this year could top it?!

As usual, Lady Gaga was the primary source of entertainment in her many outfits- the most shocking of all being a dress made entirely of meat.

Looking like Ross Noble’s stand-up incarnation had come to life, Gaga teamed her meaty dress with some furry boots and mismatched fishnet tights.

Now if she hadn’t already done the whole meat bikini thing last week for Vogue Japan it may have had more of an impact.

That said she did totally wow in a regal Alexander McQueen gown, complete with headdress and 12inch platforms, which drew gasps from the audience as she arrived with her entourage.

And when she picked up her award for Best Pop Video award she pulled out all the stops in stunning black leather Armani Prive gown.

In other fashion news, Katy Perry decided to pay homage to her hubby-to-be Russell Brand, by painting him on her nails. Bless!

Others who impressed me on the night was the stunning Florence Welch. Now, this lady is all about the quirky but last night she looked like she belonged at the Oscars.

A sweeping gold Jewel-encrusted mermaid gown totally stole the show, even though she was competing with the likes of Gaga and Perry. Way to fly the flag for the Brits Flo!
