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.

Victoria & David Beckham at the Royal Wedding!

Forget the Queen and Kate Middleton, I was personally all about seeing the Beckhams arrive today, and arrive they just have.

Victoria looking elegant in what looks like a navy blue shift dress, rumoured to be from her own line, complete with Philip Treacy hat and custom made Louboutins.

I wasn't sure when I first saw it, as it looked pretty plain, but the more she appeared pouting on my screens, the more I took to it. Simple and sophisticated- very clever VB.

David just looked like David Beckham always looks- drop dead gorgeous. He killed that Ralph Lauren suit, and with his slicked back hair and strong features, he is arguably the best looking fella in the Abbey at the moment.

Prince William and Prince Harry are yet to arrive however!

The Royal Wedding: My Coverage

Good morning early risers! I'm currently juggling making finger sandwiches and scones with blogging, tweeting and following the BBC coverage.

So far I have noted...

- Fearne Cotton looking lovely in a polka dot dress and fitted beige jacket, complete with uber blonde hair and wavy locks.

- Women with very large hats entering the Abbey... I can't wait to see Victoria Beckham!

- Huw Edwards speaking awkwardly about what Kate will be wearing- not really his thing!

- I may well cry... I'm feeling bizarrely emotional today seeing the scale of everything! The Mall is totally packed with people. IT WILL BE EPIC

- This is already old news, but if you don't know- Once married William will become Duke of Cambridge and Kate Duchess of Cambridge. I'm gutted for Kate, Princess Catherine had a nice ring to it!

Till later! Serena xx

Royal Wedding Fever!

Prince William and Kate Middleton: Awww!

I don’t know about you, but I officially have Royal Wedding fever. I’m giddy, smiley and generally happy for a couple I have never met and probably in all likelihood will never meet in my life and yet, I’m still positively brimming with anticipation for tomorrow!

I’m not the only one either. People all over the world are feeling exactly the same as me right now. Impromptu street parties, afternoon tea being served in an almost regal way and a general sense of occasion has got us all in a frenzy.

No-one does a Royal Wedding quite like us, and what’s so amazing is how everyone in the country has got on board with this and vowed to celebrate, despite the tax bill!

There is literally not a soul I know that isn’t doing something for the big day. A Bank Holiday proclaimed in their honour has definitely got people feeling good and despite everything else going on, for one day, everyone will be totally fixated on two people getting married.

Me personally, I’ll be fixated on the dress- as will many other Fashion Eds around the world. It will be a mad rush to see who tweets the designer’s name first, which quite frankly I find hilarious.

I will of course be tweeting and blogging my way through the ceremony with a cup of tea in one hand and a scone in another. And then I’ll be giving you a right Royal round-up on Dress Me Daisy next week, so all in all, I have a pretty busy time ahead of me.

Till tomorrow my Royal followers…

Forget the ring, what will Kate wear on the big day?!

So, unless you live on Mars you'll be well aware that Prince William and Kate Middleton have announced they are to marry early next year.

Hurrah! I personally feel like I've been waiting for this news forever, and so do most of the world's media, if the headlines are anything to go by.

What I'm most interested in though is who Kate will choose to wear on the big day, and will she cover up or flash a bit of flesh?

This could well be the biggest fashion event of the spring next year, so she'll have to get it right.

Rumours of British designers have already been thrown into the ring- a mere 12 hours after the news was announced and people are already taking bets; it's THAT big a deal.

Fashion experts have predicted a couture dress, complete with a high neck, that should both be demure, yet stylish. Eek! The girl is in her twenties, give her a strapless fairytale gown if she wants!

Check out Brides.com for some amazing sketches by wedding designers, showing their vision for Kate. Not a high neck in sight. Phew.

Tuesday Fashion Alert

The title says it all really, so here goes...

The Queen is now on Facebook: How is this fashionable? Are you kidding me, it’s the bloomin’ Queen! I wonder if she’ll accept my friend request…

Clarks are Cool: For those of us one step behind the times, Clarks is one step ahead as it becomes uber trendy without even trying. That’s right the fashionistas have been flocking there all of their own accord. We reckon Florence ’s Glasto boots (see below) may have something to do with this new trend.


Clarks' Orignal Desert Boot: An instant hit!

Katie’s wig: The live show was two nights ago, so why is Katie still wearing her clown wig to the Pride of Britain awards yesterday?

Marni launch vintage collection online: Now on the face of it, this is great news. When you find out that it’s pieces from their 2002 collection and they have actually priced them higher than they were eight years ago, it actually makes you want to cry.
