friday's fancies #22.

We made it to Friday! It's the most wedding-obsessed day this generation has ever seen! To get swept up in the hype, I hope you'll join me in dreaming up your British best by creating your look for the Royal Wedding :) This could mean what you wear as a guest, what you dream the bride will wear, or even what you'll be wearing as you watch it at home. {If you don't have the Royal Wedding fever, don't sweat! You can still dream to your heart's content with your Friday's Fancies!}

If I had received an invitation to the Royal Wedding, you'd likely find me in a get-up like this:

1) Since Kate is the future queen of England, it's fair to say she's also the queen of hats! This Philip Treacy Small Disc Hat gives some height and texture to the look I pulled together :) He's also rumored to be the millinier for the Royal Wedding!
2) While scouring a few new British websites, I eyed this Agnona Pleated Dress. The designer was new to me, but I loved the soft pleating and thought this would make for a very appropriate and not-too-overstated dress. I wouldn't want to take away from the bride--though I think that might be impossible ;)
3) Everything I read about Royal Wedding fashion called for understated earrings, so I decided these Mikimoto Stud Earrings with Diamonds would do the trick. They are elegant and don't take anything away from the fun brooch I chose!
4) This Adriana Orsini Medallion Brooch might normally be spotted on a woman three times my age, but for today, I decided it would work splendidly! I wanted a little flair and a lot of pizzazz without adding bold colors. This starburst pattern does just that.
5) I know I've previously shared my love of Judith Leiber, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that I chose another of her masterpieces in the form of the Rope-Motif Minaudiere. It felt regal and nautical, all at the same time. I couldn't help myself!
6) Whenever I see the name McCartney, I think of the British Invasion in the form of the Beatles. It's only appropriate to pick a jacket by the daughter of a Beatle, Stella McCartney. Though it's not my style completely, I needed to cover my shoulders, so I thought this Duchess Satin Collarless Jacket would help me fulfill that need.
7) A British brand that I wish would jump the pond is the L.K. Bennett. These Selina Shoes made me think they could be the brainchild of Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman! I love them!

Will you be watching the royal nuptials today? If you are, how are you celebrating?
