Beauty Sightings: Gorgeous Makeup Looks

 Happy Thursday!!!!

Earlier this week I featured a talented makeup artist who is in the business of turning beautiful women into gorgeous brides, with just the stroke of a makeup brush! Many brides get around to their big day and say they dont know what look they want. Whether it's a natural look, dramatic smokey eye, bold red lip, romantic soft look, etc. The list goes on and on! I've found some beautiful brides with really nice makeup looks to serve as an inspiration to the bride out there who is looking for THEEE most important makeup look of her life!!! (Dramatic, but true, LOLLL!)

Tell me what you think!

Beauty Sightings: The Royal Wedding

New York Times estimated that as many as 3 BILLION viewers from EVERY corner of the world, tuned in to watch the MOST popular wedding on Earth! Yes I am talking about THE ROYAL Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton (now known as The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge). Their wedding was ALL things REGAL and MAJESTIC. From her gown, to the chapel, to the guests' attire, to the cars they came in. It was just beautiful. I personally was NOT into all the hype surrounding it and I could  not watch it live because of sleep and then work, loll. But I DEFINITELY recorded ALL 6 hours and watched it on my own time. Although I didnt think I would be into it...I completely fell in LOVEEE, with just the pomp and pageantry of the royal family. I just think Monarchy is so cool...like they are REAL life Kings and Queens, and the people of the commonwealth REALLY love and regard them as so. It was SUCH a beautiful dynamic to watch and I'm really glad I got to witness a Royal Wedding in my lifetime :-)! That thing is taking up like 20% of the space on my DVR, but I REFUSE to delete it, hahaha! Here are some of my favorite images! Enjoy!

The Groom and his Best Man on their way to the church

The Bride and her Dad on the way to the church

The Westminster Abbey...uhmmm...all I can say is WOW.

Kate's arrival!! Okay @ first I thought her dress was boring, but after watching her & picking up a little bit on her personality, it was VERY obvious that this dress was SOOOO her and perfect for her!

Dress was designed by Sarah Burton who works for Alexander McQueen's fashion house

I LOVE their uniforms...so cool!

I absolutely LOVEDD her bridesmaid dress! It fit her soo well and has such subtle but sexy details!

Prince William: I got you baby Princess Kate: I know boo, I know...(in my mind that is what they are saying, lolll)

How graceful!! Sighhhh

The Queen of England riding clean!

The quick but sweet kiss!

The Royal Wedding Cake and it's baker, Fiona Cairns.

Stunning.

LMAO! This made me think about how we cry about our African wedding guest count...what if this many ppl showed up?? HAHHAHA!

Instead of fireworks...they had FIGHTER jets fly over the palace!

Kate's 2nd dress. Again simple but so chic!

Now here are some pics of the amazing FASHION spotted at the Royal Wedding. Apparently, it is tradition to wear your most fabolous hat to events such as this. Here are a couple of pics of some that DEFINITELY stood out :-)

Where you one of the people that got up at 4am to watch the entire thing live?? Did you just wait to see the highlights on blogs and the news? What did you think of her dress, hair, etc? Feel free to post some links of your favorite pictures!!

Beauty Sightings: Spring + Beautiful Shoes = HAPPY FEET!!!!!!

Happy New Month!!!! Spring is in the air and I am loving IT!!!!!

Cherry Blossoms, Spring Blooms, Flirty Dresses, Wedding Season and SHOES!!!! More Shoes!!! 

Like MOST girls I have a love affair with BEAUTIFUL shoes! I have been collecting photos of jaw-dropping GORGEOUS shoes that would be the perfect "glass slipper" for you on your wedding day! Some brides may overlook the shoe-selection process and say "Oh nobody will see my shoes anyway" but nowadays photographer detail shots are becoming very popular and add another element to your wedding album, you want a shoe that will photograph well and that you will be excited to show off when it's garter tossing time ;-)

Here are some show-stoppers I've come across! 

ENJOY!

Most of the shoes I posted ARE designer shoes, but you dont HAVE to spend a LOT of money on your wedding shoes! Steve Madden, Aldo, and Jessica Simpson are just a few brands that offer designer looking shoes for less! These photos are just some inspiration to get you to start thinking out of the box and know your wedding shoes do NOT have to be "Dyeables" or ordinary white satin, lol!

Tell me what shoes were your favorite! Do you think shoes are an important part of your wedding attire? What kind of shoes do you want to wear on your specail day? Feel free to share pictures with us too!

Stay Beautiful My Loves,
