Keep It Creative

Sarah Burton was the designer of choice for Kate Middleton's wedding dress this morning. Although there were mixed reviews of the gown, "feeling more like a Kate Middleton design then a Sarah Burton design," I think we can all agree that it was beautiful. I think we should also keep in mind, that Kate is in fact the one wearing the dress, not Sarah, therefore I think it is totally appropriate that it has more of Kate's traditional flare.

Here are a few moments that I will remember as I sat on my couch at 5:30am watching the event take place:

1) Kate's confidence and grace was extraordinary and not one tear was shed (visible to the audience), by her or her family.

2) Pippa Middleton looked stunning as Maid of Honor.

3) Broadcasters covering the wedding stated "the second Kate leaves the hotel to head to Westminster Abbey is the moment she will leave her old life behind."

4) Will and Kate's first kiss on the balcony was a little short. I know Will doesn't like PBA (public display of affection), but this is your wedding day Will, it's ok to kiss!

5) The color of Camilla's pleated suit dress was described as "duck egg blue." I have no idea why that detail stuck in my head but it did.

6) The hats that Princess Eugenie of York and Princess Beatrice of York wore were hideous and screamed for attention.

7) Kate's wedding band was a little tight going on the finger

8) The tiara worn by Kate belonged to the Queen's mother, who also wore it on her wedding day.

9) I loved the ceremonial tradition of Kate's father handing over his daughter by passing her hand first to the priest, then to Prince William.

There isn't a 10th moment that comes to mind as of now, but I will be sure to update you if one more comes up.

St. John U.S.V.I.

I wanted to share a little slice of heaven (my recent vacation to the 9 mile long and 3 mile wide island of St. John), so here are a few pictures that I think are "screen saver" worthy.
