Posted on by

The fashion world has been waiting with bated breath to catch a glimpse of Olivia Palermo’s wedding dress. Forget Kim Kardashian, this was the wedding dress everyone wanted to see. The wait is now over.

The bride wore Carolina Herrera and did not sway away from her unique preppy style. Palermo’s dress is certainly unique. She choose a full-skirt silhouette but the twist is the dress is a cashmere sweater with a tulle skirt. This was worn over coordinating shorts. Seriously, who else could wear shorts to their wedding and look this stylish. She even wore a pair of her old Manolo courts, her “something blue”. They were the same shoes Carrie Bradshaw wore in her civil ceremony in the Sex & The City film. Check out the strong make-up too, another brave choice that works.

It was a small wedding in a quiet park in Bedford, New York, attended by only a handful of family members.

 

“We really wanted to keep this beautiful day very private and special to us and enjoyed the whole day with our family and two friends, Bedford is such an amazing and romantic countryside.” Palermo said.

 

If you wanted something grander, stay tuned. Apparently this is “part one – the civil ceremony” according to the couple. We can’t wait.

 

 

Clements Ribeiro AW14 Preview

Posted on by

We love Clements Ribeiro and wanted to bring you a preview of their beautiful clothes. Our top three picks are below.

Eclectic and feminine, the Clements Ribeiro style is a direct reflection of such a mix, subverting traditional fashion elements with wit and intelligence, their deceptively simple designs are both easy and unconventional. Colours, prints and materials are used in unexpected, innovative ways. Rather than revelling in excess, their mix and match approach strikes a fine balance between eccentricity and elegance – the designers like calling it ‘studied imbalance’. Their ‘Bohemia’ has become a reference within British Fashion, their influence spread worldwide.

The couple also let the public finally see their wedding video from their 2008 wedding, along with footage of their one-year-old daughter Blue Ivy.

“There were videos of Blue in the pool with her mom, walking holding hands with her parents, Jay Z kissing Blue. It was a sweet moment — Jay Z and Beyoncé were both facing the screen watching the Blue videos while they sang ‘Halo.’ It was like they were singing the song to their baby girl. The two of them were beaming, smiling watching their little girl on the screen.” a concertgoer told Us Weekly.

It is all very sweet and Mr and Mrs Carter are showing how strong they are against gossip about their marriage.

What do you think? Are they a great couple?

Brides Embrace Grey Wedding Dresses After Kim Kardashian’s Vogue Cover

Posted on by

She is not exactly known as a high-fashion icon but it seems that notorious Vogue cover really has given Kim Kardashian some of the credibility she craves, along with some fashion kudos. eBay has seen a mammoth 260%* surge in sales of grey wedding dresses since Kim Kardashian’s recent appearance on the cover of Vogue (with fiancé Kanye West), wearing a similar design.

Despite growing rumblings about ‘Kimye’s’ upcoming ceremony in France, the chosen design for Kim’s wedding dress is still tightly under wraps. But it’s the stunning grey number she wore on the fashion bible’s April cover – with a sweetheart neckline and nipped waist – that British brides-to-be are coveting, proving that this surprising trend is one-to-watch this spring.

Muted grey tones, punchy floral designs, pastel blues and girlish greens were among the big hitters at the London Bridal Show in April, all prompting many women to reconsider the conventional white dress. Sales of these fashionable colours have similarly increased on eBay, with green wedding dresses up by 72%, blue gowns by 95%, and floral prints up by an incredible 107%*.
