Friday's Fancies : Wedding Guest

 
Happy Friday Everybody!  Hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to some fun weekend plans.  This week I am linking up with {av} from long distance loving for Friday's Fancies.  This weeks theme is beyond perfect because tomorrow I'm driving down to my friends wedding.  This is very exciting, since Sarah is my first college friend to get hitched {expect an update next week!}.

Kate Spade Dress | L.K. Bennett Pumps | Tory Burch Clutch

I love this teal Kate Spade dress and wish I could be wearing it tomorrow.  But, I'll be wearing one of my trusty Lilly dresses!  I am pairing my dress with a similar pair of nude pumps (mine are Steve Madden) and a straw clutch that was a gift from my aunt.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Royal Tennis Dress.

I am in love with the dress HRH Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge wore to Wimbledon this week.  It was the perfect dress for a summer tennis match.  You might recognize the sweater dress from the royal couples trip to Canada last summer.

I love this Alexander McQueen sweater dress.  Kate paired the nautical dress with a pair of navy L.K. Bennett pumps (one of Kate's favorite shoe designers).

The Duchess carried one of her go-to bags, this Jaegar Kate Bag (similar).

I love that the Duchess sported a nautical look for Wimbledon this week, she is right on point with all her outfits these days!

wedding season.

The first of my college friends is getting married in July!  It's so exciting, but kind of weird at the same time... I'm still getting used to the idea that I am old enough to get married.  EEEK!  But, weddings are so much fun.  I am looking forward to celebrating with Sarah Jeanne and her new husband!

But first, I must find a dress!

Kate wears white for Garter Day.

Once again Kate Middleton and the entire Royal Family looked fabulous for Garter Day 2012.  She joined her stepmother-in-law Camilla and Prince Edward's wife Sophie to watch the ceremony in the grounds of Windsor Castle.

HRH Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge wore a Reiss dress and an Alexander McQueen cotton and wool-blend pique coat.

She paired the dress and coat with a L.K. Bennett Natalie Natural box clutch and Sledge Pumps.

Doesn't Her Majesty look adorable with Prince Phillip?

I love Kate's hair in this photo! Adorable!

Kate's hat is by Jane Corbett.

Do you like Kate's Garter Day outfit?

royal blue.

Yesterday Princess Catherine and other members of the Royal Family attended a children's sporting event at Vernon Park in Nottingham.  The visit to Nottingham was part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee tour.  Over 30,000 people greeted the Royal Family during their visit.

The Duchess wore a powder blue tweed coat dress by M Missoni {which she wore to Fortnum & Mason in March}.  However, just to keep things a little fresh, Catherine opted for different accessories. This time around, the dress was teamed with a Rachel Trevor-Morgan navy cocktail hat and L.K. Bennett 'Art' Court Shoes in navy.  The Duchess carried the Jaegar 'Kate' Bag {I love this bag!}.

I love that the Queen and Kate seem to get along so well.  Kate has truly been accepted into the Royal Family.

I love that Kate always looks so conservative and professional everywhere she goes.  She is such a great fashion icon!  I wish I could pull of her hats.

Kate looks great in grey.

Over the weekend Prince William and Prince Harry's cousin (on Diana's side), Lady Emily McCorquodale, wed James Hunt.  Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, was also in attendance.  The wedding took place in a beautiful church in Lincolnshire.

Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge wore a few old favorites from her wardrobe.  I love when she recycles her wardrobe... after all, almost everything she wears is fabulous! 

You may recognize her bronze pill box hat from last years Epsom Derby.

She re-wore one of my favorite (Kate) dresses, that she wore last year when she visited North America.  It is a Jenny Packham grey floral silk dress.  Kate paired the dress with the grey Katherine Hooker coat dress that she wore to last year’s Order of the Garter ceremony.  Kate's ensemble was completed by a pair of nude L.K. Bennett pumps and Hobbs Somerton Clutch.

I love Kate's pairing of her old pieces to make an entirely new look.

jubilee.

This weekend Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee festivities began.  I'm sure you can tell that I love all things Royal Family.  I wish I was in London to watch and celebrate Queen Elizabeth's big year, but sadly I have to be in the US, so I will be watching it all unfold on TV.

But, if I was in London, I would wear this adorable light blue and white striped Anthropologie sundress.  It's a little chilly there right now, so I would need a sweater or jacket.  I would opt for this Jackie cardigan from J.Crew or maybe this kate spade new york 'nera' colorblock mac coat.  In good 'ole British fashion, a hat is a necessity and I love this red straw hat from J.Crew.  Any sundress looks wonderful with a pair of nude heals (plus they elongate your legs!).  Nordstrom has a great selection of nude heals perfect for a variety of budgets.

the british derby.

I love a good 'ole fashion derby (and so does the British Royal Family).  It just seems like so much fun to get dressed up in fun sundresses and hats to watch a horse race. 

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge wore a tilted bronze pill box hat with a squiggle ornament, paired with a cream jacket and skirt with nude L.K. Bennett 'Sledge' Pumps.

Don't William & Harry look handsome?

I just love how the Queen always has a matching hat and purse with her at every event!

The whole royal bunch looked fabulous, as usual.

 Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice wore bright patterned sundresses.

I just love the Royal Family and I am so happy Kate Middleton is now officially part of it.  She fits in so well!
