The Royal Wedding and Kate Wedding Dress!

The Royal Wedding Prince William & Catherine Middleton

Friday 29 Apr 2011 at Westiminister Abbey

For now i only talk about Kate wedding dress.

Kate Middleton dress designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen.

The dress is made from hand-cut English lace, French Chantilly lace, and ivory and white satin gazar. The lace appliques were handmade by the Royal School of Needlework using a technique called Carrickmacross that originated in Ireland in the 1820s. The lace workers washed their hands every 30 minutes and replaced their needles every three hours to ensure that the lace remained pure white. The flowers designs in the lace are of actual flowers: rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock.

For more details you could check out their office Royal wedding wetsite.

Love Japanese Fashion!

I like this website even though i know it's not fashion designated website. They are the largest cosmetics manufacturer in Japan, Shiseido makes and markets makeup and skin care products for men and women. The company was founded in 1872 and is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. Its 20-plus brands include namesake Shiseido, Elixir Superieur, Maquillage, and Integrate; they're sold in department stores, as well as chain, general merchandise and drugstores

In Canada, we only see very small portion of their makeup line and style, But they are very popular all over Asia where i grew up from. I'm sure many of your if ever live in Asia you will know about it.

I've followed their website for many years and learned about how to put your looks all together from head to toe.Their style is wearable in everyday look or a special occasion date.

Every season they list their new products along with several outfit for each look.

Also they list all the makeup and outfit they have used on model and where to find.

They do have update looks styling in flat post on http://www.fashionnews.jp.

The only downside is their website only show in Japanese. I believe fashion speak the same language, so it's not issue for me :).
