Prince William & Kate Middleton, 29 April 2011

29 April 2011 marks a significant day in the royal history of the United Kingdom. Prince William and Kate Middleton's royal wedding.

I love her McQueen dress though of course some people dislike it or prefer other wedding gown designs. But I think that it suits Kate a lot because she is now part of the royal family, I doubt she's allowed to wear that exposing but her dress made her still look sexy with lace, which are really pretty. Anyway her dress is inspired by the renaissance fashion period, the lace & cuts are the style of it which complemented Kate. 

Her also very pretty sister, with 2 little cute girls. Especially the one on the left, I think she's scared of her tiara falling off haha.

She did her own makeup, doesn't need too much makeup but still so pretty. Ok I really think she's very pretty. And that Cartier crown loaned by the queen, gorgeous.

I've always admired Queen Elizabeth II. She's so adorable and looks so cheerful for her grandson's wedding with that yellow outfit.

I was a little angry after I read someone's tweet that Christian wedding ceremonial are boring cause they keep singing and praying. We use music to worship and praise our God and to celebrate such occassion and pray because we thank God for all the things he did and gave us which many times we don't deserve them at all. Show some respect at least...

Walking out of Westminster Abbey as wedded couples.

I missed the carriage part because I was at my grandma's having dinner and not allowed to eat while watching tv. But I'll catch that part at home later, recorded the whole royal wedding. Beauty and Charming haha.

And the kiss. Twice. Look at the girl on the left with that sour expression haha.

Oh and at the start of the wedding with camera on David Beckham and Victoria looking gorgeous. I like her dress and hat and again some people don't like it. Well different opinions. At least her hat isn't as big as some, who I think will block the view of those behind them.

During Queen Elizabeth's wedding, see so pretty and now so adorable :)

During Princess Diana's wedding to Prince Charles. She's another beauty, I admire her kindness and generous self. She will be very happy if she's still around to witness her son's wedding. Her sleeve area are a little too huge I would say but she's so pretty still.

"Over the years William has really looked after me. He’s treated me very well as the great, loving boyfriend he is." - Kate Middleton

who is my style inspiration and why?

Who is my style inspiration and why?

To be honest I don't have a single person that is my style inspiration. I see fashion visuals everywhere and many things out there inspires me and it starts to define my dressing sense.

Since this question is a 'who', I will mention two of my favourite style inspirers! I love to experiment my dressing in different styles that I feel comfortable in but still keeping it effortless & chic.

ALEXA CHUNG

: TV presenter, Model, Fashion designer & Contributing editor.

Vintage and edgy. Same person, two different styles. Alexa is someone that tries on different styles but still keeping to what she feels comfortable in and what she likes. What I admire is how gorgeously she still presents who she is no matter what she is channeling in.

MARYKATE OLSEN

: Actress, Model, Fashion designer, Producer & Author.

Chic and minimal. I personally prefer Marykate's style over her twin sister, Ashley Olsen though there are some outfits Ashley wore which inspires me as well, but in general I feel Marykate's more than Ashley's. I am inspired by how Marykate Olsen brought out the beauty of black by pairing black differently. Similarly, 2 different styles but so beautifully dressed. Its so inspiring especially sometimes when I think that black is boring, she proves that it isn't at all! (You can never go wrong with black!)

Here are 2 of my favourite style inspirers. Actually there are many people out there that inspires my dressing too. They can be strangers, my friends, boutique assistants etc! I feel that fashion is not just about wearing whatever that is in trend but able to show who you are through the apparels we put on. I feel that wearing something we feel comfortable in is very important too! For Alexa Chung and Marykate Olsen, I can relate their style a lot to me and their their dressing sense has greatly inspire me and it will always be!

happy easter

Happy Easter everyone!

I love you Jesus.

I want to praise the Lord for something that seem minor but is pretty important for me today. And I learnt to appreciate the nature because the nature is very beautiful and its God's amazing creation. I know I sound holy suddenly but I really wanna thank God for everything :) And I didn't receive easter eggs today cause I left church slightly late and it was all taken haha.

PS: I like Joanne Peh, Rui En and Fann Wong's outfit for Star Awards part II which was held just now. So elegant and gorgeous. Black and leopard, 2 of my favourites.

PS 2: Really glad for awesome friends :) For now, thank you Arella so much for helping me do the catwalk and photo shoot for my project. Can never do it without your help. And Yue Han, my long time brother, who willingly wants to be my assistant for the photo shoot. So thankful for awesome people <3

PS 3: I will post photos during the fashion parade once I collected some other photos from my friends :)
