The Royal Wedding- Preparation for THE spring event-Part 1

As I am sure everyone knows, a Royal Wedding is near. Kate Middleton and Prince William are set to tie the knot on April 29th at Westminster Abbey. I personally tied the knot with another lesser known British Prince 5 years ago this September. The Brits have away of making something that seems so romantic both trivial and exciting at the same time. Simultaneously embracing the wedding with endless media hype and lot's of uncomfortable navel gazing

Apparently Kate Middleton will be wearing Aristoc hosiery on the day of her wedding, which is made in Derbyshire England. Good choice for the future Queen of England, keeping the manufacturing in the sceptered Isle. Aristoc is made by the same company that make Pretty Polly, House of Holland and the PP NYLON's collection.

Liberty's is by far the most exciting shop in London-comparable to Barney's and Bendel's. Liberty of London collection for Target was the British invasion of the year 2010. I, like a lot of New Yorkers, flocked to the Pop Up shop last Spring. There floral patterns are right on point for even this spring.

Lucky for me I didn't get bored of them last season. Every-time I go to London, I go to Liberty to check out both the amazing selection of wallpaper and fabrics and of course Hosiery!!

My top is from the Liberty of London collection for Target 2010, and my tights are from a small boutique in East London circa 2006.

Favorite Skirt with Sweater Hold Ups!

This is my favorite skirt; I purchased it for my birthday a few years ago from Anthropologie!

It’s a little difficult to pair a funky pattern with a striped skirt. I usually wear my brown fishnets with this outfit, but I think my sister borrowed them, so I decided to go with Hold Ups! Which I prefer but sometimes in the winter they can be a bit drafty. The Hold Ups that I am wearing are a sweater weight and have small vertical dots, a very simple pattern. The Hold Ups are the same color as my shirt, going for the look of creating a body suit affect that I read about at Already Pretty.
Something I have always done anyway, but always a good tip

I purchased these Hold Ups at Calzedonia my favorite hosiery shop in the entire world. They are a nice basic and I wish I had them in other colors. Just heavy enough for the cold winter days.

I just found out that my husband-Nathan, who has been away in Egypt these past few weeks, is making a stop over in London. While he is there he promised to stop at Calzedonia for me and pick up my top picks from the Spring 11 collection. Needless to say I am super excited and can't wait.

Until, then I will have to run through my existing assortment. Which at over 300 pairs will take the rest of the winter and the beginning of next winter. Thats not counting socks and leggings.
