PRINCESS Pajama Party ♥



{{viewing party of the Royal Wedding of William & Kate}}





Pajama's, Pink Tiara's, & Princess Punch!




Waking up at 3 in the morning was just a little too much for us.
{{we like our sleep around here}}
So instead, we recorded the Wedding and will have a small "viewing party" for us girls on Sunday!



pictures to come of all the fun!




HAPPY ROYAL FRIDAY Lovelies!


LOVE,
A



a ROYAL Wedding ♥


fit for a PRINCESS!





I LOVE that she did her own little wave
&
not the stiff "proper" wave!



the DRESS!

by Alexander McQueen
{{Sarah Burton ,creative director of British fashion house Alexander McQueen}}

The blushing bride made her long-awaited arrival at Westminster Abbey looking elegant and stunning
in a long-sleeve lace, ivory and satin gown with flattering V neckline and 8-foot-long train, with a simple lace-edged veil and understated (for royal standards) tiara sparkling over her half up, half down hairdo.





the  Ceremony...





{{my favorite picture}}



MORE pictures of the DRESS to come...

{{as soon as I find better ones!}}

{{and if not, I've got the DVR set!}}

I'll be watching the Royal Wedding in my jammies

TIARA, of course!




any bets on who we think she will be wearing?
I'm hoping for an Alexander McQueen Gown!

Hope everyone is having a FABULOUS Thursday!




*also I'd like to just say that my heart, thoughts, & prayers
are with everyone who has been effected by this crazy weather yesterday!
Stories of just what this storm did is heartbreaking!



I'm so thankful that my cousin, who was a student at University of Alabama,
had just recently decided to transfer back home and go to UCF instead!
So having this come close to my family,
I can only imagine what others are going through with their family members and loved ones being there.
SO SO sad!




LOVE,
A
