Things That Make You Go Hmm...: Princess Stephanie
Just Stephanie in general, really, makes me go Hmm. But this month, well.....
Would you like to recreate this look? (Stop laughing.) This handkerchief dress is available to you for just 19 euros, my friends. It's on sale! (I wonder why.) Though I'm not sure how much it will cost you to make yourself this color.
Now, if this look is more your style (Halloween is just around the corner, kids!), just take a trip to your local costume shop. You'll want to focus your search in the female superhero section.

Flashback Friday: Queen of Trousers
One of the most shocking things from this week's royal sartorial news did not come from one of our usual fashion experimenters, but from one of the most consistent and safe:
The Queen wore trousers! Shocking, I say! To board a rented yacht for a little family holiday time, she sported this mint green pant suit with an Hermès scarf and, in another shocker, no brooch! Thankfully the pearls, the handbag, and the sensible black shoes are still intact so we can recognize her. So rare are the occasions we've seen her in trousers, I have to wonder: why? Let's flashback to our previous glimpses of the Queen in non-skirt attire and investigate.
Did she wear them...out of event-specific necessity?
Doubt it. Task specific, maybe?
Not unless she was planning on chipping in to get the yacht moving. (Mechanic training from World War II would translate, right?) Hopefully it wasn't medically necessary...
...as it was when leaving the hospital in 2003. Maybe it was just a fashion experiment?
I doubt that too. This official event (during a visit to Canada in 1970) is the only time she's worn trousers while going about her job, I believe.
Or, is this a peek at the true off duty Queen?
Perhaps a return to the Groovy Queen that vacationed on the royal yacht Britannia in the 1970s, with the groovy toned down according to the passing decades? If that's the case, I'm truly bummed we didn't get another peek at the royal bell bottoms.

Strapless Wedding Dress 2010 with Beautiful Shawl
Surely you agree with me when I saw this strapless wedding dress, so beautiful and interesting. Designed from soft cloth and gently with additions such as embroidery and crystal ornaments in some parts. Lace wedding dress was indeed more beautiful, and sexy. Equipped with a beautiful embroidered shawl.

on makeup artist...
salam everyone,
I know i haven't been the best at updating my blog, alhamdulillah i just recovered from the worst food poisoning I have ever gotten....tersuk sgt, sampai i had fever....
anyway also it donesn't help that my laptop still rosak, heish i haven't had the time to reformat my PC...
ok todays topic is on makeup artist...( sadly i have not receive any official pictures, so all pictures will only be uploaded once i dah dapat the gambar, i will update this post)
during our functions, we manage to work with 4 makeup artist, which is Sue cantik, Lova, Ayang kamel and A...ok...
now lets start with the good news,
MY untimate favourite makeup is def by faarrrr by LOVA...mmg me and my sis paling suka makeup by lova...she has this natural way of doing our face, just as how i want my makeup to be....so natural yet beautiful..lova's foundation is golden, so my skin macam had a glow, the whole day tak crack and the best part, it tak nampak putih on digital camera..i love it sooooo much, very simple but beautiful mashaAllah....so yes if anybody asks which makeup i love most, it has to be LOVA...i quote what habib said " from now on only Lova can makeup your face, no one else"..
sue cantik, was very nice, but my biggest issue is because sue is a man, and the foundation is tebal sikit, so my foundation cracked during the function, my face looked dry..tapi in the picture and video, mmg tak nampak...so i still love the makeup....
ok as for ayang and kak A....
ayang, mashaAllah is the nicest makeup artist among all...so lembut, while we were getting ready(imagine there was 4 orang kot tgh makeup sekali) ayang was very sweet to let us pinjam his eyeliner....ohh he is so baik....tapi is not that I didn't like ayangs makeup, i just feel that, it didn't suit our kind of face itu je...but i have to say, ayang is very very baik...
lastly ..kak A( i cannot name her sbb this is a bad review) was friendly, we were talking quite byk masa she buat makeup...so i explained to kak A, i only like 1 type of makeup...heavy eyes but nude lipstick and blusher...but sadly, she didn't give me that type of makeup..when i saw myself at the miror, my lipstick sgt merah, and blusher sgt merah..and when i said, terang sgt, she was a bit upset, and cakap, "tak dik nanti kat camera nampak natural"...you see itu yang buat a marah, sebab sue cantik and lova, did a very natural nude look, and takde pun nampak pudar on camera
sampai I open my pictures, to show how sue and lova mekup my face...stress sgt masa ni..lepas tu, i cakap nak light lagi colour dia....she pun sampai 3 kali tukar colour and sindir me and said, kalau colour macam ni, macam tak pakai lipstick and warna lagi pudar dari my own lips...but for me, that is what I want...
But masa i saw gmabr from the pictures he took, daniel zain tunjuk sikit, the makeup ok masa malam tu, tapi gambar siang semua mmg nampak my blusher and lipstick terang....and my foundation colour macam grey sikit(takda glow). I'm also upset because i bayar RM 750 (lagi mahal dari lova and ayang kamel), and i saw some product makeup yang murah.....i feel cheated esp on the foundation that is why my foundation looks grey...i'm very particular about cheap makeup, sebab i have sensitive skin...cheap makeup product uses cheap chemicals...but the best part is after everything she sms me to minta maaf and said hoped i liked the makeup...walaupun ada problem sikit, all in all it was ok....it was my mistake jugak, I pun nak tukar her trademark style, of course she pun tak happy...
for lova and sue cantik, mmg i have seen bride lain and i suka the style...tapi the other 2 makeup artist tu, mmg i tak minat sgt, esp the colour of the foundation..I am very particular with the colour of the foundation....i paling tak suka when the foundation turns grey or white...tak nampak seri....
.
My advice to everyone, find a makeup artist yang u suka, from what you see at other brides...
p/s: what is cantik and beautiful for me, might be too simple or tak cantik for others...please take note that this is a personal review of my personal taste...

Week in Review: Crown Princess Mette-Marit, 18-24 July
First of all, I totally missed a bunch of outfits from last week (the Vienna conference was 17-19 July, wasn't sure which days had which outfits). Those have been added to last week's review post. Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming:
Here's what Crown Princess Mette-Marit wore the week of 18-24 July:
No trouble picking a best this week - yellow for the win! Love her in color. And I think she does better things with this dress than the runway model did. I had trouble picking a worst, though - the t-shirt doesn't really go with the red jacket and skirt, but that's not her fault; the white lacy dress for the photoshoot is typically pale Mette-Marit, but it worked with what the rest of the family was wearing and with the scenery. So, ice cream dress it is.

Here's what Crown Princess Mette-Marit wore the week of 18-24 July:
- The opening day of the International AIDS Conference in Vienna, 18 July. Not gonna lie, I totally love a princess that eats ice cream at a public event in her white dress.
- The opening evening of the International AIDS Conference, 18 July, a) in action and b) on the Valentino runway. Sporting the same Valentino kicks she wore for Victoria and Daniel's pre-wedding concert.
- Once again, at the conference, 19 July. This is like the same pose every drunk college girl has struck at some point in her life, but ya gotta love her enthusiasm for the event t-shirt.
- Family photos for Haakon's 37th birthday, 20 July.

Week in Review: Letizia, Princess of Asturias, 18-24 July
Here's what Letizia wore the week of 18-24 July:
What a snoozefest of a week. I'm bored. I'll go with the blue suit as the best simply because it's the most dressy of them all. The second white-and-khaki affair of the week loses on the premise that one should never feel the need to make an M.C. Hammer reference when discussing one's princesses.

- Delivery of the National Prizes of the Minister of Culture, 20 July.
- Closing of conference of Cervantes institute representatives, 22 July.
- Audiences at Zarzuela Palace, 23 July, a) from the front and b) from the back. Rare is the day outfit that requires a back view, but this sort of fringe-y tail situation is a rare outfit indeed.

Royal Trend Watch: Clothes Swap Edition
Eagle-eyed royal watchers (and Svenskdam, too) caught a few dresses that looked a little familiar at Crown Princess Victoria's wedding and associated celebrations....
We may not get many opportunities to witness royal ladies lending out clothes to friends, but we have seen our fair share of inter-family loans:
I would love to see more of this, done just like Mabel (once again, probably the only time I will ever say that). There should be more reasons to preserve royal clothes than just for future museum display. Couldn't you picture Crown Princess Mary in some of the 1960s sheath dresses sported by then-Crown Princess Margrethe, or one of Queen Silvia's daughters digging out some of the amazing gowns she's donned for Nobel ceremonies past? Or am I nuts, and we should always wish for fortunes large enough to bring us new couture, all the time? (I wish for both, just to be clear.)

Friend Anna Ek donned a couple of the Crown Princess's old gowns, while Daniel's sister borrowed another. The added embellishment on the pink neckline and green waist is the same.
Can I just tell you how much I love Victoria giving out her old dresses to her friends? Seriously. I'm not surprised: this is the woman that once wrote her love 30 letters for 30 days they'd be separated. (If you need to watch Daniel's wedding speech again - and, really, you do - here ya go.) I like her so much. I don't really understand the need to add the cheesy looking glitter to the pink and green dresses, but whatever. So sweet.We may not get many opportunities to witness royal ladies lending out clothes to friends, but we have seen our fair share of inter-family loans:
Sweden's Princess Birgitta loaned an old outfit to her daughter-in-law Nicole for Victoria's wedding.
I think I might have at least sprung for a different jacket, so the loan would be a little less obvious. I wouldn't want to foster too many comparisons with Birgitta, but that's just me (and just mean. I'm sure she's a lovely person!).
Princess Nathalie of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleberg (left) borrowed one of her sister Princess Alexandra's old maternity gowns for Queen Margrethe's 70th birthday celebrations.
Sisters always share. (Especially when they look exactly alike - Nathalie was the pregnant one, and that was the only way I can tell them apart. What will I do now she's had the baby?) Plus, this just makes sense - nobody wants to buy a whole new wardrobe they won't be able to wear next month, let alone 9 from now. Hell, the same box of borrowed maternity clothes has been making the rounds in my circle of friends for a couple years now.
Princess Martha Louise wears a dress belonging to her mother, Queen Sonja.
I can't imagine wearing any of my mother's clothes. That would never, ever happen. Maybe I'd change my mind if my mother had a closet full of designer duds.
Grand Duchess Maria Teresa has loaned clothes to her daughter-in-law Princess Tessy more than once; the teal outfit she wore to Felipe and Letizia's wedding was seen on Tessy at the National Day 2008 celebrations, as was a black and white evening gown. National Day 2009 saw Tessy wearing a fascinator first worn by Maria Teresa at Tessy's wedding.
Once again, I am loving the sentiment here: Maria Teresa seems to have gone out of her way to welcome Tessy to the family, even if she did enter in a most unconventional way (as an unmarried 20 year old, she gave birth to the then-19 year old Prince Louis's baby, if you're not up on your Luxembourg scandals). It's especially lovely given that tales of tension between MT and her own mother-in-law still circulate even now that Grand Duchess Joséphine-Charlotte has passed away. But once again I question the execution: these are two very different sized ladies, and the same clothes do not suit them both. The added fabric on the bottom of the evening gown is particularly clumsy.
For the wedding of Prince Pieter-Christiaan in 2005, Princess Mabel wore the same dress that her mother-in-law Queen Beatrix wore when announcing her engagement to Prince Claus in 1965.
Pay attention, now, because this might be the only time I ever compliment Mabel's sense of style on this blog: I love this, absolutely and without reservation. I love the gesture of wearing a dress with such a significant history, I love what it says about the relationship between these two women, and I love the dress itself. There are few periods in fashion history that can be repeated without looking completely dated, and this dress falls into one of them.I would love to see more of this, done just like Mabel (once again, probably the only time I will ever say that). There should be more reasons to preserve royal clothes than just for future museum display. Couldn't you picture Crown Princess Mary in some of the 1960s sheath dresses sported by then-Crown Princess Margrethe, or one of Queen Silvia's daughters digging out some of the amazing gowns she's donned for Nobel ceremonies past? Or am I nuts, and we should always wish for fortunes large enough to bring us new couture, all the time? (I wish for both, just to be clear.)

Black Wedding Dress as an Alternative for Your Style
Wedding dresses with shades of black can be an alternative for your choice. Although not 100 percent black, but still combined with white. Designed in the form of a mermaid terihat increasingly make you sexy and beautiful. Also in the chest are also given little accessories.
*Tumbleweed Blows By*
Sorry for the recent lack of posts, I've been a bit busy as I've just started my new summer job, yayy :D It's at a popular theme park so it's quite exciting stuff! Anyway, even if I did have time to post I wouldn't be able to as I'm running very low on Internet allowance at the moment and that doesn't get topped up until August.. I should be back on track in a week or so.
