Plus when it comes to fall, you never know what type of weather you’re going to get (Hurricane? Maybe. Blizzard? Why not?) so we put together this little guide to help you look your fabulous best at your fall weddings.

What to Wear to a fall Wedding:

Do

Dress up. A pretty dress is fine for both afternoon and evening weddings.
Wear good heels or flats, depending on what makes you most comfortable (flats might be easier to maneuver outside).
Embrace bright fall colors. Marigold, maroon, purple, turquoise, dark green would be beautiful.
Check with the bride to see what color the bridesmaids are wearing. You don’t want to look like you’re in the wedding party.
Bring a shawl or pashmina to an evening wedding in case it gets cold.
Consider a pretty fall suit in a lightweight wool like gabardine.
Accessorize. find a statement necklace in coordinating colors to your outfit.
Wear something you feel sexy in, but stay modest.

Wear white, off-white, or ivory.
Wear basic brown, which can look very sad at a wedding.
Wear flip-flops or casual shoes. dress to impress.
Wear shorts, revealing tops or dresses that are too tight or too short.
Wear anything alarming or attention-seeking, like huge hats or neon orange dresses. Go for a much more muted appearance.

What to Wear to a fall Wedding: Dressing Tips

Dress for the Time and Place

Aside from color, time and place are the two most essential things to consider when attending a fall wedding. Is the wedding taking place on a farm? In a ballroom? On a vineyard? If the wedding is taking place outdoors, bring a shawl or scarf to keep warm.

You might also want to remember things like bug spray in case you spend the entire wedding outdoors. For an afternoon fall wedding, you can absolutely wear a dressy sundress. evening weddings require much more dressing up, so choose a tasteful cocktail dress or a suit. another thing to consider is that the weather may get cooler as you relocation from the ceremony to the reception site, so plan accordingly. Ultimately, use the clues on the invitation to help you identify the time and place of the wedding, which in turn will tell you how dressy your outfit ought to be.

Remember the significance of Color

Probably the most essential item on our do’s and don’ts list is color. just stay away from the whites, including cream. It’s also a great idea to check with the bride to see what the wedding colors are. You probably don’t want to be mistaken for a member of the wedding party or blend in too much with the scenery.

How to dress for fall Wedding: choose Complementary Accessories

Dress up your outfit with colorful accessories. You can bring a shawl in pretty fall hues to keep warm. You might also consider wearing flats to an outdoor wedding to keep from sinking into the mud. For an indoor wedding during the fall, you can wear pumps or peep toe shoes, but stay away from sandals because they are much more suitable for a summer wedding.

Shine it Up: Jewelry

For a fall wedding, you can use darker lipsticks as well as a jewel-toned eyeshadow, like emerald green. As a guideline of thumb, don’t go over the top with makeup. You ought to accentuate either your eyes or your lips, not both. think pretty and natural, rather than the heavy makeup you’d wear for a night out on the town.

For jewelry, you can feel totally free to wear earrings and a necklace as well as a bracelet or bangles. similar to our makeup viewpoint for a fall wedding wear, jewelry ought to be modest but fun and fashionable. statement necklaces are okay, just pair them with lighter earrings.

HOTEL RECORD: DENIM FROM MARC BY MARC JACOBS AND ALSO MORE

To be straightforward, I’ve never ever really been big on Hotel season. Why? Due to the fact that I do not, you recognize, resort. It’s a collection developed for the elite to wear when they abandon their cold, winter-y residences for tropical areas, normally around the holidays.

There’s been a shift in the fashion landscape recently however, and stores are requesting for even more resort collections with more urban appeal. I presume I’m not the only one that can’t resort this year! On that particular note, a number of the collections included intense, cozy weather-inclined pieces, yet ones that easily translate to city wear.

The Marc By Marc Jacobs Hotel 2013 collection (above) featured of-the-moment polka dot print denim as well as a seriously trendy jeans energy coat. The very best part? When this collection arrives at retailers, we can actually afford it!

Derek Lam’s Resort collection offered a couple of denim pieces that are at the same time sharp as well as soft. The belted chambray chiton develops a feminine shape with sharp attributes, and also the light-wash denim one-piece suit at right– well– discuss sexy!

The Theyskens’ Concept collection had major urban charm, including streamlined blazers as well as darker hues. Combined with pointy-toe pumps, the light and also dark cleans some seriously slouchy, low-slung denim looked best for the city woman that has no interest in resorting

The Duchess Wears Eponine London to Mark Hold Still book Launch

The Duchess of Cambridge debuted a new coat today as she marked the official publication of Hold Still: A portrait Of Our nation in 2020. 

The Hold Still project was spearheaded by the Duchess in tandem with the national portrait Gallery.  It was a year ago today that the Duchess launched the endeavor with an interview on ITV’s This morning show, asking people to submit photos showing life in lockdown.

Below, the 186-page hardcover book, which features 100 photo portraits selected from thousands submitted in may and June of last year.

You may recall that the Duchess wrote the book’s introduction. Kate started the day by placing a copy of the book on the grounds of Kensington Palace as part of a partnership with The book Fairies.  

The book after the Duchess placed it in Kensington Gardens.

More from People’s story: 

Ahead of her morning visits, Kate shared footage from her outing in support of The book Fairies — a U.K.-based organization with the purpose of sharing books, leaving them in places for people worldwide to discover — in conjunction with the release of her book. The royal took part in hiding 150 copies of Hold Still in secret locations around the U.K., according to the release.

A Tweet from the book Fairies shows one copy amidst a lovely group of flowers. 

A closer look at one of the books via this Tweet from Alice Borsatti.

And the letter inside each of the hidden copies. 

Copies were placed throughout the UK.  In Edinburgh, Scotland, these St. Mary’s primary school students shared their find with deputy head Fiona Mcdonnell.

Nina Robinson, who has a photo included in the book, placed a book Fairies copy near Crystal Palace Park just south of London.

Victoria Ward reports in her Telegraph story, “The aim of the treasure hunt was to take the 100 portraits featured in the book “back to the community” by allowing the wider public to learn about the project and the powerful individual stories behind each image.” Below, two more locations.

You can see many more hidden copies and stories of how/why they were hidden on social media using the hashtag #HSBookFairies.

Now to the Duchess’s engagements today. Her first was at the Royal London Hospital, where she heard how art is commissioned by the hospital’s award-winning arts and health service, vital Arts. 

She was shown some of the art displayed in the hospital’s wards, waiting rooms, and corridors.

She also heard more about how the national portrait Gallery collaborates with the hospital to bring workshops to young patients and their families. here you see her with director of vital Arts for Barts health NHS Trust, Catsou Roberts (C), and director of the national portrait Gallery, Nicholas Cullinan (R).

One of the pieces the Duchess viewed was the framed portrait of Melanie, March 2020 by Johannah Churchill, which is on the cover of the Hold Still book.

The Duchess takes a closer look.

Kensington Palace reports the photo will “hang in the hospital’s main corridor as a reminder of the phenomenal efforts of NHS staff throughout the pandemic. Further portraits will be given to locations around the UK for public display over the coming months.” 

At the hospital, the Duchess spoke with staff to learn how everyone is coping with the impact of the pandemic. 

A quick video via Emily Nash of Hello.

In January, the hospital was caring for double the COVID patients treated during the first wave. The Duchess also shared photos taken by staff documenting the pandemic.

The Duchess then visited the national portrait Gallery. 

She has been the gallery’s royal patron since 2012. Today she visited the gallery’s archive. 

In these images, you see her with curator Magda Keaney.  The photo being viewed below is of Captain Sir Tom Moore, who raised millions for the NHS (National health Service) Charities; it is one of the one-hundred Hold Still images. 

Kensington Palace reports in a news release, “The gallery is home to the largest collection of portraits in the world, including over 250,000 photographs which span from the 1840s through to the present day.”  another view, this one via The daily Mail’s Rebecca English. 

She also met with Hold Still entrants Lotti Sofia, Niaz Maleknia, and Claudia Burton, whose photographs feature in the book. 

The Duchess listens as Naz Maleknia (C) and Claudia Burton (R), tell her more about the stories behind their photographs and their love of photography.

Now for our look at what Kate wore for the day’s activities.

She was in a new (to us) coat by Eponine London, a London-based boutique brand she has worn previously.  The piece is from the 2018 A/W line and called the Wool Crepe coat with Mandarin Collar. 

The vibrantcoat features a front closure with self-covered buttons, buttons at the sleeve, scoop pockets at the hip, back waist belt, and the Mandarin collar.  thank you to Laura for her identification of the coat.

Beneath the coat, we had a partial look at a skirt the Duchess was wearing. It looks like a past-season piece from Zara, the Pleated Skirt with Belt ($89.90, out of stock).

The pleated a-line midi skirt is made of a poly/viscose/elastane blend, with a hidden zipper side closure, and it came with a self-belt.  many thanks to Michael for a Facebook message suggesting this is the piece the Duchess was wearing. UPDATE: As Katerina points out in a comment, the hem depth is different on the Duchess’s skirt from the Zara skirt. I attributed this to Kate having had it hemmed after purchasing the skirt, but it is also possible it is not the Zara skirt.  

Kate carried a new bag, the Nano Montreal ($395) in ‘smooth toffee leather’ by Demellier London.

The bag measures roughly 7″ x 4.5″ x 3.5″ and has an adjustable, removable strap so it may be carried by the handle or worn as a cross-body style.  Demellier notes its suppliers are “certified by the European leather working Group, guaranteeing the highest standards of sustainability and sourcing.”   The company continues its permanent charity initiative A Bag, A Life, “funding lifesaving vaccines and medical treatments aimed to save the life of a child in need, in collaboration with international charity SOS Children’s Villages and local vaccine providers.” many thanks to Lauren for her speedy ID of the bag. 

Kate brought back a pair of pumps by Ralph Lauren, the retailer’s Celia style ($742), first noted in September 2020.  The Celia is a classic point-toe pump in calfskin with a 4.1″ heel.

She also wore her ‘Empress’ earrings by Mappin and Webb. 

The Hold Still book is available through the national portrait Gallery and also at Amazon UK.  The Rumble reports the book “has become an instant bestseller less than 24 hours after its release. The stunning book stormed to the top of the Amazon bestseller list in numerous categories, including cultural studies, Photography Collections & Exhibitions, Portraits in Art, Architecture & Photography, and the overall Best Seller list.”

Net proceeds from the book’s sale will be equally split to support the work of the national portrait Gallery and Mind, a mental health charity.

Flashback Fashion: must Women Wear Pantyhose?

Back in the early-2000s, old and young generations were clashing on the topic of pantyhose of the sheer nylon variety. Traditionalists argued for the light leg covering, while the up-and-coming fashion divas gasped in horror at the thought.

Budget Fashionista on Pantyhose in 2006

Our action to the dispute in 20016 was this: Apply the common-sense rule. If it’s 100 degrees outside, it’s pretty silly to wear pantyhose; however, if it’s 10 degrees outside, it’s silly not to wear pantyhose or some sort of covering over your legs. use common sense and make the decision for yourself.

Our 2017 Take on Pantyhose

I stand by our 2006 advice: like anything else, to wear or not wear pantyhose is a personal decision. Whatever your choice, follow through with it confidently and just disregard what other people say.

Having said that, you might still want some guidance to help you decide. here are a few considerations:

Pantyhose for formal occasions

Nowadays, bare legs are A-OK at even the most formal occasions. think about awards shows in the enjoyment industry; how often do celebrities have pantyhose on underneath their gowns? You’re better off investing in a good fake tanning lotion. Your legs will glow and they won’t be in danger of catching and tearing when you walk by someone else’s sequined dress.

Calvin Klein Infinite Sheers Hosiery, $16, Macys

Remember that tights are an option also. A pair of tights is a stylish choice for ultra-conservative occasions, like funerals.

Pantyhose for job interviews

A job interview is the only situation I can think of where your choice of wearing or not wearing pantyhose is really important. Wear pantyhose under your power suit if you are interviewing for a non-creative role with a very conservative company (a credit scores analyst with a bank, for example). It helps if you know that the hiring manager is a status quo type, versus the rogue leader who wants fresh blood to shake things up.

Do not wear pantyhose if you are interviewing with a startup or any type of organization that values creativity and thinking outside the box. If it’s cold outside, wear tights instead. If it’s hot, make sure your legs are tidy and go bare.

I realize this all sounds sort of ridiculous — like wearing pantyhose or not determines whether you’re reliable and steadfast or a creative, go-getter. but consider this part of the general bucket of recommendations about how to dress for the job you want. The pantyhose are one component of your outfit, and your entire outfit makes an immediate impression about who you are.

Pantyhose and choice of shoe

Never wear pantyhose with open-toed shoes. This is one of those fashion rules you probably shouldn’t break. If you need to wear pantyhose, reach for the closed-toe pumps.

I will say that, personally, I never wear nude pantyhose. I just don’t like the way they look. I have gone to job interviews, weddings, cocktail parties, work events, you name it, with bare legs. I have gotten offers from those bare-legged interviews, too. Plus, no one has ever commented, positive or negative, on my lack of hose.

Choosing pantyhose

If you are going to slip on sheer hose, find a pair that matches your skin tone. They must be nearly undetectable when you’re wearing them.

Donna Karan The Nudes Sheer-to-Waist Tights, $22, Neiman Marcus

What the Chatter Says

Lots of people have weighed in on the pantyhose topic over the years. here is a sampling of what they’re saying online:

To What Events must Women Wear Pantyhose? Leaf.tv says women must wear pantyhose to job interviews, church and formal ceremonies.
The Pantyhose dispute Continues… The Well Dressed Life says no to drugstore pantyhose brands because they look cheap. invest in a good pair instead or use a self-tanner.
Pantyhose Coming Back in Style? Kate Middleton, Ariana Grande and Miley Cyrus have been spotted wearing nude pantyhose, which may signal a comeback for the flesh-toned leg wear.

Weigh in in the comments! Are you wearing pantyhose and, if so, where?

Nature’s Bounty.

Tree of Thanks. Take a glass vase or some other kind of flute. Fill with tall thin branches, twigs, etc. Next, cut out circles of paper as well as spread out around the base of the vase with pens.

Fruit location Cards. utilize any type of kind of fruit that has a stem: Apply, Pear, Cherry… as well as is of the common “fall” colors. Using string, tie a name note around the stem as well as location on the respective guests’ plate. Viola!

Wishbone Napkin Charms. Martha Stewart knows where it’s at – I love these wishbone napkin charms. Grab some affordable wishbone charms or beads as well as tie them to twine or ribbon, then wrap around each napkin.

Corn Cob Candles. Take big table candles as well as a number of mini corns. Glue to the outside of the candle, as well as tie with twine to keep it all together.

Unicorn nails as well as halo eyebrows are appeal trends destined to die out. however makeup that’s made without harming animals? It’s a pattern that’s quietly turned into a mainstream motion — these days, you can quickly research study brands as well as discover cruelty-free and/or vegan appeal products at your preferred appeal store.

Cruelty-Free as well as Vegan Make-up Defined

The definitions of cruelty-free as well as vegan as they pertain to appeal products have been covered extensively by other bloggers (see links to Cruelty-Free Kitty as well as Logical Harmony below). So, I’ll keep things short as well as basic here.

Cruelty-free brands do not test their formulations on animals, period. There are a couple layers to this. very first as well as most obviously, the final product isn’t tested on animals. as well as secondly, the product doesn’t consist of any type of ingredients that have been tested on animals.

To gage the animal-friendliness of your appeal brands, check out the brand directories put together by your preferred cruelty-free bloggers, Cruelty-Free Kitty as well as Logical Harmony. This is exactly how I learned that NYX Cosmetics is cruelty-free, although the parent business is not. Sadly, other brands that I’ve utilized in the past are on the poor list. one more source for research study is Leaping Bunny, an organization established method back in the ’90s to make it easier for us shoppers to determine cruelty-free brands.

Vegan makeup products do not consist of any type of animal-derived ingredients. Beeswax as well as lactic acid are examples of animal-based ingredients commonly utilized in cosmetics as well as appeal products. There are many, lots of more. To check your makeup labels for animal-friendliness, see PETA’s huge listing of animal-derived ingredients.

Note that any type of provided product can be cruelty-free, however not vegan, as well as vice versa. Also, brands normally take a stand, or not, on animal testing, however veganism is one more story. A brand or product line may have some vegan products as well as other non-vegan products.

Cruelty-Free as well as Vegan top Budget-Friendly Picks

We shopped cruelty-free as well as 100% vegan appeal brands to bring you these top picks. Brands made the cut for having fun, on-point products that are simple to discover at a affordable cost point.

Cover FX

Cover FX is a little pricier than most budget plan Fashionista picks — the flagship Power Play foundation will set you back $44. however the brand does have a loyalty program that gives you 10% back on your spend. I likewise like the variety of products focused on skin beauty, from highlighters to setting sprays to enhancers.

New Cambridge family Photos with Prince Philip & funeral Updates

I am back with a post covering two related topics, the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral on Saturday and “new old” photos of Prince Philip and the Cambridge family released this week.  Below, an image posted on Kensington Palace social media showing Prince Philip with a young Prince George in 2015.

We’ll get to the photos shortly, but first, updates on Saturday’s service.  detailed plans and a list of those attending the service were released by Buckingham Palace today. The funeral will be at St. George’s Chapel on the grounds of Windsor Castle.

It will begin at 3pm local time, 10am EDT/7am PDT.

At 2:40pm a procession will accompany the Duke’s coffin from the State entrance at Windsor Castle to the Chapel. 

At 3pm a national moment of silence will be observed.  

The service is a ceremonial funeral as opposed to a state funeral (the latter usually reserved for monarchs).

Per England’s pandemic restrictions, only 30 are attending the service. (The pallbearers and clergy are not included in the number of attendees per the BBC.)

Attendees are expected to wear masks and be distanced.  The wall street Journal notes, “Singing will be limited to a choir of four standing in the nave of the chapel, singing hymns chosen by Prince Philip.”

More than 700 Armed Forces personnel are providing ceremonial support, per CNN.

The service will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, and the Dean of Windsor, David Conner.

The Duke’s coffin, currently in the private chapel at Windsor Castle, will be placed on a specially-designed Land Rover as it leaves the castle’s State Entrance. Prince Philip designed the vehicle in partnership with Land Rover.

More from The daily Mail: 

His creation of the bespoke Land Rover hearse was a 16-year project. work began in 2003, the year Philip turned 82, and was finished aged 98 in 2019. With heavy duty wheels and angular structure, the sturdy design stands testament to the Duke of Edinburgh’s penchant for engineering and functionality.  Land Rover has maintained the vehicle since it was built and has prepared it for the funeral in collaboration with the Royal Household. 

It will be flanked by pall bearers reflecting the duke’s special relationships with the military, the Royal Marines, Regiments, Corps and Air Stations.  

Hello! reports the coffin will be “draped in the Duke’s personal standard and with flowers, his Naval Cap and sword placed on top…”.   Pallbearers from the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards will carry it from the State entrance to the Land Rover.  

Below, The Telegraph’s graphic illustrating the route. 

Those expected to walk behind the vehicle include Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward, Prince William, Prince Harry, Peter Phillips (the Duke’s oldest grandchild), Vice Admiral Tim Laurence (Anne’s husband) and the Earl of Snowdon. HM will ride; more from Hello’s coverage: 

Prince Philip’s loyal press secretary and long-standing aide, Brigadier Archie Miller Bakewell, will be part of the funeral procession and will enter the chapel, but will not be seated in the quire with the royal family. He was the Duke’s right-hand man for 11 years, taking on the role in 2010.

Similarly, the Queen will be accompanied by a lady-in-waiting and the pair will travel in the same car, although the lady-in-waiting, whose identity will be revealed on the day of the funeral, will remain in the nave and not be seated in the quire.

Others attending the service include the Duchess of Cornwall; the Duchess of Cambridge; Sophie, Countess of Wessex and children lady Louise and Viscount Severn; Zara and Mike Tindall; Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi; Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank; the 2nd Earl of Snowdon (Princess Margaret’s son, David Armstrong-Jones; lady Sarah Chatto (Princess Margaret’s daughter) and her husband, Daniel Chatto.  sky news has a full list of attendees accompanied by photos.     

Preparations have been underway for several days. Below, the scene at Windsor Castle today. 

Here you see Diane Hatcher, a seamstress at Cleave Court Jewellers, as she sews medals and decorations conferred on the Duke onto cushions that will be placed on the altar at the Chapel. 

These include his field Marshal’s baton and RAF Wings, and insignia from Denmark and Greece.

There was a full dress rehearsal today at a military training site in Surrey. 

Today the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall viewed some of the cards and flowers that have been left by the public; they have been collected and are displayed at Marlborough house in London.

More from The Times of London: 

Amid the very public mourning, it was a private moment of grief. The Prince of Wales made an emotional visit to see the thousands of bunches of flowers laid by members of the public in memory of his father, the Duke of Edinburgh.

Buckingham Palace said there should be no flowers. but every day they come, bouquet after bouquet as people flock to Buckingham Palace to pay their respects to Prince Philip.

To avoid them becoming a spectacle that might attract a crowd, all the flowers laid outside Buckingham Palace and other royal residences in London have been gathered up and taken to the headquarters of the Commonwealth, just off the Mall.

Floral tributes included a model of a Land Rover similar to the one that will bear his coffin on Saturday, with the “The Duke RIP” on the roof.

Here is the little Land Rover referenced in the story. 

At the bottom of the post, I have a list of networks carrying live coverage of the funeral. 

Family members continue to share memories of Prince Philip throughout the week. Accompanying the photo seen above with Prince George and the Duke, a statement from Prince William. 

Yesterday, several members of the Royal family posted photos in remembrance of Prince Philip. Below, another photo from Balmoral in 2015. (I love the way Charlotte and the Queen are looking at each other.)

The picture above was posted on Kensington Palace’s social media; this next image was shared on the Royal family social media accounts. 

Taken by the Duchess of Cambridge at Balmoral Castle in 2018, it shows HM and Prince Philip with seven of their great-grandchildren: Prince George, Prince Louis (on HM’s lap), Princess Charlotte, Savannah Phillips (behind Charlotte), Isla Phillips holding Lena Tindall, and Mia Tindall.
