A Modern-Day Fairytale

Yesterday I watched the coveted event the world was waiting for, and the wait was well worth it! A beautiful couple that met at university, and 8 years and $40 million later, a wedding fit for a future King and Queen is held. Everything was absolutely perfect; Kate looked undeniably beautiful, the wedding itself was spectacular, and William and Kate are absolutely perfect for each other! If anyone could take their eyes off of her, how did you do it?! They make such a sweet couple, and the way William looked at Kate just made my heart flutter. They deserve each other so much, love them together, and I wish them a life filled with love and happiness!

Of course, the thing I couldn't take my eyes off was that dress. That dress. Three words: I'm. In. Love. She looked absolutely magnificent, with the dress being of Alexander McQueen design, with head designer Sarah Burton taking Kate under her wing and co-designing this magical creation. And her sister and mother looked spectacular also. Her mother looked as any mother-of-the-bride simply wishes to look, and her sister's sleek and classical dress made my jaw drop.

I would have made a post about the wedding as soon as it happened, but unfortunately hardly any of the real photos were out Friday night, so I saved this post to report back to you! I'm sure that you all had your eyes glued to the screen as much as I did, but any who, let's let Evana ramble just a tad longer!



















I hope you all enjoyed the Royal Wedding as much as I did, with it's frivolous frocks and classic elegance, because unless Harry (he's my new favourite...) decides to tone down his bad-boy persona, we won't be seeing one for a while!

What were your thoughts on the wedding? And what of Kate's overly-coveted dress, that made many sigh in envy, me included? Let me know down below, in that lovely comments box I know you all love, and I will be holding a giveaway next week! Yay, finally, a giveaway! And just when you all thought I was just too tight to give anything away! :) Also, if you haven't checked out my previous post, scroll down or click away!

Ankle Deep

Today was just another day - drastic sleep in, lazing around and shopping, and I came across yet another shoe shop, and noticed that the majority of shoes on offer were ankle boots. Now I've always been a mega fan, but just when exactly did everyone else become one too? Because I went shopping for longer boots with a decent heel (NOT a kitten one!) and there was absolutely no variety!

So have ankle boots been so popular for a while overseas? Because Australia always gets trends last (which is really annoying, as you could guess), and all of a sudden they're EVERYWHERE. Which is good, because that means more variety and generally lower prices due to competition increases, but now it's as if everyone has the same pair!

To show you what I mean, here are the styles that I've ben seeing and hearing (does that make sense?) around, and some other prettier, more colourful versions. Enjoy, and hope you all had a fabulous Monday!






Crushing on these shoes SO MUCH!!!








What do you girlies think about ankle boots? Rate it or hate it? And thank you for all your amazing comments and welcome to all you new followers, I appreciate all your love! And for those of you considering becoming a follower, show that follow button some love and become one of the beautiful people! Lots of love my dearies!

Too Late To Apologise

My lovelies, before I say anything, I am SO sorry for not posting anything yesterday! I promise I would've posted something, but I was out literally all day, from 8 am through to midnight. And if it's any consolation, I completed the day in 4 inch heels. Very painful, but they're such sexy shoes! So again, I am very sorry, and please forgive me! :(


And now that you've all forgiven me due to the cutesy wutesy bunny rabbit,  I shall continue with my blog post! Yay :)


From metallic finishes to 3D effects, the humble manicure is definitely getting some high fashion twists and alterations. While many of us are more focused on our hair, clothes and makeup, many forget the effect a good manicure can have, whether it be a princess pale pink or a sexy luminescent gold.

I was reminded of the benefits of nailing it when I got a manicure on Thursday, and believe me, the effects and colours on display were magnificent! Of course, my mother was in a hurry, so I opted for a simple light pink (still love it!), but it got me to thinking just how important absolutely everything is, and while it's hard to look perfect all the time, we must come to terms with the reasons that we love fashion icons so much - they were always perfect!

Take a look at Miss Olivia Palermo for instance - from pretty much nowhere she was present at almost every fashion show and in nearly every who wore what segment in popular fashion magazines, with her flawless looks and her polished fashion choices. It seems as if she never has a hair out of place. Obviously it may be due to the fact that her family has money at their disposal and she probably takes trips to various clinics specialising in beautifying, but the fact still remains; she's fabulous, and it's because she's not lazy with her look!

So, my dear friends, it's time to get those fingers out of your mouth (yes, I'm talking to you missy) and paint 'em up with any of the gorgeous shades on offer, or take a trip to the spa and get them taken care of for you (more expensive but definitely more fun, especially with a girlfriend)!












So again I apologise for no post yesterday, get those nails painted and have a fabulous Saturday!
