Be true to yourself, Daaahlings!



Yeesh! It seems everyone's a fashion critic these days. While this is not necessarily the hat style I would choose to wear for the royal wedding, it was Princess Beatrice's choice, and I say Kudos to her for being true to herself!


Did she do it for shock value (you know - shock value - Lady Gaga's meat dress - Bjork's swan dress) - I wouldn't wear one of those either, but there is something to be said for being artsy. Or, quite possibly, this may simply be the hat that spoke to Princess Beatrice. Either way, isn't it so much more interesting to experience different styles? I think so.


At the end of the day, neither I, nor most of the self-proclaimed fashion critics, are likely to be invited to such a royal day of glorious fashion and, really, would we be able to pull off an outfit without criticism?


My point: All styles may not be for us, but can it suffice to say just that, without damaging comments toward a girl who dressed up for a wedding? Just sayin'


At Simply Smashing, we believe a lady should be true to herself - in life and in fashion. Our only style rule is "Be true to yourself." <3 "LIKE" us on Facebook for more Simply Smashing fabulocity! http://www.facebook.com/SimplySmashingBoutique

Love this color!



Love this shade of green - somewhere between emerald & jade - chosen for Pipa's evening reception dress (by Alice Temperley) for the Royal Wedding Celebration! The dress, itself, is beautiful on Pipa -- but the color is gorgeous!


I have two beautiful, Parisian-inspired screens at home with a splash of this color set against a cream/bronze background, and I want to paint some of my fab & funky furniture pieces this color ... I think I'll use this picture for a paint match!
