A Royal Invitation

So the usual bubbly happy positive Teagan would be all about the Royal Wedding.
I probably would have taken the day off work (from my temp job not my career job-that is a shoutout to you SoMidwestern!) and had a tea-party complete with hats and gloves and dresses.

I would have probably scoured all the details I could find.
I love the Royals...love the idea of everything behind it.
Probably with a slightly childish dream of being a princess.

Then my world went dark.
I will soon tell the whole story of my fairybook wedding I was planning.
To the man I was already married too.
Confused?  Well you should be but it will all come out in MyExboyfriendProject.

I was obsessed.
Well likely because I had nothing to do at all.
Just hours of boredom.
So I planned every single detail of every single thing for the September 2011 wedding.

I dragged my parents to wedding shows (Spencer couldn't come because he had his career in Florida and I was stuck in Canada awaiting my spousal/fiancee visa).
It was a mix of do-it-yourself and some over the top aspects.

My dad and I soon started the tradition over June through September of watching Say Yes to the Dress and Four Weddings on TLC every Friday night.
And then everything came crashing down.

I had to cancel all the vendors.
I remember when we booked everything thinking...gee that is terrible that they have to include cancellation policies...never thinking I would be the one to use it.

I had to make the decision to keep the wedding dress or not? (it was 75% paid for).
When I went to the Wedding Shows I had labels made up of our information so that I didn't have to fill out ballots.
I wanted to win us free honeymoons, and photography etc.

Instead all I got was put on a zillion wedding email spam lists.
So now I get DAILY emails of all the things I'm NOT planning for.
I keep trying to delete and insert filters but still get emails that sneak through daily.

So when the Royal Wedding was announced I avoided everything about it like the plague.
But the last few days it has been everywhere.
And I have to admit I love Kate Middleton's style.

I think she is beautiful and smart and elegant.
So now I'm slowly getting pulled in though it makes my heart ache for what I don't have.
So for now I will safely just admire her fashion.
And maybe just maybe I will watch the Royal Wedding...though I'm still undecided....but maybe.

Here are some of my FAVOURITE of her outfits...enough to make me crave an Issa dress of my own.

The Blue Issa Engagment dress is a DREAM!  Beautifully wrapped I am in love!

The Ivory Engagment Pic Dress is also Gorgeous...

It doesn't hurt to have a FABulous body.  I love white bikinis.

What a coincidence...a Burberry Trench (still saving for mine).

Yesterday she was out shopping in this black dress.  Classic and beautiful.

Of course...my obsession that all started with Taylor in the South...HATS!!!

And my new favourite...Fascinators...I wore one to my own pseudo-wedding.  I'm secretly hoping Kate wears one to her's.  I wore one to Jane's wedding in October and am contemplating wearing one to Eva's wedding next month.  I think they are so formal and fun.

(above is actually her sister I think).

So that is my fashion round up of Kate Middleton... my newest style love.

My Own Place Inspiration

I am currently craving my own place again.
I have had the fortune to be living rent free between my parent's and my brother's place.
But I am super craving my own place again.
Even living in Asia I had three roomates so it wasn't exactly ever my "own place" like when I lived in TX or even PA.  I'm so ready to live in my own place.
Though it doesn't seem likely I can decorate like my inspiration ideas (ie. my bed and dining room obsession decor that I talked about here and here) it's always good to get inspiration.

Here are some of my new ones courtesy of casasugar.com (thanks to Taylor for introducing me to it).

Also courtesy of one of my fav bloggers over at beautiful.dirty.rich these gorgeous inspirational pics and her place is amazing too...check out her posts. 

She is one of the ones I posted about as my most stylish here.  But as I'm apparently overcome with shyness I couldn't message those people to tell them I loved their blogs and gave them an award (boo me!)  Of course how could I miss my fav Gossip Girl inspiration...

And just some girly inspiration too...

Can you tell I'm just trying to fill my time before going to Toronto tonight?

Burberry Goal Number One...and some later additions.

So for as long as I can remember (and as per usual with me falling in love with something in all totality!)
I have wanted a Burberry Trench.  So that is my official first thing to save up for.
It is perfect and gorgeous and timeless!  So with my first $50 in here we go.

The Classic Double Breasted Long Trench!

Did I mention that I love how Emma Watson is their spokesmodel.

Gorgeous scarf that matches the print on my Super Nova Purse.

Seems appropriate for Canadian Weather and I love these!

The Perfect Black Umbrella and lined with Burberry print...LOVE!

SO for now it is just the Trench I am saving for but then I will slowly get these accessories to go with my SuperNova Burberry Print purse.
