If I were to play princess for a day...

I would choose to wear Monique Lhullier's Stardust Embroidered 3/4 sleeve gown from her Ready to Wear, Spring 2011 collection. 
Gown via Monique Lhullier website.
Monique Lhullier's inspiration for this collection came to her while dreaming of a beautiful girl running in the Garden of Eden.  The sparkling sequins on the gown represent the sun gleaming off of the dress (from Monique's dream) and when combined with the feminine, playful fabrics makes a simply divine creation.  Pair this dress with the Dior rose ring below and I'm in heaven.

What would you wear?

A ring fit for a princess... or two.

I definitely have chosen the best day to start my blog.
It is official, Kate Middleton has received the most fabulous and well-known engagement ring in the entire world.  As you may have heard, Prince William proposed with Princess Diana's sapphire engagement ring to soon to be wife, Kate Middleton of Berkshire, England. Not only is it über romantic to inherit your fiancé's most prized family heirloom, but she will become a princess and live with a rock fiscally equal (£250,000) to a moderate sized home on her finger.  However, the best part behind the story of the ring is that Prince William wanted his mother to be a part of the occasion by passing it on to his gorg fiancée.

The central stone is an 18 carat oval sapphire (stunning) with clustering diamonds set in white gold.  Princess Diana hand picked this ring for herself because she thought it was "simply beautiful." Kate chose to wear an amazing blue dress that matched the ring for the engagement announcement held today. One lucky lady.
