Royal Obsession

I'm convinced that any girl that says that she didn't dream about being a princess at one point or another is a big, dirty liar. Everyone should feel like a princess on their wedding day, but for Kate Middleton, her wedding day will be about becoming a legit PRINCESS!

As I am obsessed with all things British and wedding involved, I will be following all of the royal wedding details closely. So far, we know that Kate and Prince William will marry on Friday, April 29, 2010 at Westminster Abbey, where William's mother, Princess Diana was iconically laid to rest. Not too much more has been made public.

I'd guess, in judging from Kate's everyday style, that we'll see her wear something modern, and fashionable, with a classic touch.

Will you be following the royal engagement? What do you think Kate will wear?

Put a Ring on It

With all the celebrity engagements popping up everyday, I wanted to do a post about rings! In reading about Jessica Simpson's recent engagement to former NFL player Eric Johnson, I found out that Eric proposed to Jessica with a vintage Neil Lane ruby and diamond ring, reportedly worth over $189,000. This ring, as pictured below, is drastically different than Jessica's previous engagement ring from ex-husband Nick Lachey, which was very classic and very diamond.

More and more engagements are happening with unique rings. Ruby, emerald, sapphire, black diamond, etc. are becoming popular and chic choices for engagements. Personally, I love the idea of having something less typical, especially if the piece has some history.

What do you think? Traditional or non-traditional? What stone would you pick?
