Friday's Fancies with (av)!

Happy Friday, everyone! My name is {av}! On most days, you can find me posting on my blog, {long distance loving}. I'm sure many of you are as enthralled as I am in the Royal Wedding festivities--which is why I'm hosting a special Royal Wedding edition of my weekly link-up, Friday's Fancies!

Here is an outfit I would love to be wearing if I was among the honored few invited 

to witness Kate and William on their big day :)

1) This bold royal blue Stella McCartney Sleeveless Dress keeps it interesting--without stealing the show in the way red or hot pink might ;) I also liked that the lapels of the dress could be pulled out over top of the gorgeous blazer below!
2) Let's be honest: if you're a royal wedding guest and you're a female, chances are you're going to have a headpiece of some sort for your wedding get-up. This Philip Treacy Beano Fascinator called my name immediately--it has a certain sass about it and I love it!
3) All my research pointed to wearing understated studs for the Westminster festivities, so these Mikimoto Floral Earrings provided some flair without going overboard.
4) I wanted to go all out and include this Tiffany & Co. Sapphire and Diamond Owl Brooch on my lapel. I'd feel royal just holding it, so sporting it would be that extra oomph in my book!
5) These Manolo Blahnik Something Blue Satin Pumps keep things a bit more conservative since they are closed-toe, but the bling on the toe helps spice things up ;)
6) When I spotted this Carven Silk-Bourette Jacket, I gravitated toward it from the get-go. It would hit at the perfect point on the hip without adding too much volume to the overall look. I liked the contrast between the ivory and the royal blue too!

I'm so honored that Michelle asked me to guest post for her here on a little bit of this & that! She has been a Friday's Fancies faithful for more than a month now--and I'm so happy to have her among an incredible group of fabulous and fashionable ladies who link up week after week! I'd love to have you as the next Friday's Fancies faithful--check out this post for more information on how to make that happen :)

Happy Friday, everyone!
