That Fascinating Royal Touch

William and Kate... need I say more? I couldn't possibly be more excited about the Royal wedding this coming weekend. In that spirit, I wanted to blog about something that would get one in the mood for the ceremonies. In a previous post I mentioned Princess Diana's favorite perfume shop, Penhaligon's. Love it still. But for this wedding, let's update... and what better than with a feather hairpiece: the fascinator. Kate Middleton has been a UK press darling in her custom-made pieces (see here), but you can pick up your own scaled down but still fit-for-a-princess headwear. This black feathered clip with gilded chunky jewels (thank you H&M) looks great next to a side-swept ponytail or worn high, like a little hat. The feathers just meld to the shape of your head... simply divine, like a little bird gone aloft. An uncommon touch you can wear to feel a bit royal any day.
