Life in plastic, it's fantastic

Mattel simply cannot pass up a chance to cash in...and I am soooo glad!

Just in time for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's one-year wedding anniversary, the company is releasing a Barbie and Ken version of Prince William and Kate.

The plastic pair are dressed in their wedding-day attire. Barbie Kate in a floor-length, ivory taffeta replica of her Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen gown (complete with lace, faux pearl buttons and she even has a mini-version of her sapphire engagement ring) and Prince William figurine wears a replica of his red Irish Guard uniform. His outfit includes tiny doll-sized medals.

Mattel's William and Catherine Royal Wedding gift set ($100) is available for pre-order online now at BarbieCollector.com .

"I like to be a free spirit. Some don't like that, but that's the way I am." – Princess Diana.

Even if this isn't one of my favorite dresses, Princess Di's wedding dress is one of the most iconic bridal gowns in the history of fashion.

The David and Elizabeth Emanuel-designed gown, which features 10,000 mother-of-pearl sequins and pearls and a 25-foot train, debuts Saturday as part of the "Diana: A Celebration" exhibit at Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn., which will run through June 10.

FYI, in true diva fashion, Diana also had a backup wedding gown in case the design of the first one had leaked.

In addition to the bridal gown from Diana's 1981 wedding, the traveling exhibit includes 28 of Diana's designer dresses, family heirlooms and personal keepsakes like home movies and photos. Now THAT I would love to see!

Not sure if this exhibit is coming to NYC anytime soon but if it does you can bet I will be in line!

Is that you, Amy?

I am loving Jean Paul Gaultier's couture show, which was inspired by the late, cat-eyed vocalist Amy Winehouse. The models, including Andrej Pejic, strutted the Paris runway in sky-high wedges, corsets and towering beehive hair 'dos. Addition Winehouse details included beauty marks and, of course, cigarettes.

Towards the end of the collection, models' faces were draped in what Vogue UK described as "lace mourning mantilla veils." The show ended on a striking note when an Amy Winehouse look-alike graced the runway fully clad in white dress and veil.

Very few things leave me speechless

This is one.

I do not know who designed it but it is perfect.

Meet me at the altar in your white dress We ain't getting no younger, we might as well do it

Over the past few years, I have been watching a shift in bridal fashion. More and more color in the trim, on the sash, in the embroidery - but Vera Wang’s latest bridal collection includes several colored dresses, including charcoal, mint and pink.

I have been in favor of pushing the color envelope for years. Probably ever since I saw Portia de Rossi's stunning peach dress in 2008. My friends may shake their heads but I'm thrilled to see more options!!! Range of choice is key.

Oddly enough, WHITE bridesmaids dresses made appearances in both the royal wedding and that Kardashian spectacles. An all white bridal party? That's breaking the rules for sure.
