From Kate Moss to Kate Middleton, this fashion photographer has captured quite the array of celebrities. His two exhibits, Mario Testino: British Royal Portraits and Mario Testino: In Your Face, are currently gracing the gallery walls of Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, and frankly, I can’t figure out what took me so long to get there. You all know I love a good royal family portrait, and the provocative In Your Face was nothing short of amazing. Emma Watson, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Gisele? Come on now, it was almost too good to be true.

Kayla attended last month’s premiere and rubbed elbows with quite a few faces you may recognize, including Anna Wintour, Giselle, and a certain Mr. Testino himself. Check out the interview for a glimpse of this glamour before you make your way to the exhibit…

The British Royal Portraits will be on display until June 16, 2013, but the fashion photography will be there only until February 3rd. If you’re close enough, run– don’t walk– to the MFA. And as if you need extra motivation, it’s free Wednesday nights after 4 pm :)

If you haven’t already heard, Kate Middleton is one of my biggest style inspirations.

I remember seeing photos of her leaving Buckingham Palace the morning after the wedding in this simple but darling outfit, and I knew I could remake it.

So, ok, it took me a few months to get it together, but I finally did:

Blazer, H&M
Dress, H&M
Belt, Urban Outfitters
Wedges, Gap
Jewelry, Tiffany & Co.

How’d I do?

Happy weekend everyone! I’ll be [finally] moving into my new apartment Saturday and spending Sunday at Rendez-Vous New England!!

edit: AH I was featured in this outfit on A Petite Princess‘s Royal Runway. I live by her blog for all things Catherine Middleton :)

Congratulations to Kate, Wills… and Sarah Burton!

Happy Royal Wedding to you all!

One of the things I was [superficially] most looking forward to about today was seeing Kate’s dress.  We’ve all been anticipating its reveal for months now, and as she arrived at Westminster Abbey this morning, the world got its first full-length glimpse.

Designed by Sarah Burton of British label Alexander McQueen, the lace number was incredibly elegant and simply timeless.  It was tasteful and respectful, but still just a tiny bit sexy with the deep V-neck cut.  Many are comparing it to the style of Grace Kelly.

Grandmother-in-law Queen Elizabeth II even loaned Kate her Cartier tiara for the big day.  The diamond drop earrings by Robinson Pelham were a gift from Kate’s parents.

Sister and Maid of Honor Pippa looked quite lovely herself.  She also donned white– something that is not only not frowned upon in Great Britain, but is actually tradition.  Now I love British traditions, but I still don’t think I’m going to ask my future maid of honor to join me in wearing white on my wedding day!

And how about those hats!  Mother of the Bride, Carole Middeton, in Catherine Walker (also one of Princess Diana’s favorite designers), wore one ever so elegantly:

Watching the wedding on television this morning was truly magical, well worth the early alarm clock!  I wish the newlyweds only the best, and I thank them for allowing all (especially us irritating Americans) to share their day with them.
