ROYAL WEDDING MINUTE.....Civil Wedding of Pierre Casiraghi and Beatrice Borromeo






 Lovebirds: Pierre Casiraghi and Beatrice Borromeo wed at a civil wedding in Monaco's Salon des Glace at the Pink Palace--The Bride wore blush colored Valentino Haute Couture Custom



On Saturday, Pierre Casiraghi, 27, married 29-year-old Beatrice Borromeo. Pierre is the youngest son of Caroline Princess of Hanover (oldest sister to Prince Albert of Monaco) and her first husband Stefano Casiraghi (who died in a powerboat racing accident in 1990). Beatrice and Pierre have been together for seven years...




Trust Funder Cuties: Pierre Casiraghi and Beatrice Borromeo (in Armani Prive Haute Couture)--seen above at the Wedding of Prince Felixx of Luxembourg with Clair Lademacher



WHO's WHO? 

*Beatrice is a member of the ancient aristocratic House of Borromeo--a family that has owned the Borromean Islands in Italy since the 16th century.

*She has done some modeling previously but in case you are wondering she really has no job. Hello!! She's a Borromeo socialite!

*And Pierre, well, his Wikipedia states that he's a "businessman" and is part owner of his uncle--Prince Albert's--construction company Engeco. So, yeah, he also doesn't really work. he loves sailing and going to parties. What else would you expect darlings?







Palace Wedding: The civil ceremony itself was an intimate affair, attended by 70 guests and taking place in the reception room reserved for the reigning sovereign's official family functions at the distinctive salmon-pink Prince's Palace (lower photo) and Salon des Glaces (top photo)



The Couture:

The Borromeo family have a close ties with the House of Valentino--Beatrice's sisters also wore Valentino for their weddings. 



Post Wedding:




Post Civil Ceremony: After the Civil Ceremony, there was a post-Wedding Party at the opulent Monte Carlo Hôtel de Paris in the evening.... 







Haute Arrival: The bride, Beatrice changed into a floor-length white silk organza evening gown for that night's festivities at the five-star Hôtel de Paris...








 The Party Gown: Beatrice's second gown was a $100,000 Valentino Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2015 ball gown with hand sewn sequins and writing-applique 







In case you think this was the end of the Pierre-Beatrice Wedding...think again! This Saturday's Civil Ceremony will be followed by a more lavish, religious wedding in Italy, in the bride's native Borromeo Islands. Can't wait for the Valentino Haute Couture we'll see then! 



Stay Tuned...


Summerish glam

Rochie verde

EN
This dress is from far one of my favorites, I bought it a few years ago from an outlet, and the label says it is from Zara although I do not remember that Zara have had such a collection. I confess that I loved it the first time I saw it and even now after so many years, has a place of honor in my dressing. The model is very feminine and sexy and is also airy being suitable for this hot summer days. Today's approach is summerish, wedges sandals and the wicker bag makes a fresh look all together with the raw green of the dress. Another matching would be with an elegant pair of fuchsia sandals and a biker jacket or if you don't dare too much green goes well with nude or brown accessories. 
Stay fashion!
From Romania with love!

Rochia asta este de departe una dintre preferatele mele, am cumparat-o ceva ani in urma de la un outlet, iar pe eticheta scrie ca este de la Zara desi eu nu-mi aduc aminte ca Zara sa fi avut o astfel de colectie. Marturisesc ca m-am indragostit de ea de prima data cand am vazut-o si chiar si acum dupa atatia ani, are un loc de cinste in dulapul meu. Modelul este unul deosebit de feminin si sexi cat si vaporos fiind potrivita pentru aceste zile toride de vara. Abordarea de azi este una summerish, sandale cu talpa impletita si geanta de nuiele dau un aer proaspat impreuna cu verdele crud. O alta combinatie ar fi cu o pereche de sandale elegante fucsia si o geaca biker sau daca nu indrazniti prea mult verdele merge foarte bine combinat cu nude sau maro.
Fiti mereu la moda!
Din iasi cu dragoste!

Statement fashion

Palarie cu boruri largi

EN
I love the lace items which is why with every year passing more and more such pieces make their way into my dressing.  The black lace top I recently and randomly purchased from a store in Iasi, in which you would not expect to find something nice. Often, we are so accustomed to frequent malls that we just forget the beauty of walking through the narrow streets packed with all kinds of boutiques and outlets where we can find unique or at least some uncommon items than the "uniforms" from malls. Not to tell about prices, most often overpriced that big stores are practicing. As a  (near) future project of mine is buying a sewing machine to express my creativity and passion for all what means clothing design.
Another statement item is the necklace, a model that I was looking to find it for a while I bought it from a stall, a family business of a very cute couple united by the love for each others along with the love for beauty and handmade jewelry. For those interested in some fine pieces, you can enter here
Till next time stay fashion!
From Romania with love!

"There's only one thing 
in the world that turns me on.
And I love her in lace."

Ador piesele din dantela motiv pentru care de la an la an tot mai multe astfel de piese isi fac loc in dressing-ul meu. Topul negru din dantela l-am achizitionat de curand si intamplator de la un magazin din Iasi, in care nu te-ai fi asteptat sa gasesti ceva dragut. De multe, ori suntem atat de obisnuiti sa frecventam doar mall-urile incat pierdem din vedere frumusetea plimbarilor pe stradutele inguste intestate cu tot felul de bouticuri si outlet-uri unde putem gasi piese unice sau cel putin mai deosebite decat “uniformele” din mall –uri. Ca sa nu mai spun despre preturile, de cele mai multe ori nejustificat de piperate pe care le practica marile magazine. Ca un proiect al meu de viitor (apropiat) este achizitionarea unei masini de cusut cu ajutorul careia sa-mi manifest creativitatea si pasiunea pentru tot ceea ce inseamna  creatie vestimentara - asta asa ca o paranteza (smiley face).
O alta piesa statement a tinutei este colierul, un model pe care il ador si pe care il cautam de ceva vreme l-am cumparat de la un stand, afacere de familie a unui cuplu foarte dragut uniti atat de dragostea unuia fata de celalat cat si de dragostea pentru frumos si bijuterii lucrate manual. Pentru cele interesate puteti intra aici
Pana data viitoare fiti fashion!
Din Iasi cu dragoste!
