Here comes the bride.............

Hey ladies,

It's been a while since I last posted and it sucks soo badly.
I had made a promise to post more often this time around, I feel like i'm falling back into some familiar patterns.
I had a very busy week with 40 hour shifts at work and uni assignment as well. Oh did I also mention I will be having exams in 4 weeks time too.
Ok enough sooking from my end.
So how did you guys find the royal wedding? It was good to have that occuping our tv screens instead of all the terrible stuff were use to seeing I guess.
Everyone has had a say on the dress and everything else so I guess I have to have mine :P
To be honest I was not a fan of the dress. All the fuss and it some how just did'nt do it for me.
She is beautiful mashallah regardless but come on!!!!!
I have worked with an Australian bridal gown designer Hilde Heim the last year or so and I have seen better dresses.
Just my opinion ofcourse. hahahaha
I had to get it off my chest.. it's not like it got to me or anything :P

Here comes the bride.........

Lovely bride

Why were people suprised at how modest the gown was?

Reception gown

There you have it..
A little harsh from my end or Is it justified when you think about the price tag.

Love always,

The Royal Wedding and Christmas Dresses for Girls

Christmas Dresses for Girls

I know this isn't the season, but really there's never a bad time to be shopping for Christmas dresses for girls. If you find the perfect toddler girl Christmas dress today, you won't have to panic in November or December, right? We also have really great baby Christmas dresses and little girl Christmas dresses, so there's a selection for girls of any age.

Now, on to what we all really want to talk about: the Royal Wedding/ how handsome guests Mr. and Mrs. Beckham were looking in spite of Victoria's questionable choice of formal maternity wear. That dress was almost right, but something was missing, wasn't it? It's just that it was so plain, and she carried a plain bag as well.

The Beckham's

Why not a really ladylike little clutch instead? Instead she's walking around in this tent-like dress carrying what appears to be one of those black boxes that's guaranteed to survive airplane crashes. It's a good thing she wore the hat and kept Mr. Beckham on her arm, without those gorgeous accessories, I think all would have been lost.
V. Beckham is not my favorite designer; in fact I think she's a rather lousy designer. That being said, I'm still sort of fascinated by her. She's so extreme (read: extremely predictable) and her style, while not impressive, has remained essentially un-swayed throughout how many years and major life changes? The woman is her own version of timeless. Her dress will always be plain but tailored, and her shoes will always resemble medieval torture devices. Also, her husband will always be ridiculously good-looking. Mock her though we may, she's always got that going for her.

How pretty is the color of that dress in the image? I'm not usually into pinks or reds, but that rose shade is gorgeous. I also really love the silhouette, it's such a perfect girls party dress. She could wear it in any season and look fabulous.

These Boots are Made for Walking | Sophias Style

Girls Boots

I have a thing for boots. I love them, I wear them in all seasons with all my clothes. I don't think there is any such thing as an outfit that can't be worn with boots, and I firmly believe that an adorable pair of boots has the ability to improve even the blandest of ensembles. Every lady ought to own four pairs of boots; cowboy boots, rain boots, heeled ankle boots and black riding boots. You can (and should!) build your collection further from there, but those are the must-haves. Rain boots will get you and your favorite socks and pants safely through the spring. Cowboy boots will add a flirty feel to any casual look in any season. Black heeled ankle boots with black tights and a skirt or dress will make your legs look six miles long, and lastly, black riding boots will make you look chic and pulled together on all of those days when the idea of wearing heels is simply too much to bear.

Now, a child's wardrobe certainly doesn't require the scope and variety of a lady's wardrobe, but I do still believe every little girl should at least have some cowboy boots and a pair of rain boots. Cute and functional. Happily, Sophias Style has been expanding our collection of girls boots, and now we've got a pretty impressive selection. I especially love the pink pair by Roper Kids featured in the photo. The heels will light up when she walks, how much fun is that?! Light up cowboy boots for girls, it's a brilliant idea (no pun intended). We also have a lot of girls baby boots, including soft soles, so your youngest fashionista can learn to look stylish even before she learns to walk! It's never too early, right?

Christening Gowns for Girls at SophiasStyle.com

Baptism Gowns for Girls

Baptism is such an exciting event for new parents, but it's also a very special day to relatives. It's a chance for everyone to see, and maybe even hold the newest member of the family, possibly for the first time. For such a special day, you need a very special baptism gown. This is more than just a baby dress, this is something that will be admired, photographed and probably saved for years. In fact, many families decide to save baptism dresses as family heirlooms.
Sophias Style carries newborn Christening dresses that are beautiful and intricately designed, they make perfect heirloom dresses that you can pass on from generation to generation. You can shop for boys baptism outfits or Christening gowns for girls at SophiasStyle.com. We carry a variety of styles, so you can find just the one to suit your baby.

Girls Costumes at Sophias

Baby Girl Costumes

I know it's a rather silly time of year to be discussing halloween costumes for girls, but let's think outside the box for a minute: Costume usage does not need to be limited to one single night a year. Costumes are too much fun to be hidden away for 364 days out of every year! Why not have a spring costume party? Think how much fun your daughter and her friends could have dressing up in girls costumes for a sleepover.
I nearly bought a couple of baby girl costumes for a friend's little girl yesterday, in the end I decided not to because she may have already outgrown those sizes. But these little tutu skirts with the matching headbands are so sweet, I just want to buy one for someone! *Sigh* T-4.5 months until my brother will be married and hopefully on his way to getting me an adorable little neice!

Have a happy Easter weekend!

Kids Rainwear | Sophias Style

Girls Jackets

I don't know about everyone else, but I love rainy days and thunderstorms! Is there anything more wonderful than snuggling up in a warm bed and falling asleep to the sound of a good spring storm? I also love the rain because it provides me with yet another excuse to shop for cute accessories. In the springtime, I never leave the house without my favorite trench and a cute miniature umbrella tucked into my purse. If rain seems likely, I wear rainboots and carry a pair of ballet flats in my purse to change into later.

If you're also a lover of rainy day accessories, then you're in luck! Now you can buy cute rainwear for your kids at Sophias Style! We have so much fabulous girls outerwear, including girls jackets and girls coats that would be perfect for keeping her warm and dry all spring. We even have baby girls outerwear to keep your youngest looking stylish all spring long!

Girls Designer Shoes | Sophias Style

Girls Designer Shoes

Have you checked out our girls shoes department at Sophias Style lately? If you haven't, do yourself a favor and click the magical blue words, because they will transport you to what I believe just might be the most enormous shoe selection you have ever seen. We have started carrying some truly fabulous girls designer shoes by brands like Roper Kids, Nina Kids and John Deere.

I especially like the new styles of baby girl shoes, like the John Deere soft sole boots, they're so darling!

You know what's strange? I honestly think I owned more shoes when I was a kid than I do now. It's because I'm picky, I won't buy shoes unless they're perfect and really great quality (read: overpriced), which means I don't have the luxury of being able to run out and buy three new pairs any old time I feel like it. Kids are so lucky, I never manage to find cute shoes like the ones we sell at Sophias for such great prices. Did you know Nina Shoes were featured in Vogue Paris? And now you can buy them on our site for only $29.99! Buy your daughters, neices and granddaughters lots of great shoes while you can!
