Next year in spring or summer 2011, 30 years after the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana, their son will finally tie the knot.

William proposed to Kate on a safari last month, but today the newly-engaged couple, both 28 years old,  faced the cameras for the first official engagement photo. Prince William honoured his late mother by giving his fiancée Kate Middleton the engagement ring which was Princess Diana’s from Prince Charles! The ring is an oval 18-carat sapphire surrounded by diamonds.

Kate, a classic beauty wore a bright blue wrap dress by Issa London. The fashion label founded by Brazilian designer Daniella Issa Helayel is known to be one of Kate’s favourites. Rumours are out that she might do the wedding gown as well.

The royal colour matched her massive ring and the dark blue suede pumps finished off her look perfectly. Two decades ago, Princess Diana wore the same shade as well for her engagement.
Kate and William looked so in love today that I am sure all of these similarities are meant to be and a good omen.

To a fashionable happy royal wedding!

Finally we have an exciting preview of what Tom Ford has designed for his upcoming eponymous S/S 2011 womenswear collection. The master’s comeback to ladies dressing after six years is fashion meganews and he kept it pretty secretly which has made the hype even bigger.
The December issue of US-Vogue, with Angelina Jolie on the cover, shows some amazing photos of the new must-haves.

Me with Tina Turner and Tom Ford

Glamour is, after all, what Mr. Ford is for in fashion. But his vision has changed a little, he is not designing for the trendy Gucci girl he left behind, he is more into reaching the Chanel and Armani league.

„It is about individuality. The Seventies is what I love. Soft, touchable beauty is what I love,“ says Ford. And we love you Mr. Ford! Cannot wait to become a Mrs. Ford… Thank God we have a Tom Ford boutique in Zurich!

LoL, Sandra
