Today, Queen Elizabeth II visited City and Islington College in London, carrying a charming bouquet of pastel blooms. The flowers are such a fresh, Spring-inspired choice, that I had to share the elements, so you could re-create it for your home.
Here's what you'll need:
What are your favorite flowers for a springtime bouquet?
"I'd be crazy to sit here and tell you that I've never thought about it. [But] I never can beat myself up about it. I definitely am not restrictive. [Laughs.] You're a human being, you live once and life is wonderful, so eat the damn red velvet cupcake."
— Emma Stone on the pressure to measure up to Hollywood's standard of staying skinny. Emma is one of three actresses photographed by Matthias Vriens-McGrath for Glamour's May issue, which will be on newsstands April 5. Ashley Greene and Freida Pinto were also chosen by the magazine to show off bright floral looks for the Spring.
>> Sun protection is key during the Spring and Summer months, so we rounded up our favorite toppers that will surely keep your face free from harmful UV rays. This season's freshest crop boasts a wide variety of shapes and colors: a reddish coral straw floppy hat from Urban Outfitters, femme bow cloche from Topshop, crisp and streamlined fedora from Lacoste . . . and more of our favorites in the slideshow. Feeling shady never looked so good.
Is Nicky Hilton reading our collective Fab mind? We recently wrote about the white lace trend for Spring, just after we highlighted contemporary designer Charles Henry as one of five up-and-coming designers to watch. Behold, Nicky Hilton looking tan and gorgeous in a short lace dress by — you guessed it — Charles Henry. Love the look? We found a Charles Henry lace top ($258) and skirt ($285) that could be worn together or would look great separately.
This one's for all the girls who prefer a grittier Spring: if lace and eyelet aren't your thing, we suggest you get with this season's other hot trend — '90s grunge. Gisele Bundchen showed off the look to perfection in her Spring ad campaign for Balenciaga, and now we're breaking down our favorite pieces for the warmer months ahead of us. A marled sweatshirt tee from J.Crew, neon green leather skirt from Christopher Kane, dagger bracelet from Fallon . . . and more pieces, and why we love them, in the slideshow.
>> Now that we've whet your Spring shopping appetite, it's time to focus on the pieces that are going to be your tried-and-true staples for the next coming months. Think '70s flared jeans, a breezy linen striped top from J.Crew, comfy everyday wedges, and a pair of cool sunnies — made in a rad retro round shape — from The Row. Check out the slideshow for our top eight basics, and why we love them!
>> We're expecting a load of rain showers for the next couple weeks, so we rounded up some of the best rain-repelling (but still stylish) gear for you to stay dry in. There's a cute Marc by Marc Jacobs umbrella to add a little sunshine to your day, a smart canvas coated coat from Opening Ceremony, waterproof booties, and a windproof bucket hat from Urban Outfitters — that should do the trick. But there's more where that came from — check out the slideshow for more of our splash-proof favorites!
Print ads are great, but there's something about videos that take campaigns to the next level of fashion greatness. And that's exactly what Stefano Pilati did, along with Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, for Yves Saint Laurent's Spring collection. Like the hard copy, the scene took place in the gardens of a 1930s villa in Marrakech's Palmeraie resort, reminding us of Yves Saint Laurent's love for Morocco. Inez and Vinoodh beautifully captured video shows Arizona fading in and out of palm trees all while wearing exquisitely cut gowns and jumpsuits from the collection. A fine four minutes you don't want to miss — check out the video now!
