Right at my core, there is a complex and unwinnable battle. Deep down, I know that to be chic is to be low key. I’ve seen too many pictures of Jackie Kennedy not to believe that the secret of style lies within the well cut. Supple silks and tasteful tweeds will take you everywhere. If you are understated, you will never be underdressed.
Monsoon Eddie embellished dress, £119
But then, the other of me is a MASSIVE GLITTER MONSTER who wants sequins and chiffon and shine, who always wants to look like Lady Gaga closing a show for Tom Jones in Vegas, if there were a Manumission in Vegas. And this Sleeves of the Week selection has somehow reconciled my yin with my yang, bringing me fashion serenity and inner peace. (Oh, come on. Did you really think I was going to get there through yoga?!)
The Monsoon Eddie dress is a bit Queen Elizabeth, a bit Bianca Jagger and a lot 1964. I reckon you could get away with it at a wedding, either as a guest or as a bride. (If you’re the guest, do check – don’t upstage anyone.) The sleeve and neckline detail is pretty blingy, so although the frock is over £100, you’ll save an absolute fortune on the many elaborate and expensive jewels that you’d normally rush out and buy to complement a new outfit. If you must accessorise, all you need is pearl studs and a sturdy chignon.
Steve Coogan’s Paul Raymond biopic, The Look Of Love hits cinemas this weekend. If you leave the screen with a thirst for the mod luxe, this is the perfect dress for channelling Imogen Poots.

Kristen Stewart’s wedding in ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1′ felt like a real ceremony.
The 21-year-old-actress attended the black carpet premiere of the penultimate film in the series in Los Angeles last night with her co-star and boyfriend Robert Pattinson, and admitted she imagined their wedding in the movie was the real thing.
Speaking of her character Bella Swan’s ceremony with Robert’s vampire alter-ego Edward Cullen, she said: “I cleared my mind, I did a pretty good job at forgetting. I didn’t want to remember it for any weird, neurotic, actor-y thoughts.
“I really wanted to remember an experience that felt right for the moment. I don’t know, it felt very natural. It felt like, kind of a real ceremony to me.”
Robert was also struck by the wedding scenes which made him realise exactly what a huge event it is for a girl.
He told E! News: “She looked like she was so terrified, she was so amazing and everyone was looking at her. You suddenly realise how nerve-wracking it is for women.”
While Robert, 25, and Kristen talked about their marriage, co-star Taylor Lautner, 19, was on the receiving end of a proposal from one of the many fans who had lined the streets – and had even camped outside the city’s Nokia Theatre for days to get a chance of meeting their idols.
When asked what his response to the sign – which read “Wife Me Taylor” – was, he said: “I signed it for her. I guess that was my answer.”
The trio spent a considerable amount of time signing autographs for fans and Robert admitted he was overwhelmed by how many people had turned out for the premiere.
He told MTV: “It’s like an alternate reality. My everyday life is so boring, and then you go to these things and everyone thinks something cool is happening.”

Kate Moss offered Mark Ronson’s mother fashion advice at his wedding earlier this month.
The musician married model Josephine de la Baume in France recently and his mum Anne Dexter-Jones revealed style icon Kate was insistent she wear her Saint Laurent bronze platform shoes at all time because they completed her look.
She told New York Magazine: “I was wearing Saint Laurent bronze platform shoes, and it was in the countryside, so it wasn’t a dance floor, and I kept kicking them off.
“And Kate Moss, sweetly, on many occasions that night, helped me put them on again to get up and down. She said to me, ‘Ann, you have got to put your shoes on. It finishes the outfit.’”
Kate wasn’t the fashion conscious person at the wedding, Mark wore a candy-striped three-piece suit and a white shirt while the bride was stunning in an ivory, off-the-shoulder Zac Posen gown embellished with pearls and a cropped veil.
Other guests included Mark’s clothes designer sister Charlotte Ronson, model Irina Lazareanu and pop-star turned designer Lily Allen.

One of the world’s most famous heiresses, Kim Kardashian, has said that marrying her basketball hubby Kris Humphries last week felt like she was “in heaven”.
The two wed in an extravagant fairytale ceremony in California last week in front of a star-studded guestlist of A-listers. While Kim has said that she felt like “a princess” in her Vera Wang gown at the lavishly OTT nuptials, her and Kris still insist that the day was about celebrating their love for one another and their family and not just throwing a great party. Awwww.
She told People magazine: “Glam aside, that wasn’t our main goal. It was really about our family and each other.”
Kim had not one, not two but three different Vera Wang gowns for the wedding and the reception and the guests tucked into a monstrously huge 10-tower cake from Hansen’s bakery. Well, if we were wearing Vera Wang and eating as much cake as we physically could, we’d feel like we were in heaven too.
The ceremony has been all everyone’s been talking about for weeks – but if you’re sad that it’s all over, fear not, because the couple are planning to have a second ceremony soon.

Lily Allen said this morning that her impressive baby bump is making her feel “like a penguin”.
The singer tweeted this morning: “I feel like a penguin, not the chocolate covered biscuity kind, but an actual penguin that waddles … now can’t stop thinking about chocolatey penguins doh! (sic).” Get the hubby to run down the road for you, Lil!
Lily must be really feeling the pregnancy now as she’s just entered the third trimester. Not long until there’ll be a little Allen running around mouthing off to everyone.. We recommend she uses her time wisely now to eat as many Penguin biscuits as she physically can.
The singer is getting into the swing of family life since marrying Sam Cooper earlier this summer, and is getting ready for the new arrival by getting handy with a needle and thread. Lily said on her new hobby: “I’m being taught how to knit. I’m so not rock ‘n’ roll anymore. I’m embroidering too. I’m actually in the process of making cushions.” Awwww.

Kate Moss may have looked like a floaty chiffon-clad gypsy angel on her wedding day, but apparently she was a bit of a choosy Bridezilla in the run-up to the big day as iconic shoe designer Manolo Blahnik has confessed that he had to re-design her bridal heels five times before she was happy with the result. Wowsers.
Manolo, who is one of the biggest designer shoe names around, happily created Kate a special pair of heels for her big day to wear with her Galliano gown but admits that it wasn’t the easiest job he’s ever had.
The designer told WWD: “We did them five times to get them the way she wanted. My workers are the best people. I wouldn’t be here without them. The shoes arrived the day before and there were too many jewels on the heel because of the long train, so we had women working up until midnight to change it.”
Well, we suppose if you’re one of the most famous models in Britain, not any old pair of Blahniks will do. The shoe designer, who’s been a friend of Moss’ for a long time, then went on to say how thrilled he was with her final look. “I’ve known Kate since she was a little girl. The wedding was divine. Kate has such a presence. You just have to feel it.”

Kim Kardashian’s lavish wedding party on Saturday had to be cut short because of complaints from the neighbours.
The party was supposed to go on until 4AM, but a pesky old fire marshal turned up at midnight and ordered the music to be stopped following phone calls of complaints from those who lived nearby.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: “Around midnight DJ Cassidy, who had been spinning for an hour, was ordered to shut down because the neighbours were complaining about the volume of the music. The neighbours didn’t come over, but they called the police. Kim took the news OK and seemed relaxed about it, but her sister Khloe was pretty upset.”
Besides the inconvenient early closing of the party, the wedding was apparently a great success. Ryan Seacrest tweeted after the celebrations: “Beautiful … Kim looked regal, a perfect night. I just danced w the whole family. (sic)”.
The celebrity guests included Avril Lavigne, Lindsay Lohan, Eva Longoria and Demi Lovato. Meanwhile, the newly wed Kim was spotted on Sunday morning coming out of her hotel with her new hubby wearing a new Juicy Couture tracksuit with the words “Mrs Humphries” on the front. Well, we suppose it’s one way of letting the world know.

As if it wasn’t enough to have one insanely lavish wedding, Kim Kardashian is now planning a SECOND ceremony to her future hubby Kris Humphries in NYC, ten days after the first ceremony in California.
The socialite’s CEO of media, Jason Binn, tweeted about the plans for a second bash: “NY Wedding celebration! @KimKardashian, @KrisHumphries - @colincowie & I are so excited to host. (sic)”
The first ceremony, which is going to be televised, is set to be a glamorous affair. Kim is rumoured to be wearing two different $30,000 custom-designed dresses by the celebrity bridalwear designer Vera Wang. We’re so, so jealous over here.
Kim and Kris are going against tradition by asking their guests to wear black and white to the wedding, instead of the traditional grim shades of pastel,while the bridesmaids are wearing green. Why do brides always choose unflattering shades for their bridesmaids?

A huge congratulations to our favourite American designer Michael Kors, who has just tied the knot! Ooh, we love a wedding (even if we weren’t invited or anything).
Kors and his long-term partner Lance LePere had a romantic ceremony on the beach this Tuesday in the fancy Hamptons, the favoured mini-break town for rich Manhattan holidaygoers. Michael said about the wedding: “To marry someone as wonderful and special to me as Lance barefoot on a glorious beach is more than I could have dreamed of.” Aw, it’s making us a bit soppy actually.
The couple have been dating since 1990, but have only finally been able to tie the knot since a recent law allowing same-sex marriage in New York came in. When asked about how the couple fell in love, Michael replied: “We share a certain level of taste, an American point of view, and I think we like to play with Americana. Over the years and the day-to-day process of dreaming together, things just naturally fell into place.” We have to say, that’s a very fashion response.
Congratulations, fellas! This news has made our day.

Kate Moss may be the UK’s fashion national treasure and one of this year’s most beautiful brides (sorry, who’s Kate Middleton?) but she sure knows how to get on the nerves of her neighbours.
In the past she’s been reputed to have driven people crazy in her Cotswolds home with banging parties and loud rock and roll playing throughout the night – and now it seems she’s angering people again as she plans to install a heavy CCTV security system around the North London home that she shares with Jamie Hince
We get that a very famous lady needs a teensy bit more security around their big fancy palace than the average nobody, but it seems that Mossy might have to compromise as the locals don’t want to back down over this.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: “Kate is giving her house a makeover, but locals are unhappy with her plans to install so much CCTV. She was hoping to move in soon, but it looks like she’s going to have a fight with the council planners and neighbours first.”
Camden council have already received complaints about the CCTV plans – looks like it’s going to be HANDBAGS AT DAWN as Kate takes on the council. Fight!

We all pored over the photos of Kate Moss’ long-awaited marriage to Kills rocker Jamie Hince last month – and now the supermodel has revealed that her inspiration behind the big day was her favourite TV show, “My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding”.
The Channel 4 programme, which is all anyone could talk about when it was on telly, apparently mesmerised our Mossy with its lavish nuptials and wedding dresses so big that the brides couldn’t fit through the door.
She told the September edition of Vogue magazine: “I am so romantic about gypsies. You can’t believe the dresses. They’re like blinging butterflies times ten; they can’t move down the aisle! It’s so genius.”
The model’s version was a far more English and pretty affair, however, with a stunning beaded gown designed by John Galliano and bridesmaids wearing floaty white gowns with garlanded hair. We still kind of wish Kate had gone properly all-out on the traveller theme – a fluorescent pink puffbal gown with animated fairylights and butterflies, perhaps?

Petra has a great relationship with Marchesa and often wears their creations to events
Another day, another impossibly glamorous celebrity wedding to get excited about as the sumptuously decadent fashion house Marchesa has been named as the designer who will be in charge of designing Petra Nemcova’s wedding dress.
The model is marrying the actor Jamie Belman next summer and thinks it is “nice” to have a wedding dress by a British designer – she already has a great relationship with Marchesa, having worked with them for years.
Petra opened up to the Daily Telegraph about her big wedding plans. “There are some things set in stone. The date, June 2012, is set, and it will be in England – because we both love England – and it will be in the countryside. And the dress will be designed by Marchesa. The relationship with Marchesa for me has been for many, many years, since they started, and it’s nice to be able to wear them on that special day. We still have one year to prepare so we are working on the other details.”
We absolutely can’t wait to see Petra’s dress – Marchesa has long been one of our absolutely favourite British labels for ages.

As if there wasn’t enough of a media storm around the heiress’ upcoming nuptials as it is, Kim Kardashian has just announced that she is going to be launching a limited edition perfume, Love by Kim Kardashian, to coincide with the big day.
Kim gushed about her new upcoming wedding, “I used to think falling in love was the most incredible feeling, but now I see there’s nothing more special than the enduring beauty of building a life with your other half and watching your love grow, each and every day.”
When we say limited edition we mean really limited – only 1000 bottles have been made for public sale, with Kim keeping her own personal bottle to wear on her wedding day. So if you want to have an expensive keepsake of this silly but amazingly entertaining day, you’ll need to get in there quick.

Anyone who’s got Royal Wedding blues (it’s all over! waaaaah!) should cheer up, because Kim Kardashian’s kindly televising her ridiculously OTT wedding to fiance Kris Humphries.
It may not be in Westminster Abbey, and there may not be an angelic choir singing “Jerusalem”, but I’ll bet we’ll see at least one chihuahua in a dress. The nuptials will be shown over two nights as part of the television special “Kim’s Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event”.
We reckon there’ll be better guests than the Royal Wedding too. Instead of various Earls we haven’t heard of, Justin Bieber probably be there. A source said on the Hollywood happening: “There’s no location yet, but Kim is already invited at least 1,000, and the list is getting longer. The original idea was to have a wedding on each coast, but she now wants one huge wedding. She’ll probably reveal where the ceremony is. She hopes to make a huge entrance. She’s having guests sign confidentiality agreements.”
The ceremony is taking place later this month and I can’t wait..

Outfit 1. Lipsy Pleated Off-The-Shoulder Dress
This dress is sweet and girlish with definite vintage 1970s vibes - perfect for outdoor weddings. Find the dress hereand keep looking through the galleries for accessories ideas on how to wear this dress.
How amazing have the past few months been for celebrity nuptials? We’ve had Lily Allen, Kate Moss and Zara Phillips all tying the knot, and obviously the country had quite a massive nationwide wedding party when William and Kate got married.
Summer is the season for weddings, and with Autumn only just beginning we’ve got a long way to go before it’s over. If you’re an upcoming wedding guest and in a bit of a panic about what to wear (the last one I went to I had a bit of a brain fart and went in a wildly inappropriate slutty black velvet dress) fear not, because we’ve been incredibly good to you and come up with a few ideas.
We’ve compiled three different wedding outfits that we think are perfect, whether you prefer sexier, daring styles, elegance or girly-girly looks. My personal favourite? Lipsy’s floral off-the-shoulder mini-dress, which to me screams summer garden parties and dancing on the lawn. Check out our wedding-guest fashion picks in the gallery above.
