A Royal Day

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.  7. 8. 9. 

The day of the Royal Wedding has finally arrived and whether you are having a street party, garden BBQ or doing your best to avoid the day it is certainly an occasion to dress up for. We've selected some of the prettiest, British summer inspired dresses and skirts from ASOS to give you a little inspiration of what to wear for the big day. Personally, we are loving the classic nautical summer dress (middle right) paired with some cute wedges and a straw hat.

Hope you all enjoy the long weekend, no matter what you are doing!

It's getting to that exciting time of year where the festival line-up's are being released, the weather is warming up and summer is in sight. That means one thing, it's time to start planning your festival wardrobe.

We've looked the California based Coachella Music and Arts festival which, in our opinion, has got to be one of the most stylish music festivals for some much needed inspiration to make sure that we're on-trend come festival time.

The major trends that can be spotted from Coachella are Americana, Native American detailing, florals and sheer fabrics. We are loving the use of feathers, navajo patterns, american flags and lace.

The first issue of Rapture Magazine is starting to come together, our first photoshoot for our beauty feature took place last Thursday and we are very excited to give you a sneaky peak of what happened on the day.

We will be featuring a range of spring/summer 2011 catwalk inspired looks including Etro, Dior, Louis Vuitton, DVF and Carolina Herrera which you can re-create at home to keep your look on-trend this season. We hope you are as inspired as we are, summer couldn't come quick enough!  

Who's your style icon?

With so many stylish celebrities around these days the big question is; who is your all time favourite? For us, our most inspirational style icon has got to be Sienna Miller. Her chic, laid back and young style influenced the bohemian style tribe of a generation. She took the boho trend to a whole new level, showing us how to achieve that 'thrown on' look in a feminine and retro way, which to this day is still being referenced. For us, that's got to be something pretty special!
