"IT" is that quality possessed by some which draws all others with its magnetic force. With "IT" you win all men if you are a woman—all women if you are a man. "IT" can be a quality of the mind as well as a physical attraction.
Self-confidence and indifference whether you are pleasing or not—and something in you that gives the impression that you are not at all cold. That's "IT".

Kate Middelton VS Grace Kelly...Which Gown Would You Rather Wear??

    Okay so I taped the royal wedding back in April and  sometimes I watch it again lol. I guess its because I haven't been to a wedding since I was 12 years old! I remember hearing the press, magazines, and websites say that Kate Middeltons wedding gown looked a lot like Grace Kellys wedding gown....
 I only looked this up about a week ago online.. and it it does! I love both their wedding dresses actually. I would totally wear Grace Kelly's wedding dress for my own wedding! When it comes to wedding dresses it gets to be a very personal thing for us, even more so than the theme of the wedding itself.  For my wedding I know I'm probably going to wear a wedding gown from the fifties! I love wedding dresses from the fifties! I love them because they all have some sort of straps, halter top, or off the shoulder straps that can hold the bodice of the dress up,and their very full.  I've noticed that with a lot of the gowns of today, the dresses are strapless. I couldn't deal with a strapless gown.. During the ceremony I think with any woman we'd be pulling it up over and over again. At least if you have some sleeves or straps attached to your dress you can guarantee the bodice of the dress will stay where its supposed to be.

Also I feel with a vintage wedding gown, the gowns of 40 and 50 years ago did more for your figure than the gowns of today do now. On the whole the gowns of today are strapless with an A-line skirting or their just slinky.. Neither one is too flattering to a woman's figure. Maybe thats just me... I just feel that its time for a change! I think I've only seen a winter wedding gown like once or twice.....I suppose the winter is a miserable time to get married, but at the same time its kind of romantic too.... Having a little bit of snow on the trees in the backround in your wedding photos, but then again you could sweat to death in a long sleeved gown... I guess thats one of the pros of having a strapless wedding gown right? No sweat stains from the underarms.. As a bride I could imagine its nerve wracking on the day of your wedding! Therefore you sweat a lot more. Whatever the case... When you think about it, wedding dresses are a very personalized thing.... Its the one day you can look as formal or as casual as you want in the dress you choose to wear... I already know I'm going to wear a big ballgown wedding dress of some sorts, ha.. But when it comes to choosing between 2 gorgeous gowns like Kate Middeltons, and Grace Kellys..They are both gorgeous!
