The Scene
Westminster Abbey was the location of The Royal Wedding for Prince William and Kate Middleton. Expections were high and a nation with political and social problems united as one on this joyous occasion. The red carpet rolled out for the royal members of the royal family. We are here to list the fashion trends we saw on the early hours of New York standard time. The event was timeless and the new generation of royalty said their "I do's" to officially claim their stage of holy matrimony. Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip (Queen Elizabeth's husband), and Prince Charles could not have been anymore happier then seeing their young millenial prince find his true love in Kate Middleton. As for Kate Middleton's parents, I applaud them for fitting in and presenting themselves quite prestigious on today's wedding coming from the middle-class. For fashionisitas, color and "hats" were a big thing. The main fashion curiosity, which was Kate Middleton's wedding dress was finally revealed. Here are our skimmed trends of the Royal Wedding.
Prince William (Now, Duke of Cambridge)
The prince wore a bright, red military uniform which belonged to a brave Irish soldier he met while being stationed in the UK. The combination of red coat and black slacks was classic British combinations (example; British guards). His 2 medals were attached on his left pec to distinguish his service in the Air Force of Britain as well as a lavendar sash representing the Irish soldier's bravery.
Kate Middleton
Her wedding dress, designed by Sara Burton for the Alexander McQueen Council, featured a beautiful lace top with sleeves, a modest lengthed train, and a classic adorned veil. Her minimal jewelry was perfect enough to keep her classy look and not overbear her dress.
Queen Elizabeth
Her majesty wore a two piece suit in bright yellow. She topped it off with her signature adorned hat in yellow as well.
Prince Harry
The "best man" wore a black military uniform in traditional adorned shoulders and front with golden ropes. His 6 medals for his military service were attached on the left side of his chest.
The Distinguished Guests
If Lady Gaga was the special musical guest and Alexander McQueen was still alive today they would be very proud of the trend they established in the past 3 years. The sea of colorful hats was apparent, but it did not stop these fine women from showing off some fashion. Each hat was of a different design either fully fitted, kindly tilted, or halfway frontal. It definitely stood out to distingush each women's outfit. SHOES: Our favorite section! Jimmy Choo prevailed as the Royal shoe of the day. The different bright colors were apparent, but the designs stayed classy and sexy. The majority wore styles such as dorsay and classic pointy pumps.

Always Stay Healthy; Quick Simple Tips
We have all heard it before. Eat right. Exercise. Get plenty of sleep. Sometimes our hectic work and lifestyle does not allow us to balance all three on a daily basis, but I have singled out a few habits which should be put into your daily lifestyle to maintain a wonderful, healthy you.
Drink (8) Glasses of Water Everyday- Water boosts your metabolism and keeps your organs running smoothly. Use your thirst as a guide for when and how much to drink says, Holly Phillips, MD, a women's health specialist. You should not worry if you have gone a whole day without drinking much. You most likely quenched your thirst through foods with high water content. Some high water foods are soups, pasta, rice, fruits, and vegetables.
Work Out for (1) Hour Daily- A study out this year suggests women must do 60 minutes of exercise daily to keep from balooning as they age. There is no need to be boggled by this eact time. Study shows 30 minutes will keep your average body frame fit. As long as you get a 30 minute cardio workoutfour times a week, you should stay in shape.
Wearing Heels will Deform Feet by 40- As much as we emphasize comfort here at Sergi Shoes, we still like to be able to wear and see our customers look great with their heels on. We recommend switching up from heels to flats or sandals after the work day. The fit of the shoe is what will determine how heels effect your feet. Boston podiatrist, Jordana Szpiro comments "Just a half -size in the length and width can lead to blisters, bunions, calluses, foot and leg pain." Not wearing the right size makes your feet form to the too-small space and creating skin rub or frction. If you wear tight shoes, all of your weight is shifted to the balls and toes of your feet. Your weight should be evenly distributed between the balls and heels. Mke sure you can wiggle your toes comfortably when you are standing up and feet have slid forward a bit. Make sure your sides don't feel pinched.
You Need Tons of Fruits and Veggies- It is easier to consume 4-1/2 cups of fruits and vegetables. a small apple, 8 strawberries, or 12 baby carrots count as 1 cup. An entree salad or bowl of veggie based soup can be counted as 2 cups or more.
10 Extra Pounds can Cause Health Problems- Carrying up to 10 extra pounds won't substantially increase your chances of diabetes, heart problems, cnacer, or any other condition," says Steven Nissen, MD, chairman of the department of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic. As this number rises past 10 pounds , there will be the chance of health complications. The extra weight we are talk about is the wait centered near your belly. These are fat cells that surround vital organs and lead to health problems. The fat cells above your hips can lead to heart issues. Want to check your ideal weight for your height, use this equation to see what your weight should be. (5 x height in inches above 5 feet + 100 =____)
Not Rested Without (8) Hours of Sleep per Night- "Plenty of people feel reasonably rested after six or seven hours, while others may need eight one day after being more active than usual yet require less the next," says Thomas Balkin, PhD, chairman of the National Sleep Foundation's board of directors. There is no universal number that applies to everyone everyday. Listen to your body and figure out the sleep it needs. making yourself try to fall asleep my lead to stress, anxiety, and ultimately, a poor nights rest.

Honoring Elizabeth Taylor Fashion
In honor of the late Elizabeth Taylor, we have created a pictorial of the fashion that Ms. Taylor gave to us as a Hollywood A-lister. She demonstrates a sense of elegance, sophistication, and grace which drew men to her and made Hollywood want her for her. She inspired future generations to dress how you feel and be who you want to be. Thank you for all the memories Liz Taylor.
