The Royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton is less than 15 days away, and it´s considered "the wedding of the year" for many people. Here are a few curiosities and fun facts that maybe you didn´t know: 1) At Buckingham Palace garage lies the State Landau, a horse-draw carriege in which the newlyweds will make their first tour of London. It was built in 1902 for the coronation of King Edward VII and since then it has been used for the decades by Queen Elizabeth II, was the same that Prince Charles and Lady Diana used to greet the British in 1981 after their wedding, and also was used by the Duke of York in 1986. 2) The wedding will be celebrated in the Westminster Abbey. It is located in London and it is Gothic church that has traditionally served as the scene of coronations of British monarchs. This is the same temple where the funeral of Lady Diana was celebrated.
3) The couple will start their marriage life in North Wales. They will life in the island of Anglesey, where for more than half year they will moved temporarily into a white-fronted house for rent.
4) A lot of souvenirs have been created for this event. Here a few examples:
5) After the wedding, the couple will probably follow the tradition in will show them in the balcony of the Buckingham Palace.
6) A company has used the Royal Wedding theme to make a funny advert:
Halloween is only 30 days far away so I will be posting several Halloween Special features within the next weeks on my blog.
One of the most amazing things of Halloween is how it is able to wake up the creativity of the people. For example, by carving impressive sculptures in pumpkins! Here is a small collection of these pieces of art, it´s a shame they don´t last forever!
Amazed by these wonderful carvings? Make your own with a tutorial I found HERE!

Have you ever heard about the art of Origami? According to Wikipedia.com, "is the traditional Japanesefolk art of paper folding, which started in the 17th century AD and was popularized in the mid-1900s. It has since then evolved into a modern art form. The goal of this art is to transform a flat sheet of material into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques, and as such the use of cuts or glue are not considered to be origami."
I love Origami and the way this art can transform the most simple piece of paper into the most gorgeous and amazing figure. These ones I have found are very impressive, who could have thought they are made by just folding a sheet?
This dragon is stunning!
These decoration balls are fantastic too!
And this last one is not exactly a proper Origami, but it´s an adorable cat via Icanhascheezburger.com :)
Few weeks ago, I posted some of the most strange, amazing and funny hats I´ve ever seen. If you missed them, you can see the original post here.
Here I bring you today some more, many of them from the Ascot Horserace, in Englad. Some are designs worn by very daring people. I hope you enjoy them. Would you wear any of these?
