The Royal Treatment
Every girl…or so we’re constantly told…wants to feel like a princess. At least a little bit. More often than not, those fantasies come out on wedding days and anniversaries, as well as, of course, a certain pending heart-themed holiday. Today’s gifts are in honour of that general theme – things to indulge in that small (or big, who am I to judge?) part of you that is craving the royal treatment.
Fascinators – See info / links below!
After last year’s Royal wedding, everyone was talking about the stunning headpieces that are the tradition of British high society at formal events. Now fascinators are gingerly making their way into mainstream culture, with Hollywood celebs and everyday gals donning them at all sorts of special occasions. If there’s a wedding on the horizon for someone you know this year, consider picking up a fascinator for the event. Score simple feather clips for your bridesmaids, a special piece for the mother-of-the-bride, or even something for the bride herself.
Pictured above (from left to right): Turquoise Enamel Flower Fascinator – $78 @ Curio Designs (Canadian!)
Fuschia Butterfly Fascinator – $25 @ Crown and Glory
Golden Yellow Fascinator – $167 @ Arturo Rios
Pink Velvet Flower Clip – $14 @ Urban Outfitters
Red Rooster & Pheasant Fascinator – $35 @ Clever Plumage (Canadian!)
5 ¾ Created Sapphire & Diamond Sterling Silver Ring – $115 @ Ice.com
I mean, sure you could go the really literal route if you’re planning to get engaged, but I think if you’re going to channel a certain Duchess’ legendary ring, you may as well go for a funky chunky cocktail nod instead. Great for a night out with the gals – to let the guys know you’re taken – or if you’re simply wanting to dazzle up your everyday wear, this is a sparkling gem that won’t require a Royal salary to afford.
LK Bennett Sledge Pumps in Rose Gold – £195
People are crediting the Duchess of Cambridge with launching shoe brand LK Bennett into the upper stratosphere of fashion – particularly because the shoe of the economical Royal”s choice is a simple pair of classic beige pumps she’s been photographed wearing dozens of times. The LK Bennett folks are no slouches however; they’ve released a half-dozen incarnations of Kate’s favoured footwear, including this fashion-forward metallic rose gold pair. A serious splurge for a special lady, no doubt!
Naked Decor Pillows & Bookends – $44.95 to $49.95
Show your allegiance to the monarchy with these fun home decor accents from Naked Decor – perfect for the royal-obsessed in your household or circle. The pillows make a fun accent to anyone’s TV lounge, while the bookends are a quirky yet modern accessory for the office.
Vera Wang Princess Night – $50 @ Shoppers Drug Mart / Pharma Prix
Did you know there has been no less than five incarnations of Vera Wang’s blockbuster perfume Princess? And the latest limited edition certainly doesn’t pale in comparison – nay, it dazzles. From the spangly deep plum heart-shaped bottle to the gem-emblazoned crown topper, this is a scent fit for a lady-in-waiting. This evening re-envisioning of the fragrance shares sweet sugar and vanilla notes with the original perfume, but is switched up with a sparkling blend of juicy watermelon and berries.

I’d love the sapphire ring!
Thanks for the chance
how do you choose a favorite? they all equally please me. I’ve seen girls wearing the fascinators and have thought they look adourable. I just haven’t been brave enough yet. It would have to be the perfect place to kick off my new look…maybe a night out dancing with the girls? As far as the ring goes, what girl doesn’t like bling? 🙂 The pillows would add to any princesses bedroom and those pumps remind me of cotton candy. I want to eat em. The perfume intrigues me, especially since it reminds me of my fantastic Xmas tree decorations. Soooo sparkly!
You’re too funny! Glad you liked everything in this post, and good luck in the contest 🙂
The beautiful ring is my princess pick 🙂
henglish at nb dot sympatico dot ca
I really like the Golden Yellow Fascinator!! But would I ever be brave enough to wear it?? not sure…
I like the decor pillows
Love the rose gold pumps for myself! And I think my daughter would look awesome in a facinator for her wedding next summer – love how the veil can be incorporated into the design.
Hey Lisa! There are a ton of wedding-friendly fascinators on Etsy so be sure to tell her to check it out. I just focused in on sort of all-occasion ones. Not that most people have MANY occasions to wear fascinators of course…
Hey Lisa! You’ve actually been selected as the potential winner of this contest – however I need to hear back from you by midnight on Sunday, February 19th. Can you please send me an email at canadiangiftguide -at- gmail -dot- com?
My neice loves Vera Wang Princess Night and I love the shoes.

I would so love to wear the yellow flower fascinator, in a small community like mine wearing something catchy like this is noticed and I love to go out there and try new stuff. I would love to give it a try and see how it goes =)

Sapphire & Diamond Ring , adorable
I’d probably choose the ring! Thanks for another great giveaway and for your wonderful gift suggestions.
I will go for the Naked Decor Pillows & Bookends. Why? Just to be different lol.
With 3 princesses in my house, the Vera Wang Princess Night fragrance would be the perfect gift to give them. The scent sounds delicious, I must check it out.
I’d love to win the Princess Perfume for my sister. She’s a Princess in many ways and has the biggest heart and she deserves to smell wonderful.

The Fascinators are fantastic-inators! Haha! While I naturally lean toward sparkly objects (thus the sapphire ring) the Fascinators are really quite fetching!
I would like to win the perfume for the lucky lady
That’s easy!! A bottle of Vera Wang’s glittery, glorious new perfume, Princess Night!! I’m not fancy for hair accessories, do not wear heals, the pillows don’t do a thing for me, and I am allergic to silver! lol, only one choice left!

the Vera Wang perfume
I’d love to get the perfume. I love the bottle and I’m sure I’d love the fragrance too!
Thing the shoes are amazing but since I am not allowed to wear heels I have to go with the ring it is beautiful but the perfume is so amazing love love love the bottle oh no I love them all don’t know which I want more ring bottle ring bottle no I can not decide
winlorna @ gmail.com
My first time on this site, I would love to try the perfume, I think it would be soft and very subtle. Second choice would be the shoes, although at my age, I don’t think I could wear such high heels, but in this case, I would certainly try. Thank you.
My pick would be the pillows, love them!
For me it is definitely the perfume…since my husband complains I like to bath in the stuff….I am always on the lookout for a new supply!
I’d LOVE the blue or yellow Fascinator-love the netting on the blue one!.
And I am one of those people that would take anyone of the gifts you had to offer. I fear I would hurt one of the gifts feelings if I were to choose one over the other 😦
I could wear a ring of a “People’s Princess” , A shoe of a Cinderella , sleep like a Queen (or at least Sleeping Beauty) and smell like a Princess of Night!
Far be it for me to pick favorite! 🙂
For me it is a toss up between the naked pillows (perfect for my living room) the Princess Night perfume and the sapphire & diamond ring (perfect for disposing of the February blahs). After all what woman wouldn’t love a little “Royal Treatment”?
Simply adore Ice’s version of that iconic ring that Lady Dianna once wore, and has since been given to Kate, it would be a real “honor” to own such an amazing 5 3/4 created sapphire&diamond sterling silver ring, so lovely to wear everyday!
I would love the pillows & bookends from Naked Decor!
I would really like to win the sapphire ring…it is beautiful!!!
I love rings so I would go with the Saphire and diamond ring.
Love the ring and the shoes!!
I love the shoes and the ring the best:) They would look great on me!

Thank you for the chance, whoever gets any of the items in this post will be very pleased. 🙂
All the best.
Love, Vanessa
OMG those sledge pumps are crazy cute, would love a pair!!
Nice design! Really pretty. It might make me to start using perfume.
I absolutely love that ring:) I’d wear it everyday. I had one just like it but it wasn’t real silver so it turned my finger green and I can’t wear it anymore.
The sledge pumps for sure!!
I would enjoy receiving the Sapphire & Diamond Sterling Silver Ring.
I can never have enough shoes and I have never seen a pair in that golden shade. They are gorgeous.
I wear a lot of hats so the Golden Yellow Fascinator would be my pick. This win would be so awesome!
