Pippa's latest articles

I know that this hasn't happened recently, but I've been a bit behind!

We've had two articles from Pippa in November (I can't believe that it's already December 6th!!!), lucky us - and no, I am not being sarcastic :)

I absolutely LOVED the article where Pippa is hanging lights outside of Peter Jones in Chelsea (I can't believe that I've walked and taken the bus past that very spot!)!

She really is doing a lot of very interesting things for her Sport and Social column for The Telegraph.

Here is a link to the article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/journalists/pippa-middleton/10432274/Pippa-Middleton-puts-the-stardust-into-Christmas-100-feet-up.html


If you're like me, you'll immediately notice Pippa's adorable sweater! I absolutely love this trend of animals on sweaters (but only some images will cut the mustard - I tend to like birds and bunnies, Talbots makes a cute sweater, and that's about it). 

Unfortunately M&S were sold out by the time I went onto their site. Ebay had a couple of them, but of course they were selling for over $140! 

I found a much less expensive option at oldnavy.ca for $15, but it was sold out in my size :( 


Pippa's most recent article, written near the end of November, had her trying the latest craze in fitness (apparently), hydro-spinning. 


I would just love to know what the Middleton's all think of Pippa's articles, and what the royals (if they're aware, but I'm sure that they are)! 

Pippa is definitely a bit cheeky, and I appreciate getting to "understand" her a bit better through her writing. She's definitely in great shape! 

On a slightly different note, I've been reading two books from the library on Will and Kate, one called "William and Kate: A Royal Love Story" by the Sun (it's interesting, but some of the info is a bit sketchy...) and another by perhaps the more reputable Andrew Morton, "William and Catherine: Their Story". 

The pictures in both books are fun to look at (most I've seen before though), and there are tidbits of information that I've either forgotten or never heard before. So both books offer their own interesting perspectives on the royal couple. 

Oh to to be the fly on the wall in all of their lives! :)







It's been a while...

So it's been a while since I've last had a chance to post, but it doesn't mean that I haven't been following Pippa and the royals!

Last night we saw both William and Kate out, now somewhat a rare sighting since Prince George was born in July.

Kate wore a dress we saw her in last year, accessorizing with a Zara necklace and shoes and a clutch that we've also seen before. She looked very nice, although I have to admit I don't love when she opts for a ponytail - but I thought the ribbon was a nice touch (or at least I think that it was a ribbon...).



And is it just me, or does Kate seem to be filling out her clothing differently now, since becoming a mother? She may have a flat stomach again, but she just seems to be cutting a fuller and healthier figure these days. I love it!

Today though, the Daily Mail has an article and Pictures reporting on the Duchesses trip to a Hospice.

I have to say that I absolutely HATE Kate's outfit! The jacket is pure 80's/90's, and those shiny blue cords with those black boots are a terrible combination! It's very rare that we've seen Kate fail in the fashion department, and if she does strike a miss it usually isn't all bad. But this outfit is just awful!!!



Also, I much prefer when Kate's hair is worn away from her face - lately I don't find it flattering when it just hangs on either side of her head, especially if it's flatter and not as wavy or curly.


But I am loving the return of her chestnut coloured hair! It definitely suits her - I wasn't a huge fan of her lighter hair. There were only a few cases where I admired it.

Sorry Kate!
