Pippa Attends Vanity Fair Party

The Daily Mail has published an article, along with some photos, of Pippa Middleton attending a Vanity Fair party in Mayfair today.

The article calls Pippa's outfit "dowdy", but I don't agree.

Although I don't love the outfit, I don't think that the DM's adjective really describes the ensemble. I would say that where Pippa went wrong is that she's chose two "statement" pieces. She should have either gone with a simple black shoe and kept the skirt she's wearing, or gone with a simple black skirt and worn the shoe she is wearing. But wearing both together was a mistake in my opinion. As a result the outfit lacks focus.

I loved Pippa's makeup though, she looked much more fresh today than I've seen her the past few times she's been photographed. It looks like she might not have taken the eyeliner all the way around her eye, but rather stopped the bottom liner before the inside corner of her eye, and same with the top liner. I like it. I think it's less ageing.

GO PIPPA! :)

Aubrey England

I have been looking for a summer bag for a few weeks now and I've discovered a brand called Aubrey England at Town Shoes!

There are three bags that I really like that I've asked to have ordered into the store closest to me:

I really like the middle one best I think... originally I was wrestling between the first and the last bag, but the middle one might be my favourite! So much for not like white bags :) But it's not all white, and it's not white leather, I think it's canvas. Which makes a difference. I also think that the middle bag's trim colour will best match the shoes I just purchased from Nine West too. Plus, a really summery bag like the middle one will ensure that I switch back to my fall and winter bags and use them when the time comes around again!

Hopefully the bags will come in sometime next week!

A Random Video of the Duchess of Cambridge

Here is a random video that was in the related video list at the bottom of a Daily Mail article about Kate today.



Kate Visits a Children's Hospice

It's April 29th today, and it's the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's second wedding anniversary (and my dog's third birthday believe it or not!)!

As the Daily Mail reports though, it's "business as usual" for Kate and William, as both are hard at work.

Kate looks gorgeous in her peach coloured coat and dress! I love the colours on her, it's very spring-like as well!

I notice that she is sticking to wearing shorter dresses lately, I wonder if it's supposed to make her look thinner, as her legs are still in quite good shape? Just a thought. I remember seeing Autumn Kelly (or Autumn Philips) wearing a short coat when she was heavily pregnant and wondering why she would do that. I suppose it also keeps a pregnant woman from looking or feeling too covered up and possibly from feeling too dowdy.

I also love how Kate seems to be doing her lately too. I suspect that she is curling her hair with a curling iron, rather than just blowing it out or using hair rollers. I like it a lot! It makes her look very youthful and the style suits her longer layers/almost one length hair style!

Here are some more pictures of Kate:

Prince Harry and Girlfriend Cressida "On the Rocks"?

In an article published by the Daily Mail today, they make the suggestion that Harry and Cressida, his girlfriend since last June, are "on the rocks".

Read the full article here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2316009/Prince-Harrys-romance-Cressida-Bonas-rocks-says-shes-trophy-wife-young-marry.html

Interestingly enough (and take this with a grain of salt), the article reports that Will and Kate are not that pleased with Harry's choice of girlfriend. I have to say that I can't blame them.

First of all Cressida is quite a bit younger than Harry, by four years, meaning then that she's about seven years younger than Will and Kate. And since Harry, Will and Kate are known to be so close, the age difference between Cressida and the rest of them may change the dynamics a bit. Also, Cressida seems to be a bit more of a free spirit, and I just don't see her being cut out or fitting into royal life. What would the Queen say? Cressida could be a nice girl, but she just doesn't naturally seems like a good fit to me. I never saw Kate wearing leather shorts when she and Will were dating.

I think Harry better throw in the towel and look for someone, dare I say it, more like Kate. Someone who obviously loves Harry, but who also doesn't have so wild a streak in their personality that they can't adapt to the more conservative way of royal life.

Pippa!

Pippa is pictured attending a friend's wedding in the pictures below. I like the dress, but don't love the necklace. I'm noticing that she's really started matching her bag, hat and shoes all of a sudden! Does she suddenly have more money to do so perhaps? :)
