A few days ago I decided I would not go another day without trying to recreate one of Kate’s up dos. Knowing myself and the amount of tries that would lead to me sobbing into a $4 bottle of wine, I called on celebrity hair stylist Jonathan Colombini. Why? Because he knows what he’s doing,…
In what will be her last set of engagements before welcoming Prince or Princess Alexandra/Charlotte/Alice/Philip/Spencer/Edward, the Duchess of Cambridge made sure that her greatest asset was on point. And on point, it was. I don’t know if it’s the work of Amanda Cook Tucker, Richard Ward, Rossano Ferretti or a group of angels, but those…
I’m so tempted to run with a headline like, “These Two Don’t Need Luck Because They Love Each Other Duh.” Instead, I’ve come up with a more composed alternative to sum up the greatness of this lead image. Today’s total look of smitten-kittenville reminds me of what a royal source told journalist Allison Pearson a few weeks…
Yesterday, the community of “Peeps Who Love A Good Kate Challenge” (hello!) were on the hunt for the makers of a new tanzanite teardrop set worn by the Duchess of Cambridge to the service commemorating combat in Afghanistan. As I expected, a super-sleuth extraordinaire* by the name of “Jenny” help My Small Obsessions track down the jewelers…
Hark! Do you see that? It’s the hair of Catherine the Great, she who has set a new standard for fabulous locks. Greys? Yes, they pop up every now and then, but one has to show one’s subjects that one is a woman of the people and that greys do exist, even for the great and the good….
Today, the Duchess of Cambridge visited the “Downton Abbey” set at Ealing Studios in London, where she toured the trailers, set and accepted a cake made by Daisy (Sophie McShera) and Mrs. Patmore (Leslie Nicol). “She spent the longest time in the kitchen, so me and Lesley [Nicol, who plays head cook Mrs. Patmore] are…
Earlier today, the Duchess of Cambridge attended the 105th birthday party of the Goring Hotel, where she stayed on her last night as a commoner/singleton, according to the Daily Express. Her Royal Highness, who is due in April, wore Erdem’s “Darla” dress from the designer’s 2013 resort collection (currently sold out, according to Lyst).
I first noticedk Duchess of Cambridge’s penchant for an impeccably tailored bit of magic in June 2011, when Catherine visited Victoria Barracks in a navy Alexander McQueen coat. Ranking the coats was a challenge, and it’s difficult not to review my decisions time and time again. There are those that didn’t make the cut, which…
This is why I love walkabouts. Kids are hoping for a Disney princess in a glittering gown, but instead they get a regular — albeit lovely — woman with beautiful hair wearing a nice-looking coat. 1. This little lady in red. View image | gettyimages.com
Thursday and Friday saw the Duchess of Cambridge attend back-to-back engagements, one of behalf of her charity, The Art Room and the other a “fact-finding” visit to The Fostering Network in the North London borough of Islington. “She was overwhelmed by what she saw and heard,” the network’s president, Jim Bond, said. “She was very moved and impressed…
