All the King's horses, All the King's men...

The entire world is now well aware that Prince William is engaged to be married to a
Miss Kate Middleton.
{Let's all give a collective sigh.
I for one, cannot wait for this royal wedding!}

How lucky is she to be married to the heir to the British throne!?
Wow! She seems to be a very down-to-earth, calm, stylish, and smart lady.
In honor of their engagement, I want to do a little fashion review of Ms. Middleton.

Let's face it, the girl can dress. She's got the bod, the money, and the sense.


I love, love, love her sense of style.

It's very well put together, and she consistently looks fabulous...I'd love to take a peek into her wardrobe...which, in the next 6 months, I'm sure will expand to include even more fabulousness...


Here are my top 5 favorite "Kate" looks, from a variety of sources:


1.) The To-Be-Seen-With-The-Queen-Look: This tailored coat: Love the color and cut. (And the hat and gloves! :)

From People Magazine Online:


2.) The Preppy Chic-Everyday casual look: Everything in this makes my heart swell...from the chic squoval glasses on the top of her head, to the fantastic brown belt, white skirt, and brown boots. I really do adore the collared shirt-under-the-sweater look. She could've literally stepped out of a J. Crew ad.

From InStyle: (On Right) {This picture is from 2007, taken at Badminton Horse Trials.}


3.) Plaid is Mad-The girl loves her plaid skirts, tights, and boots. And I do too! I love this look for running to business meetings, HA! IF I were the type to attend such meetings...I think I may be too short & stubby to pull this look off...would love to give it a try though, especially for the holidays! I love the black turtleneck sweater with the chic black blazer thrown over it...but I have to be honest, I just can't handle the light brown purse...it's driving me nuts. LOL.

4.) Day-In-The-City: Love this look for running errands around town. The tailored jacket is great, the white purse I'm in love with...she just looks so polished and together.


5.) To-A-Weddin'-We-Will-Go: I just love everything about this outfit that she wore recently to a friends' wedding...the hat, the re-appearance of the simple black blazer, and that amazing, electric blue dress! I also love that she's left her jewelry to very minimal pieces of a simple pendant necklace, small ring, watch, and bracelet. Nothing too over the top.

{Side note: I love that she can pair pretty much any outfit with her favorite riding boots...the girl loves her boots!}

Anyway-
That's a royal wrap of my favorite looks of the future Princess.

I think she's got a great sense of style, and
all of these looks are attainable by the, ahem, mere commoner.

Jewelry Love...


No matter how many pieces I accumulate...I LOVE buying new jewelry!

For our one year anniversary last summer, my wonderful, loving, thoughtful hubby bought me this:
Tiffany & Co. Tiffany Notes Round tag bracelet. It's one of my favorite pieces! As much as I love it dearly, {and him for thinking of it}, it's my ONLY piece of blue heaven at this point in time. I'm all for quality over quantity, but I love buying cheap trendy pieces of jewelry to update my wardrobe. I hate clothes shopping, and I rarely buy any new clothes unless I'm in a certain mood. Instead I use jewelry for updates. I love going to my jewelry box each morning and picking out each piece for the day!

I always wear my watch & wedding set, and most days a ring on my other hand, a bracelet, earrings, and a necklace also. (Wow, listing all of that out sounds like overkill, but most of my jewelry is simple silver.)

I was browsing around on my lunch break today and found these lovelies at various stores:

This multi-strand beauty can be found at Lerner New York for $29.95. I love the black ribbon woven through the chain...

And for a sizzlin' summer evening...Belk: Nine West Bright Things Worn, orginally $95.00, on sale for $71.25. Would be very cute with a maxi dress and other skinny bangles.

I also love big, gaudy cocktail rings...With a larger statement piece, you can leave the rest at home. Too many things and it will be overwhelming...

I thought this was cute from The Limited: $19.50
Next up is a new browsing favorite: All the Rage Online: $27.00




For other recessionistas out there-The following pieces are all $10.00 and under! Found at http://www.alltherageonline.com/
I love these earrings: $9.00



Cute bangles: Also $9.00!

Another pair of very cute and summery earrings; $5.00!!




OK, my virtual shopping trip is over for now...hope you got some cute jewelry ideas for the sweet summertime!
