Kate and William were out and about with Victoria and Daniel again today, and while I looove her red-and-white houndstooth coat, my eyes were drawn to the new pearl earrings she was wearing. They were identified as the In2Design baroque pearl drop earrings ($152). Baroque pearls are quite cool because every pair will be totally unique, and while this is definitely not a terrible price for a handmade pair of fine earrings, the bargain hunter in me is screaming because I know how cheap pearls ...

Sweden & Norway Royal Tour Day 1: Winter Hat Replikates
Today was the kickoff of the royal tour of Sweden and Norway, and I'm excited to see the Swedish royals (I love Crown Princess Victoria!) and of course, what everyone is wearing. I'm not going to do full recaps of each tour day, because honestly that's not what I set out for this blog to be, and there are plenty of other sources covering this information (check out the very comprehensive posts on What Kate Wore and What Would Kate Do for all the details about today's royal engagements in ...

Meghan Mail: DeMellier London Mini Venice Bag
Let me start this post by saying I'm not really a big designer bag person anymore. When I was in my early to mid twenties, which was also the height of the logo handbag craze, I (like many women my age) had a closet full of C-covered Coach bags and teeny-tiny Burberry pouchettes. I didn't make a lot of money, but I saved up to buy nice bags whenever I could. As the years changed and my priorities changed, I couldn't justify spending hundreds of dollars on a bag when I could buy a plane ... View Post
Sale Alert: My Picks from the Cath Kidston Winter Sale
I'm slightly obsessed with Cath Kidston, which isn't surprising since I'm such an Anglophile. They've got the cutest conversational prints, especially London prints, and even Prince George and Princess Charlotte love their Cath! My son actually has the same backpack as Prince George, which gives me no small amount of glee since I bought his before I knew George had one. The only thing I don't love about Cath Kidston is the U.S. website. The prices are way higher than they should be if you do ... View Post
That Time I Got a London Phone Booth and Ridiculousness Ensued
Is this not the best curio cabinet ever?! During the holiday break we did a bit of reorganizing around the house, and my husband suggested getting a curio cabinet for my office since our china cabinet in the dining room was getting a bit full ... mostly due to my royal family collectibles. (I'm sorry, but how can you NOT purchase a Princess Diana memorial collector plate when at Kensington Palace? It's impossible.) After doing a quick look at Ikea and realizing anything somewhat ...

Meghan Mail: Kamik Sienna Boots & Everlane Day Market Tote
Monday was a magnificent Meghan Markle mail day (try saying that three times fast!) when I received both my Kamik Sienna boots and Everlane bag at the same time. I'm super pleased with both purchases and if you're on the fence about either of them, I really wouldn't hesitate. Kamik Sienna Boots I saw someone post about these boots on Instagram a couple of months ago, and I'd actually never noticed Meghan wearing them until I looked on the company's account. I'd been in the market ... View Post
