Generation Kate

I am so glad that my generation finally has a beautiful, classy fashion icon.  (sorry Michelle Obama, you just weren't doing it for me)
The Duchess of Cambridge is my generation's Jackie O, our Princess Diana.
On their recent tour of Canada and the US she has blown me away with one amazing dress selection after another. and they say she doesn't use a stylist! good girl!

watch for these nude heels, she's wearing them everywhere!

maybe she went a tad far with the maple leaves on the hat. she isn't Canadian afterall, but I do appreciate a girl who takes note of the holidays!
AND this is a re-hash. she wore this dress for their engagement photos!
that is something even I wouldn't do. re-wearing a dress to a public event. never!
but good for her, an example to us all in this economy. I'm taking note.

The many hats of Princess Catherine

There are hats and then there are fascinators.
and I find fascinators fascinating. [and I'm a huge nerd]
They are basically a large decorative headpiece.  They're also called cocktail hats.

She has also worn a wide array of other types hats too...

which is your favorite??  Mine is the 1st fascinator.  love it!

Royal Twins

I'll admit in the last 24 hours I have gone royal crazy.
I could have cared less last week about any wedding, and now I can't stop googling things about this crazy family and Kate Middleton.
Did you know...
That Prince Williams' last name is Mountbatten-Windsor. yea. I never knew he even had one haha!
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip are cousins. ok like 2nd and 3rd cousins from two different sides of the family.  That's a little too much cross over if you ask me.  Good for William for getting an outsider, freshen up that gene pool!
Price Philip is OLD. he's 90! He's the longest living spouse of a Royal ever. cool huh?
He's Prince Philip and not King Philip because Queen Elizabeth was heir to the throne and husbands do not take on their wives roles as do wives when they marry an heir to the throne (so Kate will be Queen, but if something happens to William she wouldn't take over... the next heir in line would, like their son or daughter)
and there is a lot of pressure on royals to produce an heir.... so William and Kate will probably be having babies soon!  I read that they waited to get married until their late twenties because that is when they felt ready to have children.  Otherwise they would have got married years ago.  Makes some sense.... except that he will someday be the head of the church in England and I don't think that is wise advice to follow bibically..... anyway.

I also have said this before, but I'll say it again:
My husband looks like Prince William!
Not exactly, and much cuter and with more hair :)
What do you think?? Am I & the 4 people who told me so yesterday crazy??
