Sarah's Revenge

Next time just invite her, ok?

Perfection

A Tad Cynical?

Perhaps, but I'm loving Kate Middleton For The Win and here's why

Happy Royal Wedding!

India, ironic

India Hicks is covering The Wedding for ITV & ABC (dressed in Posh), talking to Barbara & Oprah, and exec producing a show running all week on TLC about her experience as a Royal Bridesmaid in The Other Wedding. Reese Witherspoon went on Ellen DeGeneres and said she was more excited about this wedding than her own. The BBC is believed to have over 1,000 employees focused on its televised coverage.

What about you? Are you loving every minute of Will-Kat mania? Savoring paparazzi shots of the future queen in the Daily Mail, Hello! & People? Or are you going about your business, walking the dog or folding laundry, and thinking honestly, what's all the fuss about?

Kate, Styled By?

According to the Daily Mail, the sister of Samantha Cameron {Sam -- wife of David} is dressing Kate Middleton on her first official visit overseas after the big event. Word on the street has it that Emily Sheffield, deputy editor of British Vogue, has been asked to help Kate select 30 outfits for her 9-day trip to Canada at the end of June. But based on the shift in Kate's look between her first appearance in Anglesey at the end of February and subsequent visits to Belfast & Lancashire, the Sheffield-ing may have already begun.

Hurrah!

Mutton Dressed as Lamb

In the recent past, Carole Middleton (mother of Pippa & Catherine/ Kate) has taken quite a bit of heat in the press for her gum chewing & social climbing. This week, Fleet Street ratcheted it up a notch with these snaps - accompanied by headlines like the Daily Mail's Oh Carole, there's only one winner when you dress like your daughter!

Fingers crossed she loses the motorcycle boots on the big day.

William who?

Love. This. Dress.

Buckingham Palace is asking street-side onlookers to "dress appropriately" -- how would this slate Tibi caftan work with white Chucks?

la dolce vita

To avoid Royal Wedding madness & take full advantage of a fortuitous succession of London bank holidays, I'm escaping to Italy for 2 weeks at the end of April. If you have the time & inclination, please share your best places in Venice, Rome &/or the isle of Capri. Accommodations are settled (Casa Howard, AD Place & Punta Tragara), but I'd love to hear about all of the shops, museums, restaurants, walks, gondoliers, gelato, glass blowers and sandal makers that made your trip fabulous. 

Wills & Kate

Fabulous official photos by Mario Testino in this morning's papers. Really love both, each in their own way. And such a nice way to divert attention from the horrible riots.
