Cinderella was one of my absolute fave Disney movies as a child. (Aladdin was a close second...I want Jasmine's hair.) I mean honestly who didn't/doesn't wish they could be a real life princess?! Kate Middleton is proof that fairytales do come true...in some alternate universe in which you have gorgeous hair, an incredible sense of style, and attended the most prestigious schools in Europe but thats besides the point. Talk about a Cinderella story.
Kate Middleton is pure class. She is always so put together from her gorg locks down to her trusty LK Bennett pumps. Not going to lie a big part of the reason I watched the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics was to catch a glimpse of the world's favorite royal. I found my self googling "Kate Middleton Olympics style" throughout the summer games just to see what she was wearing. She even chatted it up with the US Women's gymnastics team. I die.
I love how her wardrobe includes high end designers like Alexander McQueen (a fave of the Duchess) to more affordable lines like Zara which makes the most amaze blazers. She recycles her wardrobe and always looks like perfection and everyone loves her for it.
Let's break it down. First off the shoes. Kate Middleton is constantly photographed in her closed toe LK Bennett nude pumps. I'm dying for a pair. A. They seem like great work shoes B. If I have a pair I'll be a little bit more like her right? C. They are reasonably priced. She has also been seen sporting a lovely pair of Jimmy Choos with a couple of her incredible gowns which is shocking because she is hardly ever photographed wearing open toe shoes. And of course there are the Stuart Weitzman wedges she wore throughout the London Olympics.
Second: the bod. The Duchess apparently follows the Dukan diet, does Pilates, and enjoys morning runs with their dog Lupo. I wish I could follow any sort of diet...I'm a major foodie, I do Pilates but obvi I'm either not doing it right or going to the wrong place, and I love to sleep and Lilly is kinda plump so morning runs are out of the question.
Third: the hair. She has got Pantene commercial hair for sure. Kate Middleton is rumored to get blowouts twice a week. No wonder her locks always look like perfection! Thank goodness top knots are in style cause that's my version of good lookin' hair most of the time.
Fourth: the fascinators. Someone please start the wearing a fascinator to weddings trend in the US. How fun would it be to accessorize your outfit with an outlandish Philip Treacy fascinator? So fun. Must have one.
Fifth: the gowns. Kate Middleton has worn some of the most amazing gowns since becoming Mrs. Prince William of Wales. However, the most amazing was her Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen wedding gown. Perfection. Kate Middleton and Prince William got married the day before Lucas and I did so I'll never forget it. Big Martha was mad that I was getting up at 4am for the Royal wedding the day before my wedding but honey badger don't care...no one was stopping me even if it meant I would have bags under my eyes on my wedding day. She looked like a classic and timeless bride just like Grace Kelly. I have to credit the Duchess with making up my mind about one final detail before my wedding...wearing the veil over my face for the walk down the aisle. Everyone really wanted me to do it and I always thought that it was a sweet tradition but I still wasn't sure if I was going to do it. Kate did it, Grace Kelly did it, and so I did it. Loved it. The only thing I would have changed about her wedding "attire" was that awful baby's breath bouquet...I'm just going to chalk that one up to a momentary bridal mental lapses in judgment and let it slide. Now I find myself thinking WWKD? What would Kate do? Be classy. Duh. If only her brother in law Prince Harry would take some of her advice and then he could prob avoid things like nude photos in Vegas.
So basically the Duchess of Cambridge rocks and I want to be her...or more like raid her closet.
Xoxoxo
