The Duchess Does Citrus

Looks like Miss Catherine's been at it again. With her hubby off in the Falklands, she's keeping busy by hanging out with the in-laws. Stylishly, bien sur!

What Kate Wore

For a visit to Great Britain's Men's and Women's Olympic Field Hockey Teams, she wore a navy Pucci blazer, official London 2012 scarf, white tee and navy L.K. Bennett 'Art' pumps.

The jeans were a smidgen too tight for my taste- she is a Princess after all...

But, I adored the color. Way to look youthful and trend-appropriate, Kate! "The Today show" called her as-yet-unidentified jeans "tangerine", though I would definitely err on the side of coral or, perhaps, bittersweet.

Vintage Finds

I'm a huge fan of vintage shopping. Thrifting. Whatever you want to call it. When my mom was a teenager, her parents bought a Victorian townhouse and renovated it themselves. They spent a lot of time doing second-hand shopping. To this day, most of our heirloom furniture comes from this period.

So it's business as usual when I come to work sporting my newest find. Take a looksee at the awesome new bag I snagged at Goodwill:

It's 100% leather made in Italy for The Limited. Remember The Limited? Yeah, I got flashbacks of floral dresses with attached chokers, too. But this bag is pretty rad.
