Whether you are out on the town, shopping at the beach or sitting poolside the nautical look can look classy and sophisticated. From the red carpet to a trip to the gym celebrities are everywhere with the nautical look and you can be too. Blue and white is the color that will compliment any skin tone and hair color. Afraid of the stripes? Try an anchor bracelet or necklace.

Let\’s go shopping: 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8

Baby you\’re a firework

The Royal FASHION Tour

Today our two favorite royals hopped on a plane and headed for Canada to begin the Royal Tour. Since Kate is such a style icon and will be wearing upwards of 40 different outfits I figured it was a must to show what she is wearing. If you love the Duchess and her style as much as I do… you\’ll want to save this blog post. As I will be updating it with pictures of the royal couple, and letting you know what Kate is wearing.

{actual signatures}

The Duchess of Cambridge had stated that she did not want to accept free clothing. However rumor has it that she may be borrowing some of the clothes that she will be wearing on the Royal Tour.



 
 {Boarding the plane to Canada}

As the Duchess boarded the plane with Prince William to Canada she was designer decked out. She also channeled her inner Carrie Bradshaw with her Manolo Blahnik stiletto pumps. I am definitely thinking some of these items were borrowed… What do you think? Personally I feel like this outfit is \”too old for her\” what are your thoughts?

Spotted! Some of Kate\’s luggage which features a Cath Kidston bag and what looks like a Longchamp bag maybe?

 The Duchess of Cambridge arrives in Canada wearing an Erdem Moralioglu Cecile Dress.*Note a Montreal designer.

Pretzel Sparklers

While growing up I watched my Mummsie create homemade baked goods for the holidays. For me homemade desserts are always better than those bought at a store. While I may not be at home anymore to share in the treats that my Mum creates I am now on my own –  creating my own \”perfect holiday\”. I absolutely love the salty and sweet mixed taste of baked goods, so it shouldn\’t come as a surprise that one of my favorite desserts is chocolate covered pretzels.  I decided to make some \”pretzel sparklers\” to be placed in a hurricane vase and displayed for the Fourth of July.

Pretzel Sparklers
To make two dozen, place four ounces of chocolate or white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted; remove from the heat. Dip your pretzels in to the chocolate covering 1/2 to 3/4; pour on sprinkles and lay on a waxpaper covered cookie sheet. Place in the refrigerator until firm, about five minutes.
