Baby you\’re a firework
p.s. in case you are unaware I have a blog post up that shows all of Kate\’s outfits from the Royal tour as well as whom they are by! Check it out here.
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.
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.
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?

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.
Nice Stems! A Summer OPI collection
You can imagine my excitement when I found out OPI was releasing a summer collections called Nice Stems that contained four pink polishes.
I Lily Love You is a dainty pink multi colored glitter with gold confetti pieces. To me it seemed like a brighter version of Katy Perry\’s \”Last Friday Night\”. I think it\’s kind of pretty and definitely a dainty shade for a little girl.
Come to Poppy is a pinky coral hue and is my favorite color in the collection. This lacquer is more of a pink than an orange where as the actual flower is more of an orange.
My thoughts on the collection
While this collection is very feminine I felt like it was lacking. When I found out it was going to be based on some of my favorite flowers I was expecting some gorgeous pinks with a great coral/orange thrown in. Instead it was a collection that lacked the wow factor and contained a lot of pearl, glass flecks and glitter. For people who are not polished pink girls this collection may be for you, however I am a pink girl and just felt like the entire collection left me hanging.
What do you think of this collection?
In the summer time when the weather is hot….
I recently participated in an OPI nail polish swap and received OPI Cozu-melted in the Sun absolutely love it!
