I would love to see that mink hat on the Duchess of Cambridge, but preferably in fake mink.
The Kensington Palace memorial garden for Princess Diana is absolutely stunning. I love how there are small pockets of color among the beautiful white flowers, which were her favorite. This garden is the perfect memorial for her.
The Countess of Snowdon’s hat is really beautiful, even though I think the flower could be smaller. The waves in the straw are amazing, and the veiling finishes it so well.
One thing is for certain, QM is determined to get her money’s worth out of that beanie. Unfortunately, I don’t think it is particularly flattering on her.
