... A Kate Obsession!

For the past few days I have spent my time in the studio creating hand-crafted Jubilee themed textiles.

Surrounding myself in all things British and Royal has reignited my huge obsession with Miss Middleton.. or should I say 'The Duchess of Cambridge!' I just LOVE her.. her style.. her confidence.. what she represents. A new generation of Royal who understand what it means to be a young, average Great British woman in today's society. Yes she came from a wealthy middle class family, and probably had a lavish upbringing in a great house. She attended the best schools and is very educated. But whats wrong with that? You can still be, dare I say it 'normal' and have money... and a brain!

However I think out of everything its her style that I most admire..







The stunning Jenny Packham evening gown..
















The gorgeous Purple Issa Canada Day Dress..











... and of course we cannot forget how truly stunning she looked on her wedding day to Prince William!










Stunning 
in lace..
I just think its fabulous that finally the Great British public, and young women everywhere have a Royal figure who they can look up to. Its great to dream of what her life must be like now... after all she was, and still is just a 'normal' girl!

  1. I agree - Kate is just lovely and seems to do everything "right". I also enjoy reading stories about her and watching William and her together - he really looks after her on their walkabouts. Princess Diana would have been so proud to have her as a daughter-in-law. Have followed Diana throughtout as well.
