Color Me Styled - Congrats to Wills and Kate

Kate, Wills and Baby George



I know there's been crazy media buzz but I would be remiss for not posting anything. Congratulations to Their Royal Highnesses Cambridge and their newest edition.

Color Me Styled - Royal Bundle Up

I am thrilled that Kate is back on her feet and recovering from her early bout of pregnancy illness. I'm sure the weeks on a private island didn't hurt her recovery but none-the-less she's up and about.

And she's recycling outerwear! It is early enough in her pregnancy to wear non-maternity outfits and she is still doing it right.

The simple A line of this coat with the belted waist complements her perfectly. You can see that she is filling out the middle of the coat more this year than last but she still looks stunning. She's going to be one of those pregnant women who just pops out a tummy and essentially maintains her figure. (Color Me Envious) 

In another couple of months as HRH Bebe grows she'll have to move to maternity wear but it'll be warmer by then so some of her more flowy frocks could still cut it! I'm sure designers are clamoring at the bit to dress her and the royal bump. So far she is kicking previous HRH Mothers in the style category and I highly doubt that she'll disappoint us. 

Color Me Trendy - No Mumu's Please Kate!

So, HRH Kate debuted her new fringe last week and it sparked rumors that she was pregnant. Bangs require dedication to daily styling (never mind that she has a stylist to do it for her) which can now obviously be tied to her new sense of responsibility carrying the next heir to the throne.

Or two... 

Her condition is common for women who are carrying twins. Can you imagine the sibling rivalry?! Slash the stroke of luck for which ever twin comes out first!? 

But now that we've got a Royal Mommy to Be we will be looking even more closely at her style choices for the next 7-8 months. We love that pregnant women these days are embracing their bumps and wearing tighter fitting clothing to show off their lady figures. Will Kate lead the way? Will big name designers start maternity lines in order to outfit her (and all of us down the road)? 

Mrs. Beckham wore a super stylish, but still mumu esque style for the Royal wedding while she was pregnant with Harper.

All we can do is hope that Kate doesn't repeat the with child style of Princess Diana and Fergie!

Color Me Trendy - She Bangs!

Go ahead, sing Ricky Martin for a minute... 

But seriously! Bangs are the one "trend" for hair that seems to make a comeback every other year and every other year I seriously consider them. Until I remember that I never dry my hair. Okay, not never but like it is 1% of the time. However, I can't kick this feeling that I need to change it up.

I first decided that I wanted them when I saw Jennifer Lawerence on the cover of ELLE this month. So sultry!! And they framed her face beautifully.

Here's more of my latest girl crush JL.

Then I wake up this morning to find out that my ultimate girl crush, The Duchess of Cambridge, has gotten bangs too!!

Kate's are much more manageable style. But how many ladies are running to their salons today asking for the new Kate. I could probably handle this style since they are side swept and long enough to still pull back into an up-do if needed.

So is it a sign from the celebrity gods that I need to try bangs?! Maybe I try the Jennifer Lawerence brow length first and as they grow out rock the Kate side swept style.

Whaddya think?

Remind me that I don't dry my hair so my bangs would become this curly, frizzy pouf on my forehead and that Jennifer and Kate both have professional stylists at their disposal!
