It's nice to have some happy news to focus on! Just when you thought Prince George couldn't get any cuter, his Royal parents go ahead and release these adorable pics from their visit to London's Natural History Museum's Sensational Butterflies exhibit, in honor of his big day. Taking his first steps and delicately interacting with butterflies? George is too sweet for words!

Happy July 1st, my darling readers! I always look at this weekend as the official kick-off to summer. The 4th of July weekend happens to be my favorite holiday, too. There's nothing better than leisurely BBQs, sunshine, and enjoying it all with family and friends. Here are a few things I'm excited about this month:
• Picnics in the park, and dining al fresco
• Beach days—and sunscreen
• Sipping rosé
• Fireworks (so pumped that they're moving back to the East River this year!)
• Prince George turning 1!
How about you? What do you love about July?
PS: Another reason to celebrate summer!

Have you been following William and Kate's Royal Tour in Australia over the past two weeks? Such fun! From Kate's clothes to Baby George's sweet smiles (and adorable hair), it was so fun to see daily pics and updates from their trip.
What did you think of the outfits Kate wore? I think my favorite was the bright yellow Roksanda Ilincic dress she was in when she stepped off the plane in Sydney, almost two weeks ago. But she looks stunning always, right?!
What was your favorite moment from their trip?

Did you see the pics from yesterday's Royal Baby Christening? Prince George is seriously adorable. Those cheeks! Even dressed in gold lace, he looks so lovable and cute. :)
Princess Kate! In sequins! Did you see these pics of Kate Middleton at the Tusk Gala last week? I love her Jenny Packham dress. Hard to believe it's only been about eight weeks since she gave birth to Prince George. She looks stunning.
Did you see her in skinny jeans, too?
More Kate here, here, here, and here.

Like the rest of the world, I'm on pins and needles waiting for news of the Royal Baby to hit. It's such an exciting occasion! My mom keeps reminding me of how she spent the whole time she was pregnant with me watching Diana, and waiting to hear news that Prince William was born.
There's something so lovely about the tradition of it all and the fact that Kate and William will introduce their baby standing on the same hospital steps where Charles and Diana did 31 years ago.
Are you eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Royal Baby? What do you think his or her name will be? (Play the guessing game here.)

Have you watched the trailer for the new movie about Princess Di? I have slightly mixed feelings about turning her story into a film, but Naomi Watts is so talented and graceful—she seems to perfectly capture the title role. You can watch the full trailer here (the film isn't due in theaters until September) and check out more images of the striking resemblance here.
Do you think you'll watch this film? I'd love to know what you think!

Can you believe that the Kate Middleton is due to give birth in just about a month? Wow, the days since she first announced her pregnancy have flown by. And news broke this week that Pippa Middleton is in charge of planning a Royal Baby Shower for Kate. What fun!
I'm so enjoying counting down the days until this baby arrives. It makes me want to plan another royal get-together, like this one from two years ago when we celebrated Kate and Wills' wedding day. :)
Are you keeping up with all the Royal baby news?
More Kate here, here, and here.

Such happy news for a Monday: A glimpse at Kate Middleton's first public appearance since her horrible bout with morning sickness earlier this month. And lucky her, it's to do something fun—like present the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year Awards. Kate looked radiant in her green Alexander McQueen gown. So excited for her and Wills and all that is ahead!
A couple of videos from the night here.

Where's a hair elastic when you need one? :) I love these shots of Kate and William taken this week on the balcony of Cambridge Guildhall in Cambridgeshire, England. Even with the wind blowing her hair in her face, Kate still looks absolutely stunning (what a gorgeous Max Mara coat!). Take a peek at the rest of the photos here.
PS—What do you think of Kate's new bangs? So cute!

Now that we're only a few days away from the release of Pippa Middleton's Celebrate, I'd love to know: will you buy this book? I have to admit I'm pretty intrigued—I've checked out her family's company blog Party Times (which Pippa is known to write) on more than one occasion, and I think all the advice there is really good. For more about Pippa's book, read her interview with the Mail on Sunday here.
What's your go-to source for entertaining advice? I'd love to know!

Happy Friday! I am so happy the weekend is here. What do you have planned? For me, it's more Olympics-watching. Don't you just love Kate and Wills' PDA? :) I'm looking forward to catching table tennis on Saturday—and more swimming events, too! Are you following the Olympics? What's been your favorite event so far? No matter what you have planned, I wish you a wonderful and relaxing weekend ahead. Here, to get it started right, a few happy posts from the web:
A fantastic friendship tip.
Annie Hall, then and now.

A toast to the Queen! It looks like it was such a magical weekend celebrating the Diamond Jubilee River Pageant along the Thames. I love the pomp and circumstance of it all, not to mention Kate's gorgeous Alexander McQueen ensemble.
Did you watch? Did you see the hilarious souvenirs? (Here's one that's more tasteful.)

Such grace, and poise! With these pics, I think Kate Middleton has officially set a new standard for how to make the perfect entrance. Stepping out of her town car en route to an Olympic Gala Concert in London, Kate looked stunning in her teal Jenny Packham dress. I love that you can see her sparkly Jimmy Choos from the moment her foot touches the ground. I give her credit — not only is she elegant, she's coordinated, too!

What an entrance Kate Middleton made this weekend at the Sun Military Awards at the Imperial War Museum in London! Her Alexander McQueen dress is stunning, and with both William and Harry by her side, she looks happy and in love. What do you think of Kate's black tie look?
More Kate here, here, here and here.

Happy weekend dear readers! What do you have planned for the next couple of days off? I'm hoping there is no snow this weekend. My parents got 10 inches of snow, while my little sister on the West coast just laughed and laughed. I'm going on a mini-road trip this weekend to see Princess Diana's dresses on display at Foxwoods. I saw a handful of them before when I was a kid, and was mesmerized by the stories behind each one. I have followed the Royal Family ever since! More details about the exhibit next week, but here, to get your weekend started right, a few happy posts from around the web:
A windy day didn't stop Kate Middleton from looking her royal best alongside Prince William today in Anglesey at Trearddur Bay Lifeboat Station. One of their first official appearances as a couple post-engagement, Kate helped William christen a new lifeboat in style. I love her champagne-colored coat by Katherine Hooker and her Vivien Sheriff headpiece. The soon-to-be princess definitely knows how to dress the part!
