Friday Featured Art: Duchess of Cambridge Official Portrait

Have you seen the first official portrait of the Duchess of Cambridge?  What do you think of it (the quality of the piece and the expression)?  The portrait is available as a postcard from the National Portrait Gallery.

The Dress

It was a lot of fun to watch the big wedding on Friday. I love that the dress had long sleeves! It was very beautiful. Of course, I also loved the long-sleeved dress that she wore to the engagement announcement. And don't you love the outfit that she wore on their first day as a married couple? {All photos from The Royal Wedding official site.}

Fascinator

Did you know that there's a name for those little feather hat things that Kate Middleton and other Brits wear? They're called fascinators. I think they're kind of fun, but I doubt that the trend will catch on over here. Here's a cute one that I found on Etsy.
