Downton in Vogue

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/8616323/Downton-Abbey-sisters-pose-for-Vogue.html




The girls of Downton Abbey pose for Vogue and the Telegraph has included a nice blurb about their lives pre-Downtown. The show returns to Great Britain this fall but I think the  American audience still has to wait until January to discover what the fates of the three sisters and of Downton will be!

Up to Date with the Duchess

I have been out of commission, studying for two bar exams but have certainly been keeping pace with the Duchess's wardrobe since the wedding. I am making this post brief—a few pictures of her top looks in between the honeymoon and the start of she and Prince William's Canadian tour. Later, I will post the looks from the Canada tour as well as photos from the Monaco royal wedding, particularly those of Charlotte Casiraghi whose contract with Gucci equestrian wear was just renewed and whose flare for classic French style is unparalleled. Of course, we will see some pictures of the bride as well (although, she appears so sad at the prospect of her wedding, it somewhat detracts from the beauty of her Armani wedding gown.
