Kate is back!

Today marks the return of the future Queen (and King) of England from their honeymoon in the Seychelles. Hopefully today will herald in many photos of the pair, if not on the actual honeymoon, returning from it. I cannot wait to see whether Kate incredibly trim figure was solely for the benefit of THAT dress or whether it will come to represent her transition from commoner to royalty (until she's sprogged up of course). I'm hoping it's here to stay as although I am pea green with envy and, for my own selfish purposes, would love if she packed on a few pounds. I would be lying through my teeth if I suggested that she looked anything other than the best she's ever looked!

In particular I am obsessed with the legs. So lean, so undefined. It is definitely not the work of biking (a favorite of hers in the past), or of running but I would hazard she's been on a strict diet with perhaps some racquet sports and weights added in.



I think the above is one of my favorite. I love the exposed and protruding collarbones, the masses of brunette locks, and the flattering drapery of the dress. The only two things that kill me about this photo are (1) the fact that I opted against purchasing this dress on net a porter.... ERROR (2) the Prada bowling bag that she really must stop toting around everywhere. The shape is very four seasons ago, the colour doesn't match and it's just hideous. Kate, if you're listening- please stop the torture of my eyes, put the bag down and walk away slowly. 



Probably my favorite outfit in the run up to the wedding. Such a lovely and youthful suit. I even don't mind the shoes, an item that many commentators professed nothing but disdain for. I think the chunky heel looks comfortable, it matches well with the general outfit and it shows that she's not conforming. I don't think this is an example of her trying to look overly demure but rather this represents a continued example of the fact that she refuses to pass up comfort for style in her day to day life. I have never seen her in stilettos; rather low chunky heels, boots (even Uggs), flats, court heels and running shoes are her go to footwear.

However, lets not get too caught up on the outfit and forget those legs! Honestly- obsessed. Big girl crush!
