The story sounds fab! God forbid me, I should be studying but no way. I shall study in peace only if I’ve read your book – my ultimatum to myself – because I really really REALLY want to read it. I loved the Princess Diaries films and I reckon Amy’s story will be a BETTER, CHICK LIT version of Mia’s.. (If Meg Cabot sees this, I love you Meg.)

By the way, if you don’t mind, I’d like to suggest these following colours to my aunt’s wedding theme; soft coral pink, Tiffany blue , Paris green, light gold. Blimey. I would marry the web designer if I could! Once again, splendid website!

There’s a popular blog called “What Kate Wore” that I think is written by an American. It covers all of Kate’s outfits, as well as provides links for purchasing the looks, assuming they’re available or remotely affordable for the rest of us. I enjoy following it, because I think Kate’s choices are generally brilliant, and she’s given millions of women around the world a model of a classy celebrity to look up to and emulate (as opposed to the antics of La Lohan and Snooki… ugh).

However, I also grew up with a mother with a background in costume design, so I had it drilled into me at a young age that most of us need to dress to suit our own particular shapes. Kate’s clothing, as lovely as it is, would make me look silly, since I’m just not slim like that, and never will be. But that doesn’t keep me from enjoying her classic look, and the hair I can definitely do more about. Power to you for going for the LK Bennett nude Sledge heels, though! I’m not sure I can walk a full city blcok in heels that tall (hence, why I really loved that scene in The Finishing Touches where Betsy teaches the students to push the pram in heels. I need that like you wouldn’t believe!).

If you like vintage, then have you read The Little Lady Agency books? Melissa, the heroine, is a real vintage girl, right down to her stockings and corsetry.
