It sort of seems like I have been making a lot of excuses lately (not going to lie I feel a little guilty); but I had a nasty cold at the end of March / start of April so I took some time off which meant my blogging sort of got the shaft. Ideally, I wanted to do this at the start of last week but –now this has become a RECAP post instead.

How are you stepping into summer?

After a recent trip to Old Navy, I fell in love with some super cute summer dresses. Here are my top picks for the summer!

Cap-Sleeve Floral-Print Cutout Bow-Detailed Mini Swing Dress for Women in Orange Floral

Flutter-Sleeve Cotton-Poplin Smocked Cut-Out Mini Swing Dress for Women in Navy Floral

Tiered Slub-Knit Midi Cami Swing Dress for Women in Alpine Tundra

Sleeveless Waist-Defined Embroidered Clip-Dot Maxi Dress for Women in Sunflower Gold

Although the Trooping of the Colour is a tiara-less event the pomp and circumstance got me thinking about all things royalty… especially the TIARAS because we see them so seldomly lately.

One of my favourite blogs used to be the Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor; on this blog she would, “honor all things elegant and entertaining in royal fashion.” I loved seeing what the royals wore and the history behind some of the jewelry. It is a blog I really hope becomes active once again. However, she does have another incredible blog: From Her Majesty’s Jewel Vault.
My All-Time Favourites…

1. Midnight Tiara
2. Danish Ruby Parure Tiara
3. Portland Sapphire Tiara
4. Cambridge Lover’s Knot Tiara
5. Queen Alexandra’s Kokoshnik Tiara

6. Queen Mary’s Bandeau Tiara
7. Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara
8. Cameo Tiara
9. Spencer Tiara
10. Strathmore Rose Tiara

What about you? What tiaras do you dream about?
