Royal Style: Make Do and Mend, or Go Big and Spend?.

[Maireas]

New thread!
Thanks for the title, Deftly!

Thanks, @Maireas and @paradyning .
I'm off to Claires tomorrow to see if they have a Christmas tiara for me. I shall carefully check out any rivieres! 😉

Thank you for the new thread!!

Remember: whatever tiaras plus extras that you have laid claim to (barring horses) must be worn over the festive season!

I'm not sure which of the Nobel winners is wearing the black dress and red beads - pictured here at the dinner hosted by the Norwegian RF - but I love her look.

Oleksandra Matviichuk, Ukrainian civil rights lawyer.

Thanks @MarshaMelrose. I love the simplicity of her black dress, and the beads look so striking with it.

Yes love it too. What an amazing ng woman.
Equally love QS' white dress with green necklace

I like that black gown with ruffles and purple clutch.

Totally love the lawyers look - & MM looks fab in that red with her colouring.

The button tiara is a weird one. It’s meant to be worn with a bouffant up-do no? Like Margaret & the Poltimore? I think it would look AMAZING on dark hair with an up-do but on a sleek style it just looks absolutely random. Maybe someone like Cams could pull it off as well. It needs BIG hair.

The Glam Fam aka the Swedes are out in force for the Nobels.
I adore Sofia’s commitment to colour and something a little different but I cant get on board with the balayage of a dress. Love the festive tiara though.
CPV dress a touch Quality Street for my liking but probably beautiful up close.

Is that Sofia in orange? She looks like a creme egg. Lovely tiara, though.

Quality street, creme eggs. You're all yearning for chocolate tonight 😂😂

Charles and Camilla have released their official Christmas card. It's a photo taken in September at the Braemar Games.
Camilla is wearing her moss green coat with tartan reveres, and her lovely Philip Treacy green beret decorated with bright pheasant feathers. She is looking Very County as we would say on these threads!

They seem to be having a jolly time, Anne was also there, but just a few hours later they were to begin a new phase of their lives. So it is quite a poignant choice of photograph I think.

😂😂Never any excuse needed!

Charles and Cams look lovely on their Christnas car.

*Christmas card.
Sorry, fat fingers directly correlated to chocolate intake...

Found you! We'd slipped to page two 😂 Thanks for the new thread.

I bought a lovely tweedy/felt cloche hat at a Christmas market on Saturday. Maybe I shall be very country some day.......

@gingercat02 You need a couple of pheasant feathers 🪶🪶 🪶stitched at a jaunty angle onto your tweed hat, then pin a brooch over to hide the stitches.
Very County!

@gingercat02 The House of Bruar catalogue is the Very County Bible. I like the sound of your hat.

I meant to say how much I love CPV's green dress! I am less keen on Sofia's ombré one. I attach a great close up of CPV's tiara and astounding jewels. That emerald necklace. 😍

Here's the Spanish RF Christmas card. The princesses looking lovely and fresh-faced as usual. I'm wearing a nearly identical jumper to Infanta Sofia today!

Sofia of Spain is very stylish for one so young!

Lillian's tiara is so flattering on CPV. Love the green sparkles too and agree about the ombré dress.
I do like the versatility of Sofia's tiara though. Wonder if she has a little box with all the different jewels in to screw into the tiara.

I've asked before but is anyone listening to the podcast about Juan Carlos and Carina? It's insane levels of corruption!

Adore and want Sofia's jumper!

Thanks, I'd missed this about the podcast. Just looked it up. Is it Corinna and the King? I think I'll take a listen.

It's Zara!
