Royal Style: Quality jewellery, quality clothes and maybe a bit of Quality Street

[Maireas]

New thread for royal style and beauty fans.
Keep up the interesting, witty and wry observations!

You know, I can't actually choose!! Perhaps you experts could dress me for the coronation? I'll be front row... Obvs.

Blimey O'Riley!! Them's some gems!
Thank you, @pussycatinfluffyslippers !

@Maireas you do a fab job with the spreadsheet. @pussycatinfluffyslippers have a look at the Dutch collections. Wowzers!

Does anyone have the Pink Diamond Diadem, and if not, may I?

Obviously, I'll need a more casual one too, for less dressy occasions. Still pondering that.

Unless it’s the fancy Dunnes #notions

Our Dunnes is very dull, we don't have a jazzy designer section.
My hairdresser says I should go to a hat hire lady and try on all the hats, perhaps Kate could be a hat hire lady? The late queen had too much of a hat and coat look, very matched up.

Fergie and the corgis are getting their photo taken and I am here for it. Looking great Duchess.

down the Royal Norwegian rabbit hole today ( how is Martha Louise 51??!) and came across this wedding day pic of MM and HH. They look so similar they could be related.

Fergie looks great there. And the forgoes very cute

@Maireas what tiara do I have? I think it’s a Russian one. I’m watching Royal Mob at the moment, maybe I can spot it!

Ooh I guess I can't post links that bypass paywalls! Anyway, I said there's an interview with Fergie in the Telegraph but you have to be a subscriber or use an archive site to read it. She looks good in the photoshoot but continues to defend Andrew 🙄

Nice piece about gems on here

That's great, @justasking111 - my birthday is this month, and that's my birthstone.
Last birthday my husband bought me Aquamarine earrings (not in the royal league ☺️!)

@Maireas My birthstone too! I've got some pear cut drop earrings that I used to live in before I was treated to some diamond studs.

Shocker.

Sarah is a survivor, not sure about Andrew tbh.

Think I'd have worn the coat open. Leather is so unforgiving

Open is better, not a fan of pleather though

She's certainly enterprising, I'll give her much! Her latest reinvention appears to be as a historical fiction writer.

The kindest thing I can say about that outfit is that it's a good vibrant colour. Flattering it is not. The coat would be ok open and with different trousers, possibly.

That's a beautiful navy portrait of Fergie, not so much the pink

Same. Love the colour on her, she really suits those bright colours. Should have been left open. Trousers, not good. Is it leather or pleather? the latter is far worse in my book although I understand why some wear it...

BTW I've found somewhere to go for those who no longer feel at home here or that their values no longer broadly align with those of the MN brand. Anyone who asked for a PM would you mind awfully to let me know again - don't want to PM anyone who hasn't asked for it. I've started a Royal thread over there, and already seen one of us there...which made me happy and sad at the same time. I'll miss you all and this lovely space/our interesting, funny and wry discussions and commentary. You've all been great to hang out with! 💐

I'm staying on MN for a little longer for various reasons but ultimately I'm going to de-register.

Agree, @paradyning beautiful portrait and the colours are some of my absolute favourites.

(Protocol on that thread is that everyone gets to keep their current collections if they've come from over here. Hope that's okay with you all! I figured it wouldn't matter since it's all -whisper it- make believe anyway! 😊)

I kind of love Fergie. She reminds me of a labrador - I know her hair is a sort of trademark thing but I liked it when it was short too. She quite suited it.
