Evening all! Thanks to Tracy Beaker for the new title!
Roll on some bling and style, though it may be a while!

I love Eugenie's shoes.

Rockstuds I think.

That's fascinating, @Mencia - how wonderful to still have these beautiful, treasured items.
It's funny because I was raised RC, and we used to wear mantillas to Mass. I went to a convent school and we had to have one in our school bags! I had a beautiful black lace one, it draped so beautifully. If course it wasn't anything like the ones in your family, but I did like wearing it!

I find this interesting. I was born in 1970 in Spain, went to a convent school in a medium sized town, knew about veiled ladies pre Second Vatican Council but saw mi first one in London in the early 90s (a mass at the Brompton Oratory in London circa 1992).

I'm a bit older than you, and this was pre Vatican 2. After that, we stopped wearing them at Sunday Mass, but when we had the devotions at school, we still wore them. Although the nuns got rid of the wimple and floor length habits.

Camilla, Sofia and Mary all on engagements today.
It looks like Camilla has found the holy grail of dresses - one with pockets.

That's a very dramatic look on Mary there. She looks like The Widow Donaldson, a woman of mystery who moves to a small town and soon starts plotting to snare the town's richest man.

It’s flag day, apparently, which I think is equivalent to our Remembrance Day.

More photos of Mary.

I like her dramatic pearls, and that is a great hat.

Cobbles and heels!

I like the square neck of the dress and the pearls.
The hat maybe hides her face a bit too much.

Max would borrow that hat

Max would definitely rock that hat - with a monkey nut necklace?
