Royal Style mavens, join us!

assumed a Bolly token was a bit like the Shell garage tokens from the 80s - instead of buying fuel and getting a soup mug or a plastic Smurf you drink champagne and get a gorgeous Van Cleef and Arpels bracelet?

An explanation as to what a bolly token actually is!

It's a form of alternative currency for streaming Bollywood content on platforms. I'm sure Camilla and Fergie are all in!

I'm not sure but it seems likely.

I saw some dupes of them in a local boutique. And I think even M&S had some 🤔

There are some second hand on EBay. Sadly, the sellers know what they are worth!

Dare I google?

It's so lovely to see people dressed up, isn't it? Big hats, gorgeous dresses, lovely accessories. It's getting so rare nowadays.

I was hoping for something much racier than that! But I’ve been on here long enough to remember dragonbutter….

I really don't want to know what that refers to do I?

No. 😁

<never googled it>

No you don’t! It was from a time when Mumsnet was a scary, feral place- it were all fields round ‘ere….

🤣

I’ll have a go at posting pics.

Lady in white is Peter Phillips’ girlfriend.
I don’t like Zara’s outfut. Too trussed up as often with Zara at formal events.
Here’s Camilla’s daughter Laura.

Oh dear Beatrice doesn't look her best. She has been wearing some beautiful things recently but I don't like this at all.

Those van cleef bracelet designs have spawned many copies in the last couple of seasons.

She's got a thing about having good legs which she did once but now I think put some stockings on or leg makeup Sarah sigh....

I love it when we get a clutch of them.

Zara and her brother’s new gf look fab. Smart yet fashionable and youthful. Kate could learn from them.

Beatrice and Fergie look frightful as always, which I always enjoy.

Anne looks exactly the same as always.

Camilla looks amazing. She’s really nailing it these days.

Oiy I've got the Cartier bangle copy worn it for two years still looking like new. My friend has the genuine one. It's terribly scratched and marked now. Glad I went for the copy 😉

Beatrice has done so well so many times in the past several years but once in a while she still picks something that's a big miss.

@justasking111 I've heard some pretty bad stories about the quality of the official bracelets. I think it's really entry level luxe now and they're making it as cheaply as possible. I wouldn't buy the real thing now!

(Van Cleef and Arpels that is. Don't know about the Cartier!)

As usual, the Queen wins!

That brooch! 🥰🥰

A few pictures from the European Royals. I like Max’s dress. Also like Leti’s trouser and top, not sure about the shoes, can’t decide if I like them or not. Charlene looks good.
