Pippa Middleton in White

On April 29, 2011, Pippa Middleton showed the world that white isn’t just for brides, it’s for bridesmaids too. Sometime in June 2013, she became Vanity Fair‘s newest Contributing Editor. Kate may be the ultimate royal, but little sister, Pippa, has proven herself to be the ultimate socialite following in the footsteps of Jackie O. as a fashion editor. She’s also a vision in white. But, I tend to love her style no matter what color it is.

That being said, the little white dress as seen on Pippa Middleton in Vanity Fair is a summer staple. It’s perfect for a beachside vacation or a summer brunch in the city. However, just as it isn’t easy to climb the social ladder, pulling off the little white dress can be an equally difficult endeavor. White can be quite the unforgiving shade, so be certain that your little white dress fits you well and that it has a solid lining before buying it. Once you’ve found that beyond compare LWD, be sure to wear undergarments close to the shade of your skin so they don’t show through. To add color, pair it with a brightly colored bag, bright shoes, or a vintage convertible like Pippa did in the magazine. Here are some of my top white haute dress picks for summer 2013:

On the sporty side of fashion, tennis whites are always trendy. Pippa professed her (and Kate’s) love for tennis in Vanity Fair when she told readers about the first time she went to Wimbledon at the age of eight. Though I’ve never excelled at sports, I’ve always loved tennis. Well, mostly I love the clothes. But, I do play on occasion when I can borrow someone else’s tennis racket. Like golf, it’s one of the most fashionable sports. At a match, everyone from the spectators in the audience to the atheletes are decked out in designer fashions. Inspired by Pippa and her stylish tennis ways, there are a few fab tennis items that I plan on adding to my summer wish list:

Reason #1827 Why Kate Middleton Has the Best Life Ever!

Kate-Middleton-Royals-Harry-Potter

Kate Middleton or should I say the Duchess of Cambridge is living every girl’s dream. Her fairy tale life got even more magical on her recent trip to the Harry Potter set in Hertfordshire. The stylish princess, accompanied by Prince William and Prince Harry, showed off her royal baby bump in a Topshop Polka Dot Skater Dress and classic black Ralph Lauren Blazer. But, the wand was her ultimate accessory.

To make this moment even more amazing, Kate toured Diagon Alley and even received a wand lesson in the Gryffindor Common Room. I wonder if Will and Kate got any nursery ideas from their trip into J. K. Rowling’s fantasy world. I’m sensing/hoping for a Harry Potter theme.

Kate Middleton in French Connection

Though I admit that I wasn’t crazy about Kate Middleton’s official portrait (I don’t think it did her justice), that doesn’t make her amazing style any less fabulous.  What makes her style legendary is that it’s simple and attainable even to those of us who aren’t exactly royalty.  So I was super excited when it was confirmed that the Duchess of Cambridge dawned the Sub Silky Tie Top by French Connection for her official royal portrait.  For the everyday girl, this is the perfect top for the office or other business casual occasion.
