The new season Hermes scarves are starting to trickle into some boutiques - but not to any near me!! My nearest one advised August or September for the new ones - that is a long wait when you can get some online already as well! So far I am most interested in one called L'Ivresse d'Infini by Zoe Pauwels.
I love this purple colourway with its turquoise hem as it looks like it ties really well!! So, I will be trying to find one when I go to Paris next week as well as trying see what designs are on offer in the 70cm vintage size. Seeing as Hermes have very cheekily increased UK prices I hope that it will now be cheaper to buy in Paris. Isn't one price rise a year enough for Hermes? They do annoy me.
Today I was pleased to see the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attending an Armed Forces Day event at Windsor where they presented campaign medals to the Irish Guards. The Duchess wore a suitably military outfit (believed to be Burberry) and I thought she looked great!

She was slo wearing a new gold bracelet with a gold disc engraved with a crown and her initial, "C".
Princess Diana had something similar as I recall.
The Duke and Duchess will be off on their tour of Canada and the USA shortly so it will be interesting to see how that goes. They have released a lovely new portait to commemorate the trip - it was taken in the grounds of Clarence House on Friday 3 June 2011 and I think it is really nice.

Next weekend on Friday and Saturday we see the royal wedding in Monaco of HSH Prince Albert and Charlene Wittstock - she is reported to be wearing an Armani wedding dress and rumour has it that her gift from the Prince will be a new tiara - can't wait to see that!! Luckily we have european satellite TV at home so I should be able to see the wedding on one of the French or German channels as I am sure the UK TV will not show a thing - they never do and we live in Europe! That so annoys me too! I will be buying Paris Match and Point de Vue magazines when I am in Paris as their coverage of such events is always very good - their coverage of the UK royal wedding was great - they always have great photos and I am sure Hello! won't let me down either LOL!

Following the Monagasque royal wedding the Grimaldi Forum's annual summer exhibition is going to be focussed on 20 European Royal Courts - it looks like a must see for me so I will have to get a trip to Nice/Monaco sqeezed in! You can read about the exhibition "Fastes & Grandeur des Cours en Europe" HERE
I will be sure to post after my trips! Hope you are all well and enjoying the summer if you are lucky enough to live somewhere that you get some sun and warmth! It's not too great here at the moment!!
I love the L'Ivresse d'Infini too, and lookforward to seeing you wearing it .
