King Me!

I apologize to you all for drooling, but I just saw Jamie King wearing this most fascinating, amazing, fabulous, fantastic, freakin amazing gown by VALENTINO.

Oh, Valentino dress, how I want thee so ... let me count the ways! Your sleeves, your drapery, your utter brilliance and complete modesty and sexiness. Ya, that should just about do it.

It is just so perfect, so modest, and so beautiful that I think that it could quite possibly be the most amazing thing since Brtiney's comeback!

Modest Hollywood

Now that I have taken my official hiatus from everything Kate Middleton, I can bring you some seriously needed  Modest Hollywood. I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with the direction that Hollywood ladies are taking fashion! While many of these pieces are not what you or I would necessarily wear (ahem, Selma Blair and Britney Spears), there is no contesting that less is more with these ladies. Except for you Carey Mulligan--I'm not sure what you were going for. But I still really really like you, so I will let this slide. 

Elle Fanning

Reese Witherspoon

Christina Hendricks

Diane Kruger

Ellen Pompeo

Ahhh! My eyes! This is like grandma in the forties. Those shoes are just a tragedy.

January Jones

Britney Spears
I know what you're thinking. Why is she wearing pajamas with platform heels?

Color Me Royal

I know you think my adoration for everything Kate Middleton is slightly much, but how can you not agree that she is is just so perfect! Well, her sense of style is, anyway.

And although she has made navy her signature color, Kate was not afriad to show her colorful side in that purple dress at parliament. Now in Calagary with her her hubby, aka Prince William, the Duchess donned this adorable yet sophisticated yellow number that makes the sunshine--literally!--and this red coat suit that is so jaw-droppingly stunning that it makes you just wanna cover up!

Dear California, prepare to be in for the shock of your life--this is what modesty looks like!  One would be hard-pressed to find modesty in the such a city like L.A., but Kate's brining modesty back! (That was the alternative title to Justin Timberlake's "Im Bringing Sexy Back"--just FYI.)

Adore away!

A Princess in Canada

Yes, it's even more MODEST, gimme-gimme-gimme Fashion from my favorite icon, The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton. I wish I could say I had a a favorite among these stunners, but alas, each one is better than the one before! 

Oh, Kate, how I love thy fashion sense so. Let me count the ways...

Most of all though, thanks for bringing classiness back into the picture for us. You dazzle! 
Three questions I would like answered: 1) How did Canada get so lucky? 2)Why are you not coming to New York? 3) Can I have your hand-me-downs?

Recognize this dress? Might be because she wore it in her engagement photos! And she wears the canadian colors--how sweet.

The gal clearly like blue--but hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!


Talk about royal and regal! And that pin is just so cute (and probably worth more than my life).



Um, hi. Awesome.



Cutest. Dress. Ever. Nautical and summer appropriate! Is it just me or is everything she wears perfection?


I ALWAYS shovel in a a tight, white body hugging sheath. Thanks, KAte, for stealing my thunder...and with such grace...and in heels.
