My mom is on a roll with her online discoveries. I’m such a proud daughter. This week she sent me the link to Mark D. Sikes‘ blog, and I got completely sucked in. The blog oozes style and glam with a dose of chic and a splash of history. It’s awesome. Go look. (It’s not all white, but there is a lot of it floating around.)

If you’ve been following any of the “what Kate wore” updates, then you will have heard already about Cornelia James.
This UK glovemaker has been making the Queen’s gloves for decades and has received the Royal Warrant – a recognition of excellence. The Duchess of Cambridge was spotted wearing the bow-tied Imogen style gloves in New York City this week, and just for fun, I thought I’d gather together a collection of their white gloves for a royal blog post. Oh, the fun!

Many thanks to Kathlyn M. for sending this story my way.
Crystals are still having their turn in the spotlight. I doubt they’ll be leaving any time soon.
They’re so beautiful, aren’t they?
