Remembrance Day Recap 2017

In 2017 Kate attended the annual Festival of Remembrance held at Royal Albert Hall. She only recently started attending and it appears it’s something that will remain in the Cambridge’s Royal Diary for years to come.

Catherine is wearing a bespoke velvet coat by Catherine Walker--the slip underneath is unidentified but most of Kate’s slips under her coat dresses remain unidentified. This coat has some fun and shiny buttons! I’ve read that they’re swarovski crystals--regardless, they’re a fun pop or color and texture on that silky smooth black velvet.

Her sparkly beaded bag is vintage by Magid and I’m getting serious Hermione Granger vibes from it. Photo credit below belongs to Kate Middleton’s Style blog.

Diana’s Collingwood pearl earrings are just barely peeking out from Kate’s gorgeous hair. Kate has been wearing them quite a bit in recent years.

Her brooch is unidentified but it looks to be fabric, like felt, which is such an amazing use of texture on that velvet dress.

I’m not sure on the shoes, they look like they can be Gianvito Rossi but they could also be Emmy London--she tends to favor those two brands for suede heels.

The next morning Kate attended the National Service of Remembrance held annually at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London. This service is held on the 2nd Sunday of November as it falls the closest to the 11th of November. Family members who do not participate in the actual service stand watching on the balconies of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

Catherine wore a double breasted collarless coat by Dolce and Gabbana. I scoured their website to see if anything similar to it was available and I couldn’t find anything worth noting. In the picture above, the 3rd row of buttons from the top look wonky--I thought they were half black or something but they’re just so shiny they’re reflecting the balcony. On the coat Kate is wearing a trio of paper poppies.

The hat is Philip Treacy and we saw it before at the 2012 Remembrance Day Service and even before that in 2006 at Williams Passing out Ceremony from Sandhurst. I talked about it in my 2012 post here. Kate also wore her hair up in a faux bob this year--people either loved it or hated it.

Kate wore her pearl sunburst earrings by Oscar de la Renta. I found a photo of them sold on Poshmark and the seller posted a few really good close up shots if you guys wanna take a peek over here. Otherwise these earrings are no longer available for purchase from Oscar de la Renta.

And that’s a wrap on 2017!

Lucas Barbosa beats Louzado, Humphreys and Schrok to claim light heavyweight belt, other results

The Five Grappling light heavyweight belt finally has a owner. Atos JJ’s Lucas Barbosa powered through a star-studded bracket to claim the title this Saturday, March 11, at the Lincoln High School, in San Diego, California. The sold out event delivered a full day of action-packed matches featuring a wide array of talents, from young blue belts to experienced black bels.

The highlight of the program, as expected, was the 8-men light heavyweight GP. Lucas Barbosa, Nick Schrock, Tanner Rice, Tarsis Humphreys, Leandro Lo, Eliot Kelly, Erza Lenon and Marcel Louzado gifted the crowd with intense moments throughout the program. Here’s how the bracket played out.

Quarterfinals

On one side of the bracket, Nick Schrock opened the program at full speed against Erza Lenon. With Saulo Ribeiro on his corner, Schrock, aka The Moose, quickly found his way to his opponent’s back and took control of the lapels to get a choke in place.

Then, it was time for the other “all-American” quarterfinal match, between Tanner Rice and Eliot Kelly. The Norcal duel did not end in submission, but Tanner managed to convince the three referees that he deserved to be in the semifinals with good attacks from the bottom like an omoplata that got Eliot in trouble to escape.

The “Brazilian” side of the bracket kicked off with the biggest upset of the evening. Tarsis Humphreys kept the pressure on Leandro Lo for the entire six minutes of their match. A near guard pass midway through was probably enough for the three referees to consider Tarsis more effective and grant him the pass to the semifinals.

The last quarterfinal featured Lucas Barbosa and last minute stand in Marcel Louzado. Despite the short notice, Marcel proved to be ready for action. Both athletes chose not to take too many risks and remained on their feet, looking for a chance to take the opponent down. The referee saw it differently and ended up penalizing Louzado twice for lack of combativeness, which led to his disqualification and Barbosa securing a spot in the semifinals.

Nick Schrock knew how dangerous Tanner Rice’s guard could be, so he used all his pressure and also his speed to give Rice no space to attack. Schrock did more than that and also worked hard to pass, which in the end granted him a referee decision win and the spot in the final.

Pressure was also Lucas Barbosa’s main tool to give Tarsis Humphreys no room to move during the second semifinal. Barbosa threatened Humphreys’ guard throughout the match, forcing Tarsis to turn to the turtle position several times. In the end, the referees decided in favor of Barbosa.

Third Place Match

Once again, Tanner Rice made the best out of his well known guard game to catch Tarsis Humphreys in a foot lock that secured him the third place.

Final

As expected, its was an all out war. Both Barbosa and Schrock had no intentions of giving the opponent even one inch of advantage during the match. Powerful takedowns were the greeting cards presented by both athletes. Once on the ground, Barbosa was more successful on staying on top and threatening Schrock’s guard. He passed once, almost took the back and attacked at least one toe hold that caused Nick to spin his way out of the tough spot. In the end, the referees all agreed Lucas had done more during the match and unanimously declared him the winner and light heavyweight champion.

Lucas talked about his accomplishment: “I am extremely happy. I had three tough matches and I was able to come out on top at the end of it all. In the final match, I knew I had to take him down and control on the ground. He is a great opponent and I am glad I was able to make my game work.”

Super matches

Also in the main card, five super matches completed the program with more thrills.

First, Gabi McComb and Catherine Perret battled it out for six minutes. Gabi came out as the winner via referee decision.

Then, Piter Frank beat Michael Liera Jr also via referee decision in another very close match.

Tammi Musumeci left nothing for the referees to decide. She “berimboled” her way to Janet Bishop’s back and finished with a neck crank.

Francisco Iturralde fought his way into Magid Hage’s guard and almost landed in full mount while avoiding the dangerous baseball choke that made Magid famous. Iturralde secured the victory via referee decision.

The final super match of the evening put Bia Mesquita against Talita Alencar. One of the most accomplished Jiu-Jitsu athletes of all times, Bia went for the kill and almost got it with a beautiful leg lock attack. Talita fought bravely as she always does and escaped the tight spot, but could not avoid the defeat via referee decision.
