Brilliant Radiant Cut Diamond Rings That Exude Old World Elegance

If you’re the type of bride who’s looking for diamond rings in Ottawa, Ontario that are elegant, soulful, and unique, radiant diamonds are the ideal choice for you.

These diamonds have been around for years but only recently gained popularity among celebrities and influencers. The better the cut and the more centered the corners are the brighter the shine and fire.

Reasons to choose radiant diamond rings

One of the main reasons why a lot of brides tend to prefer radiant diamonds in Ottawa, Ontario is that these diamonds don’t need additional details to shine. While bold, radiant-cut diamonds offer a sleek and classic shape.

Since these diamonds have defined corners there is less chance of them chipping or breaking with daily wear and tear. Just keep in mind that these diamonds carry a lot of their weight under the stone which can make them appear smaller.

If you want added shine and shimmer, you will need to invest in a larger-carat diamond which can also increase the price of your gemstone. With radiant-cut wedding rings in Ottawa, Ontario,most professionals will tell you to choose an open or six-prong setting.

You can even add smaller yellow or pink diamond side stones for added shine and a vibrant pop of color. A bezel setting can also be a great choice for added protection and safety for your diamond.

Avoid exposing your piece to any harmful chemicals and cleaners as they can corrode the metal band and affect the gemstone.

You can simply invest in a trinket tray or a velvet-lined pouch to store your gemstone in. Make sure you keep your ring in a cool dark place, especially when you head out to clean, garden, exercise, swim, shower, or trek.

While white diamonds are the ideal choice for sapphires, rubies and yellow diamonds also look brilliant when set in a radiantcut. These gemstones ooze sparkle and shine and make your center stone stand out and pop.

In Conclusion

Caring for your diamond ring isan essential part of ring ownership. You can take your ring to a professional to clean, repair and maintain it every couple of months so that it looks new and shiny for years to come.

Your jeweler will clean your piece, buff the metal band, polish the gemstone, and ensure that it’s in good condition for a long time.

Can I request 18 of diamonds with Quinn 🧎‍♀️

And congrats on 1k!! Your blog is one of my faves and I admit I check it after I’m done with work to read whatever you have to say/anything you’ve written/etc. 😁✨❤️

that makes me feel so cool! that you check my blog at the end of the day to see what's up! how cutie!! thank u bae <3

warnings: oral f!receiving

wc: 462

It’s the 14 days of Fuckmas. You and Quinn do this tradition every year. Each day that he is home, from December 1st to Christmas Eve, you have some form of sex. It’s not always the whole shebang, but you do something on each of these days. Quinn has been unable to eat you out since he played Tampa Bay on the 8th, but it’s been two weeks and he just finished playing Ottawa. He had a good game and the stitches have dissolved, finally, and he’s feeling good. His lip doesn’t hurt and the bubble is simply a precaution, but after Christmas, he’ll be back in his regular bucket. 

He came home in a flurry today, dropping his stuff by the door and kicking off his shoes hurriedly. He’d practically tackled you in a hug, then picked you up and brought you to the bedroom. You’d laughed and asked what the hurry was, which is when Quinn revealed that he was finally cleared to eat you out again. His wording was strange, so you’d asked what he meant by ‘cleared,’ which is when he revealed that he had asked the team doctor specifically about when he could perform oral sex on you without affecting his injury. Apparently, it’s today, and you’re only slightly mortified that the Canucks’ doctor knows about your sex life when you don’t even know his name.

But, your concerns had dissolved when Quinn undressed you and made contact with your cunt. 

Now you’re moaning and writhing against the bed and Quinn is curling his fingers inside of you while his lips tug on your clit. 

He’s been whispering sweet nothings to you, pulling you to orgasm and taking time to let you come down. He’ll overstimulate you at times at draw gush after gush of cum from your body. Other times, he’ll pepper kisses along your inner thighs and suck hickies on the soft skin. Quinn is abusing the return of his lips.

When you try to turn the tides back on Quinn, and focus on him after he’s given you a couple of orgasms, he wraps his arms around your thighs and keeps you anchored to the bed. 

“No,” Quinn said. You can’t decide what his voice sounds like– petulant, annoyed, insistent, or frustrated. “I’m making up for the time I lost.”

You melt back into the bed and accept it. “Quinn, won’t you get tired of this after a while?”

“No!” He says again, furrowing his eyebrows and looking up at you, affronted by the insinuation of your statement. “I could do this all day. Definitely all night. And I will!”

He dives back down and fixes his mouth on your cunt, looking up at you through his eyelashes like he has something to prove.

Beloved Nunavut elder Qapik Attagutsiak died at the age of 103 last week. 

Born on June 11, 1920 in Nunavut's Kivalliq region, Attagutsiak was a traditional midwife who worked tirelessly for better healthcare for Inuit. She was also an expert seamstress and a decorated elder, awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.

Her family announced that she died peacefully and surrounded by family in Ottawa on Dec. 14. 

Clare Kines, who has lived in Arctic Bay for the last 24 years — where Attagutsiak spent her later years — remembered her as warm and loving. 

"She was that sort of person. She always struck me as being genuinely happy," Kines said. [...]

Since you are on a roll, could you do the Fallout 4 Yan!Girls reacting to their Darling saying that they need to go hunt down a small raider gang for an Item without them, which they say will only be a few days and then returning months later, bruised and beaten up, saying that they had to that they had to hunt them down all the way to Ottawa, but now got the Item. Sorry if this is too complicated.

》Because I'm American I needed to search up where Ottawa was. I also got really excited to pick the object so I'm patting myself on the back. Thank you anon.

[Cait]

She has enough trust in you to handle yourself. She is worried. As the months go by she has an itch to go get you but you told her not to, you asked her to hold down the fort. So she will protect your domain and wait for you to come home. When you come back she’s there to catch you as you fall. Ordering the patrol to scout the perimeter while taking you into the house. It’s late at night so she attends to your immediate wounds before she can go get Curie. You laugh and say it was worth it. She doesn’t say anything about it until you push a ring into her hand. It’s a small silver band with a little yellow jewel she’s never seen. “This is what you wanted?”

“And it’s yours.” That's when it clicks. She wants to say you didn't have to do this, that she'd rather you be safe than give her something she doesn't deserve. But who was she to question you. You were the one who saved her from the fate of self destruction. Cait will give you everything she has and take everything you give.

She quickly puts it on before giving you the love and care you deserve.

[Curie]

She wanted to join you because it was only a few days but there was a supermutant attack that made her very busy. So she waits and waits and waits. This is where her tendencies become everyone else's problem. She shuts down the clinic until you come back. Because she knows she is the best option for a doctor in the entire Commonwealth. If they want to be treated they will find what she wants. And to her credit they do. They bitch and moan about how they went all the way to Canada and she very quickly tells them to shut up.

"Mon amour, tu es enfin de nouveau dans mes bras.(My love, you are finally in my arms again.)" Endlessly soft while tending to your broken body. When you wake you a more sober state she asks you if you got what you were looking for like you weren't gone for six months. You reach in your bag and pull out a box telling her it's a puzzle. With a few click you turn the black box into a iridescent flower.

"It was a nick-knack from before. And when I found out it survived I wanted to get it for you. It reminded me of you, your emotions. So mixed with color, changing and sharp." The box never leaves the house but she fawns over it constantly. You're happy she's happy. And everyone else is happy she's happy when the clinic opens again.

[Piper]

After a week she goes out looking for you. You were supposed to be back a few days ago and she waited double that time. Being an investigative journalist is her specialty so following your track is not very difficult but you move fast so your trail quickly goes cold. It was like you fell off the face of the earth. She travels from settlement to settlement looking for any hint of you, if someone says anything they're subject to interrogation whether they want to or not.

When she goes back to Diamond city for one of her pit stops you're chatting with Nat. You look beaten but tended to which is a relief. But she is beyond upset. Before she can act on her malevolence you turn to her and practically jump on her, a bit awkward from the pain. "I've missed you so much." With that she is completely melted into her love for you. "Come on, you need to see your gift."

She follows you into the garage to see a crate of things for the printing press. New parts and letter, some oil and ink. All of this makes her dote on you even more.

So I was reading some concert reviews on IORR (I know) about the Ottawa 2005 concert. I'd read that Charlie left the stage during SFTD because of some technical troubles and wanted to know more about it. The reviews mentioned that both he and Keith left and Charlie seemed upset about his headphones. Then somebody mentioned that Charlie came in wrong on Brown Sugar and that Mick walked over and smiled at him and then Charlie got back on track. I think there might have been some technical issues for everyone because they also said guitars were cutting out so I assume Charlie was maybe having a bit of trouble hearing.

Anyway, two of the people who were there mentioned that at the end Keith, Mick, and Ronnie were trying to get Charlie to take a solo bow but he refused. One reviewer said they then "attacked him with kisses." And it made me think of how this was after his cancer and wondering if he could still play and keep up with the band and that they must have realized he felt down after the mistakes (whether or not they were his own or related to technical difficulties) and wanted to make him feel better and show him love. My heart!

Based on this:

Something definitely happened. I would hazard to guess there were issues with the sound engineering that were affecting both the instruments themselves and the monitor set-up (what the musicians are hearing in their headphones/ear buds).

What I hate about this, and what is so typical of IORR, is that all of these dipshits come out and act like they’re musicology professors at Yale when the extent of their musical training or ability is the 3 weeks they played guitar in college to try to pull girls.

Like the genius who wanted to inform us that the “click track on the drum machine must have failed” and that’s why Charlie didn’t enter right on “Brown Sugar”:

I have no clue what he means by drum machine, because the only time the Stones utilize drumming that isn’t Charlie himself playing in a live context are the pre-recorded bits of atypical drums for a few songs, like “Sympathy.” They never used any kind of drum machine before Hackney Diamonds. And they’ve very famously never used click tracks, which are a tool for drummers, not a component of a drum machine. Keith and Mick have both mentioned it multiple times, the only instance click tracks were used was one singular day in 1989:

Which all culminates in this pièce de résistance from the same reviewer:

Because somehow, while Keith’s fuck-ups are a charming example of how ‘raw and real’ he is and Mick’s are excusable, it’s all Charlie’s fault that the sound engineering equipment failed on him and the rest of the band.

That said, I absolutely love the descriptions of what happened after. How they tried to get him to take his own bow:

And, when he wouldn’t do that, the way they responded:

2nd part of the backstory...

Ottawa was an entirely different beast.

That argument could be made for any Canadian city for an inexperienced kid from the U.S., but it wasn't just the city nor the country. The atmosphere of the team itself was different...and he liked it. Detroit felt like work, because of their history, which led to pressure and expectations. The Senators didn't, despite being a Canadian team and that carrying it's own set of expectations. He knew the team was rebuilding, which he figured was the reason he was brought in in the first place, but they didn't take themselves seriously all the time, which he found refreshing. Practice and skate sessions seemed a pleasant mixture of work and fun, and he was welcomed almost immediately rather than having the "awkward new kid" experience he expected. The coaches and players were excited to have him, he was excited to be given a legitimate shot at the NHL, and he was excited to see what the upcoming season would bring. On the other hand, he did feel like he was having to play catch-up, not because he wasn't a good player, but because he did not have the shared experiences the others had: national development teams, AHL experience including playoffs (he had a total of eight games with the Manitoba Moose in two seasons), and especially being drafted.

He finished pre-season with four goals and two assists, even getting a few fights under his belt. This seemed to garner approval from the team's captain, Brady Tkachuk, who banged his stick on the boards the loudest.

When head coach Jaques Martin called him into the office, he couldn't help but have that pang of dread, fearing a repeat of what has happened with the Red Wings. He took a seat, bracing himself for the worst, but hoping for the best.

"Needless to say, I've been very impressed with you, Devin. We don't usually see this level of play from undrafted talent, let alone with limited playing experience. There as no time with the US National Development Team listed in your file, nor any notable junior hockey experience. How'd you get to this point?"

"No, there wouldn't be, I reckon, but uh, I didn't start hockey until I was about 9 or 10. I feel in love with it after going to my local team's games. My junior experience was spent with the Hampton Roads Whalers, in the Chesapeake Bay Hockey League. Never did get up to the elite level, but after going undrafted, the Norfolk Admirals picked me up."

"Well it seems we've found a diamond in the rough, so to speak." Coach Martin cleared his throat and leaned forward, forearms resting on the desk, his fingers laced together. "I'm sure you'd agree your game needs work, but I don't see anything that warrants any sort of extended stint in a lower league. I'm willing to take the gamble and put you on the third line. You'll be on the wing until your face-off wins improve."

His eyes lit up, and he had to remind himself to be professional. "Thanks coach, that's greats news. I wholeheartedly appreciate the opportunity."

Afterwards, he met with the Senators' equipment manager to get his gear in order, mostly for a number change and to get his specifications on file. He put got a new helmet, but refrained from getting new skates or a new type of stick. A few days later, it was contract signing day. The Senators saw fit to offer him three years for $0.850 million, an offer that, per his agent, was unusual for an undrafted rookie. He had the biggest smile on his face for the photos. Finally, there was quick media availability.

"Devin, you went from being undrafted, through pre-season, and now making your NHL debut. What do you expect for this game?"

"I think it's gonna be a challenge, for sure, but I'm also just trying to enjoy it."

"For those who haven't followed your career, how would you describe yourself as a player?"

"Ha, well, as my fans in Norfolk will tell you, the hardware comes second to me. I'm looking to help the team win and play the game I love."

A Diamond Fell Off Your Ring? Here's What You Do Next

You love your new diamond rings in Ottawa Ontario and the way they sparkle and shine. While engagement rings are crafted for durability and wear and tear, daily use can cause the stone to loosen in its setting and fall out. If you do lose your stone, it can be horrifying. However, this can happen to anyone. There are a couple of reasons why your stone could fall out, the main one being wear and tear. If your stone does get lost, here are some next steps to take.

“MAN AND WOMAN WORK NEW GAME,” Hamilton Spectator. March 30, 1931. Page 7. ---- Steal Radio Sets From Hamilton Firms --- Have Them Delivered, Then They Disappear ---- Several radio dealers who were victimized by a man named G. Roebuck of small but valuable radio sets by the simple method of having the set delivered to a King street east apartment this morning claimed that they had been successful in having a warrant issued for his arrest. Five sets in all have been stolen, it is alleged by this man, who would order the sets to be sent to a certain address and then disappear with the machines in his possession. 

During the past week three victims reported losses of sets valued up to $100 These were the Easy Home Appliances, the Radio Shop and A. Carey & Son. Over the week-end it was learned that the same man victimized Hurst's music store. Ottawa street north, and the Culley Electric company. 

Two in Game A private investigation to-day revealed that Roebuck, a man about 28 years of age, worked this racket with the help of a young woman, aged about 23, and a young man about 18 years of age. The trio rented an apartment at the corner of King and Tisdale streets, opened an account in Roebuck's name for $2 in a branch of the Bank of Toronto. Each time they worked the game on the radio dealers they would pay down $5 in cash and give a cheque for the balance. Each time the cheque was returned N.S.F. The same three, it is claim- ed, operated the racket with success in two other King street east stores, a clothier and a jeweler, the last mentioned losing a diamond ring valued at $125 in the transaction. 

The trio moved silently out of the apartment at midnight Friday and made their escape with the five midget sets, all of which could easily be moved in a sedan.

It is thought that it was the same three who worked the stunt with success in St. Catharines earlier in the week and in Toronto about two weeks ago.

Hello, and welcome to a post with a poll on the Princess’s Wimbledon style and a look at designs she has worn in purple. After seeing the Princess in a purple dress at Wimbledon, many of us tried to recall other instances where she has worn that color. I thought it would be an excellent exercise to see just how frequently or rarely the Princess has chosen purple designs. It turns out she has not selected this color as often as I thought she had. We begin with the Issa dress worn in Canada in July 2011.  The occasion was a concert on Ottawa’s Parliament Hill to celebrate Canada Day. The Duchess of Cambridge’s dress featured a deep vee-neck, horizontal and vertical gathers at the front, a fitted waist, long sleeves, and a concealed back zipper. She accessorized with her bespoke Anya Hindmarch ‘Maud’ clutch (£485) in black silk and her black Prada pumps. The Duchess wore deco-style diamond earrings and a matching bracelet believed to be a wedding gift from then-Prince Charles. She also wore the late Queen’s diamond Maple Leaf brooch. In April 2016, the Duchess of Cambridge wore a purple half-Kira when receiving a ceremonial welcome in Bhutan. A woman’s Kira (also spelled Kera) is an ankle-length dress that is a traditional Bhutanese look. The Duchess and Queen Jetsun Pema. Her wool cape was by Paul and Joe. The Duchess did not wear a full Kira or dress but a skirt. The purple and teal fabric for the piece was sourced and woven in Bhutan by noted artisan Kelzang Wangmo. She wore LK Bennett’s ‘Floret’ heels ($375) with Lavender Amethyst & Diamond Earrings (£4900) by Kiki McDonough.   In February 2017, the Duchess debuted a suit by Oscar de la Renta when attending a health writer’s conference with Prince William. The skirt suit was from the label’s Fall 2015 collection. Made in stretch wool boucle, the tailored jacket had a fitted bodice with a pleated, flared hem. The full skirt was constructed of the same material; it featured box pleats and a hidden back zipper. The Duchess accessorized with her Mulberry Bayswater Wallet Clutch, Gianvito 105 Black Suede Pumps ($795), and her Mappin & Webb Empress earrings. The Duchess repeated the look in January 2019 for an engagement at the Royal Opera House. On that occasion, she wore black patent Rupert Sanderson pumps, carried her black Aspinal Midi Mayfair bag ($865), and had on her Asprey Woodland Oak Leaf earrings ($12500). The Duchess wore the suit for the third time when formally opening the EACH (East Anglia’s Childen’s Hospices) Nook Hospice. The Duchess wore her Gianvito Rossi Piper Suede Pumps ($795) and Catherine Zoraida ‘Fern hoop’ earrings ($181). She also carried a clutch from the Aspinal/Beulah London handbag collaboration; a portion of the profits were donated to the UN’s Blue Heart Campaign Against Human Trafficking. Below, a look at the three different engagements. Initially, I wasn’t planning to include this in the post because the color looks more magenta than purple, but in certain light (particularly the January 2019 engagement), the color seemed close enough for inclusion. The brand’s name for the color was “ultraviolet.” In March 2019, the Duchess wore a Gucci blouse in a color called ‘pale violet orchid.’  The engagement was at a children’s center. The  Gucci Silk Crepe Pussy Bow Blouse blouse was 100% silk satin georgette. It featured a loose silhouette, covered buttons on the back, a high collar with bow, and a straight hem. The Duchess wore her blouse with the buttons to the front (“backward” per product descriptions). We saw another shade of purple in September 2021 when the Duke and Duchess were in Northern Ireland. The separates were by Emilia Wickstead. The double-breasted Dida Jacket and slim-cut Gus Trousers were created in a custom color for the Duchess. The Duchess repeated the styles in November of last year for an early childhood symposium. In 2021, the Duchess wore her Emmy London Josie Block Heel Pumps ($595) in navy and carried a navy Jaeger handbag. In 2023, she wore her navy suede Gianvito 105 pumps ($795) in navy suede.  The Princess wore a close-to-purple design, believed to be by Emilia Wickstead, during welcoming ceremonies for the South Africa State Visit in November 2022. The midi-length design featured a fitted bodice, peaked lapels, an applied waistband, and a pleated skirt. The Princess wore Queen Alexandra’s Three Feathers Brooch for the first time and the Collingwood Pearl Drop earrings. Her hat appeared to be a Sean Barrett design. Her other accessories were all in the burgundy family: her Gianvito 105 Pumps in Bordeaux suede, Mulberry Bayswater clutch, and UFO gloves. The Princess has worn lilac and lavender designs, including the Alexander McQueen gown worn in Los Angeles in 2011 and again in 2021 at the Earthshot Awards. There is also the Emilia Wickstead dress worn in Germany in 2017. and then again for a 2018 mental health summit. But they are not purple. This brings us to the Princess’s Wimbledon appearance in a purple Safiyaa dress.  The Safiyaa Cecilia Dress name for this dress color is “lilac.” The A-line midi dress has structured sleeves, an applied waistband, and gathers across the bodice. As you can see, purple has not played a significant role in the Princess’s wardrobe.  UPDATE 7:30 PM JULY 26: Here are three additional dresses I did not include in the post because I did not think they fit the “purple” description. In a comment, Cam asked about the LK Bennett Dee Crepe Shift Dress worn to an Early Years function in June 2021. In the center, the LK Bennett Madison seen in June 2022 for engagements in Cambridgeshire. On the right, the Marie-Louise Midi Dress by Faithfull the Brand worn when the Duchess helped plant the garden at The Nook Hospice. It is great to have your input in the comments and via email because you never know what I’ll forget and leave out! The designs shown above weren’t included because they were not strong purple pieces, much like the Alexander McQueen gown and Emilia Wickstead dress shown just above the Wimbledon Safiyaa dress.  One dress I should have included that is definitely in the purple family: the Prabal Gurung worn in Singapore on the first leg of the 2012 Jubilee Tour. Thank you to Janet on Facebook for her comment mentioning this one. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ And now for our poll on the Princess’s Wimbledon outfits. Because we’re looking at a total of 25 ensembles, I have divided the poll into three sections. The first is on repeated styles, and the second and third are on new designs. Next week, we’ll take the top two from each category and do one final vote.  We’ll begin with Wimbledon ensembles that were repeated looks. From left to right, you see the Alexander McQueen sailor-style knit dress, the Joseph Vanessa Dress and Nessie Tweed Jacket, the cream Zimmermann Roamer Day Dress, the Jonathan Saunders Evelyn Dress, the yellow and white custom version of Roksanda Ilincic’s Ryedale Dress, the green Dolce and Gabbana dress, the polka dot Alessandra Rich skirt paired with the oft-worn One-Button Blazer by Smythe, the azure blue Alessandra Rich Pleated Embellished Silk Crepe de Chine dress (initially worn in early June), and the yellow Roksanda Ilincic customized Brigitte Dress. Here is the poll. And now for our first batch of new looks worn to Wimbledon. From left to right, the white Temperley London Moraiah Dress, the red LK Bennett Cayla dress, the Alexander McQueen Obsessions Print dress, the Dolce & Gabbana black and white polka dot dress, Catherine Walker’s Wildflowers Print dress, the Jenny Packham ivory Tennis Ball dress, the yellow Dolce and Gabbana dress, and Suzannah London’s white Flippy Wiggle Dress.  And now, the poll. And now, our final group of dresses. On the left, the Emilia Wickstead light blue dress, the green Emilia Wickstead Denver Dress, Beulah London’s Ahana Dress in blush, Alessandra Rich navy and white polka dot dress, Balmain’s minty green Two-Tone Crepe Blazer and UFO pleated skirt, the Self-Portrait Boucle Collared Chiffon Midi Dress in lime, Roland Mouret’s green Ruffle-Detail Asymmetrical Midi Dress, and the Safiyaa lilac Cecilia Dress.   And here is the poll.   (function(d, s, id) var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.0"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); (document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); Source link

A woman’s Kira (also spelled Kera) is an ankle-length dress that is a traditional Bhutanese look. The Duchess and Queen Jetsun Pema. Her wool cape was by Paul and Joe. The Duchess did not wear a full Kira or dress but a skirt. The purple and teal fabric for the piece was sourced and woven in Bhutan by noted artisan Kelzang Wangmo. She wore LK Bennett’s ‘Floret’ heels ($375) with Lavender Amethyst & Diamond Earrings (£4900) by Kiki McDonough.   In February 2017, the Duchess debuted a suit by Oscar de la Renta when attending a health writer’s conference with Prince William. The skirt suit was from the label’s Fall 2015 collection. Made in stretch wool boucle, the tailored jacket had a fitted bodice with a pleated, flared hem. The full skirt was constructed of the same material; it featured box pleats and a hidden back zipper. The Duchess accessorized with her Mulberry Bayswater Wallet Clutch, Gianvito 105 Black Suede Pumps ($795), and her Mappin & Webb Empress earrings. The Duchess repeated the look in January 2019 for an engagement at the Royal Opera House. On that occasion, she wore black patent Rupert Sanderson pumps, carried her black Aspinal Midi Mayfair bag ($865), and had on her Asprey Woodland Oak Leaf earrings ($12500). The Duchess wore the suit for the third time when formally opening the EACH (East Anglia’s Childen’s Hospices) Nook Hospice. The Duchess wore her Gianvito Rossi Piper Suede Pumps ($795) and Catherine Zoraida ‘Fern hoop’ earrings ($181). She also carried a clutch from the Aspinal/Beulah London handbag collaboration; a portion of the profits were donated to the UN’s Blue Heart Campaign Against Human Trafficking. Below, a look at the three different engagements. Initially, I wasn’t planning to include this in the post because the color looks more magenta than purple, but in certain light (particularly the January 2019 engagement), the color seemed close enough for inclusion. The brand’s name for the color was “ultraviolet.” In March 2019, the Duchess wore a Gucci blouse in a color called ‘pale violet orchid.’  The engagement was at a children’s center. The  Gucci Silk Crepe Pussy Bow Blouse blouse was 100% silk satin georgette. It featured a loose silhouette, covered buttons on the back, a high collar with bow, and a straight hem. The Duchess wore her blouse with the buttons to the front (“backward” per product descriptions). We saw another shade of purple in September 2021 when the Duke and Duchess were in Northern Ireland. The separates were by Emilia Wickstead. The double-breasted Dida Jacket and slim-cut Gus Trousers were created in a custom color for the Duchess. The Duchess repeated the styles in November of last year for an early childhood symposium. In 2021, the Duchess wore her Emmy London Josie Block Heel Pumps ($595) in navy and carried a navy Jaeger handbag. In 2023, she wore her navy suede Gianvito 105 pumps ($795) in navy suede.  The Princess wore a close-to-purple design, believed to be by Emilia Wickstead, during welcoming ceremonies for the South Africa State Visit in November 2022. The midi-length design featured a fitted bodice, peaked lapels, an applied waistband, and a pleated skirt. The Princess wore Queen Alexandra’s Three Feathers Brooch for the first time and the Collingwood Pearl Drop earrings. Her hat appeared to be a Sean Barrett design. Her other accessories were all in the burgundy family: her Gianvito 105 Pumps in Bordeaux suede, Mulberry Bayswater clutch, and UFO gloves. The Princess has worn lilac and lavender designs, including the Alexander McQueen gown worn in Los Angeles in 2011 and again in 2021 at the Earthshot Awards. There is also the Emilia Wickstead dress worn in Germany in 2017. and then again for a 2018 mental health summit. But they are not purple. This brings us to the Princess’s Wimbledon appearance in a purple Safiyaa dress.  The Safiyaa Cecilia Dress name for this dress color is “lilac.” The A-line midi dress has structured sleeves, an applied waistband, and gathers across the bodice. As you can see, purple has not played a significant role in the Princess’s wardrobe.  UPDATE 7:30 PM JULY 26: Here are three additional dresses I did not include in the post because I did not think they fit the “purple” description. In a comment, Cam asked about the LK Bennett Dee Crepe Shift Dress worn to an Early Years function in June 2021. In the center, the LK Bennett Madison seen in June 2022 for engagements in Cambridgeshire. On the right, the Marie-Louise Midi Dress by Faithfull the Brand worn when the Duchess helped plant the garden at The Nook Hospice. It is great to have your input in the comments and via email because you never know what I’ll forget and leave out! The designs shown above weren’t included because they were not strong purple pieces, much like the Alexander McQueen gown and Emilia Wickstead dress shown just above the Wimbledon Safiyaa dress.  One dress I should have included that is definitely in the purple family: the Prabal Gurung worn in Singapore on the first leg of the 2012 Jubilee Tour. Thank you to Janet on Facebook for her comment mentioning this one. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ And now for our poll on the Princess’s Wimbledon outfits. Because we’re looking at a total of 25 ensembles, I have divided the poll into three sections. The first is on repeated styles, and the second and third are on new designs. Next week, we’ll take the top two from each category and do one final vote.  We’ll begin with Wimbledon ensembles that were repeated looks. From left to right, you see the Alexander McQueen sailor-style knit dress, the Joseph Vanessa Dress and Nessie Tweed Jacket, the cream Zimmermann Roamer Day Dress, the Jonathan Saunders Evelyn Dress, the yellow and white custom version of Roksanda Ilincic’s Ryedale Dress, the green Dolce and Gabbana dress, the polka dot Alessandra Rich skirt paired with the oft-worn One-Button Blazer by Smythe, the azure blue Alessandra Rich Pleated Embellished Silk Crepe de Chine dress (initially worn in early June), and the yellow Roksanda Ilincic customized Brigitte Dress. Here is the poll. And now for our first batch of new looks worn to Wimbledon. From left to right, the white Temperley London Moraiah Dress, the red LK Bennett Cayla dress, the Alexander McQueen Obsessions Print dress, the Dolce & Gabbana black and white polka dot dress, Catherine Walker’s Wildflowers Print dress, the Jenny Packham ivory Tennis Ball dress, the yellow Dolce and Gabbana dress, and Suzannah London’s white Flippy Wiggle Dress.  And now, the poll. And now, our final group of dresses. On the left, the Emilia Wickstead light blue dress, the green Emilia Wickstead Denver Dress, Beulah London’s Ahana Dress in blush, Alessandra Rich navy and white polka dot dress, Balmain’s minty green Two-Tone Crepe Blazer and UFO pleated skirt, the Self-Portrait Boucle Collared Chiffon Midi Dress in lime, Roland Mouret’s green Ruffle-Detail Asymmetrical Midi Dress, and the Safiyaa lilac Cecilia Dress.   And here is the poll.   (function(d, s, id) var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.0"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); (document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); Source link

Hello, and welcome to a post with a poll on the Princess’s Wimbledon style and a look at designs she has worn in purple. After seeing the Princess in a purple dress at Wimbledon, many of us tried to recall other instances where she has worn that color. I thought it would be an excellent exercise to see just how frequently or rarely the Princess has chosen purple designs. It turns out she has not selected this color as often as I thought she had. We begin with the Issa dress worn in Canada in July 2011.  The occasion was a concert on Ottawa’s Parliament Hill to celebrate Canada Day. The Duchess of Cambridge’s dress featured a deep vee-neck, horizontal and vertical gathers at the front, a fitted waist, long sleeves, and a concealed back zipper. She accessorized with her bespoke Anya Hindmarch ‘Maud’ clutch (£485) in black silk and her black Prada pumps. The Duchess wore deco-style diamond earrings and a matching bracelet believed to be a wedding gift from then-Prince Charles. She also wore the late Queen’s diamond Maple Leaf brooch. In April 2016, the Duchess of Cambridge wore a purple half-Kira when receiving a ceremonial welcome in Bhutan. A woman’s Kira (also spelled Kera) is an ankle-length dress that is a traditional Bhutanese look. The Duchess and Queen Jetsun Pema. Her wool cape was by Paul and Joe.
