Pippa Middleton is the younger sister of Kate Middleton, the finace of Prince William. Her real name is Philippa but people gave her the nickname "Pippa" for short and it stuck. Pippa is a a graduate of the University of Edinburgh, and has always been into fashion and women's lifestyle interests. Pippa is very much a socialite in the modern sense but the young lady seems to have avoided most of the less than fortunate trappings of the title. The family business was started in 1987. It's called Party Pieces, a mail order firm that sells party supplies, decorations and other party essentials. And it's quite successful. 

The Marraige of William and Kate has now thrust Kate's younger sister into the limelight. Pip, whose full name is Philippa Charlotte Middleton, was born in 1983 was also educated at St Andrew's School, Pangbourne, and then Marlborough College, a co-educational independent school in Wiltshire.After that she also went north, but not to the University of St Andrews but to Edinburgh University, where she shared a house with Lord Edward Innes-Ker, a son of the Duke of Roxburghe, and with George, Earl Percy, son and heir of the Duke of Northumberland. 


In 2007 she ended a three-year relationship with Jonathan Jardine Paterson, of the Hong Kong banking family, whom she had first dated at Edinburgh, and after that her name was linked with the man about town Billy More Nisbett. She also enjoyed a close friendship with Lord Percy.

In 2008, Middleton took a job with Table Talk, a company based in London which organizes events and parties. In September 2009, it was reported that she had been 'snapped up' by Alexander Spencer Churchill, of the investment managers Spencer-Churchill Miller, after he ended a relationship with Lady Louisa Compton, the youngest child of the Marquess of Northampton.Following the official announcement of her sister's engagement to Prince William on 23 November 2010, the Daily Mail commented 'Ironically, family friends of the Middletons say that everyone always thought that the sparkly Pippa rather than the quieter and less glossy Kate would be the one most likely to make a spectacular marriage'.


She is an established figure on the social circuit, one of the so ­called 'turbo toffs' - expensively ­educated, impeccably groomed, well­ connected types who are seen quaffing champagne cocktails in the coolest clubs from Kensington to Cannes.

Royal Wedding Jewelry: Catherine Wears Cartier & Robinson Pelham


The royal wedding jewelry shining from Kate Middleton (now Her Royal Highness Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge) was an understated display of elegance, grace and delicate diamonds.

The Tiara:


The subject of MUCH speculation, Kate 'borrowed' the Halo Tiara from The Queen's coffers, which was made by Cartier in 1936. The Queen's father, then the Duke of York, bought the bauble for the Queen Mother, then the Duchess of York (still with me?), who then gave it to her daughter - then Princess Elizabeth - on her 18th birthday.


Set in platinum, the priceless jewel is made from old and baguette-cut diamonds, with the upper part forming a range of lotus flowers and the lower 'zig-zag' part forming a removable piece that can be used as a bandeau.

No word yet on whether or not Catherine gets to keep it for her own collection - or if it's just a loaner. Stay tuned!

The Earrings:



Kate's understated earrings by Robinson Pelham were a gift from her parents - and were specifically designed to match her tiara. Nice touch.

According to Today Show blogger, The Windsor Knot, the earrings are diamond-set stylised oak leaves with a pear-shaped diamond drop and a pavé-set diamond acorn suspended in the centre.


Inspiration for the design comes from the Middleton family's new coat of arms, which includes acorns and oak leaves. Cool.


The Ring:


Kate's wedding band, which ALMOST didn't make it on her ring finger (nice work, Wills) is a rare band of Welsh gold by Wartski, who also crafted the Welsh gold wedding bands for Prince Charles and Camilla.

Prince William famously declined to wear a ring because he 'doesn't have a taste for jewelry'. It's a happy day. I'll leave this as a rare "No comment".

Overall, we witnessed a delicate diamond display that's in keeping with Kate's understated jewelry style. We'll see how long that lasts now that she has access to The Queen's stash!

Royal Wedding Fashion: Kate Wears McQueen!

I'm over the moon. As I had hoped, Kate or CATHERINE Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, I should say, wore a dress by Sarah Burton, creative director of Alexander McQueen! From Lady Gaga to the future Queen of England, it doesn't get any better for this designer.

"Miss Middleton wished for her dress to combine tradition and modernity with the artistic vision that characterises Alexander McQueen’s work," Clarence House officials released in a statement.

The design includes hand-cut lace flowers hand-engineered onto ivory silk tulle that incorporates rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock silhouettes. French Chanitlly lace and English Cluny lace were used in the Irish Carrickmacross needleword tradition, according to the release.

Catherine also wore an ivory silk tulle veil held in place by the Cartier ‘halo’ tiara, lent to Miss Middleton by The Queen. (more on the tiara soon).

She's Audrey Hepburn meets Princess Grace! G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!

Kate The Great ( in fashion that is..)

   While writing this post, my eyes are glued to the tube watching the live telecast of the "Royal Wedding" and eagerly waiting to see Kate in her wedding gown. Oh, can't wait!

  Meanwhile, let me share you some of  my fave pictures of her. (All photos courtesy of Google Images)

Princess Diana's Wedding Jewelry - A Surprise Guest

Forgive me as I dive headlong into a Royal Wedding blogfest this week. I already teared up at the snippet of Barbara Walters' interview of Elton John on Good Morning America this morning - I'm going to be a mess come Friday.

While the rumor mill is buzzing about the guest list (Elton John and the Becks made the cut), the dress designer (Kate, herself, is now in the running) and the honeymoon spot (Lizard Island, Australia) - my heart belongs to the jewelry buzz - of course.

One tear-jerker of a jewelry morsel I uncovered was news that Princess Diana's sister, Lady Sarah McCorquodale, will wear the late princess's wedding earrings to William and Kate’s big day. The royal stunners each feature a central pear-shaped diamond surrounded by almost 50 smaller diamonds.




According to Today Show blog, The Windsor Knot, the diamond drop earrings were the “something borrowed” worn by Diana to marry Charles and were seen in all their glory when the couple kissed on the Buckingham Palace balcony 30 years ago (they were owned by Diana's mother, Frances Shand Kydd, who died in 2004).

The priceless jewels were flown back from America, where they were featured in the exhibition Diana: A Celebration. Now at Union Station museum and gallery in  Kansas City, the display also includes the late princess's wedding dress and other items from her life.

While all of the Spencer family, including Diana’s other sister Lady Jane Fellowes and brother Earl Spencer, will be attending - royal watchers were shocked to learn that none of them will play a visible role in the ceremony.

A snub of royal porportions? Or a tasteful way to make the day just about William and Kate?  I'm going with the latter. Let's not rub salt in old wounds.
