Really Wild Boots Give 15% Off

Boot, boots, boots. Kate loves boots and so do we. You may not be thinking about your boots right now, since in the Northern hemisphere we are in the middle of summer--shout out to you all southern folks enjoying your winter--but it might be something you should give some quick thought to, because...Really Wild Clothing has released their fall collection, including new boots, and they are offering 15% off on boots if you purchase before July 31st. Which is...today. Yes, this post is late.



Kate has been a Really Wild Clothing fan for years. Most famously, she modeled for them outside of Blenheim Castle way back in 2004. I will tell you something about Blenheim Castle, although, you may wish you didn't know. It is the a film location for the 1982 Scarlet Pimpernel with Anthony Andrews and the stunning Jane Seymour. I just found that out recently, ugh. If you were looking for an awesome movie to get you through this next week, I just gave it to you.  Back to Kate...


She volunteered at one of their booths back in the day. I loved this picture of Kate. I still do, but back when it first surfaced I. REALLY. LOVED IT.


Actually, I wrote a post about the boots we are discussing, so check it out here. I had forgotten... These boots are really beautiful and she still wears them about today, so you might want to consider jumping in while the going is good. 15% off is a pretty nice deal. RWA3 at checkout!

Pippa's Favorite Bag? The Modalu London Purse



I wasn't really thinking about Baby Cambridge when I booked my summer holiday for mid-July. I fly to France just as the birth of the century is due to take place, so yes, a certain lack of foresight on this one. In a desperate bid to stay in touch with the Royal world and with you, I rushed out and bought a MacBook Air to take with me on my travels. But, my nifty new travel computer needed a carrying case that can seamlessly drift though the most glamorous European cities without shaming me. I know, there had been a significant amount of labored shopping justification going on... I turned to those glamazons, the Middletons, to determine a suitable bag.



Pippa has been carrying this gorgeous purse around so much, Modalu has renamed the bag the Pippa. Carole and Pippa both carried the bag when they went to see Kate's portrait at the National Portrait Gallery. I don't follow Pips the way I follow Kate, so I can't say for certain when she first debuted this bag. Maybe the morning after the Royal Wedding? The Royal Wedding was arguably the most high profile moment in the Middletons lives. Never again will the eyes of the world be so firmly focused on this family, as a group, as it was the weekend they came to such public attention--for those who were not die-hard fans--after they had just partially hosted the wedding of our generation. It was big stuff, and when they emerged from the Gordon Hotel to head back to Berkshire, they were appropriately decked out. 


Pippa was toting a really beautiful bag that might have been admired and forgotten if it weren't for the fact that she just kept carrying it! And not just that exact bag, she loved it enough to buy the same design in multiple colors!! These are just three different shots. I cannot count the various shades and styles she has this bag in, these are just three:


What's the good news for us? Modalu is having a sale right now! Yes, half off on the Modalu bag. As you can see from the pictures, this bag has three separate sections, two on each side and a center compartment. I bought an 11" MacBook Air and it fights perfectly in either of the two outside compartments. It is a snug fit, you will never be able to stuff in a 13", so don't even try. Even if you don't need this to schlepp your computer around, this is a sturdy, trendy bag. It really is too beautiful.

I am entirely in love; it is not hard to see why Pippa has so many.  Thanks to the Modalu bag I will be stylishly in touch with you all for the next four weeks as we welcome Baby Cambridge--you should snag some Middleton style, too!
