I Want To Be A Princess, Too...

   With the Royal Wedding just around the corner, fashionistas every where just can't seem to get enough of the future Princess-- or maybe it's her wardrobe.  Her every ensemble is scrutinized in such a way that designers start turning out replica's before Kate can get out of one outfit and in to another. 
    Ahhhh... and just to think-- it all began with this super-chic-- and did we mention affordable, white Reiss gown she donned in her engagement pictures (around $200 U.S. bucka-roos).

    We love the combination of utter-simplicity and classiness that Kate possesses whether on her way to a royal engagement or.. just heading out for afternoon tea.

   Bust most of all-- it's what's on her hand that has us swooning and biting at the bit. You know what I speak of....

   The oval sapphire, which just happens to be surrounded by a slew of diamonds, has inspired the world.  Women young and old have fallen in love with it so, that designers are having a hard time keeping replica's of the piece in stock! 

   But seriously,  whether you're obsessed with the royal wedding (like me) or not (don't deny it).... what woman wouldn't want to wear that beautiful ring on their finger?

   Case in point--- meet my "Kate Middleton Wanna-Be-Ring".  You better believe when I found this beauty in a little jewelry store in my hometown,-- I was buying!  And yeah, I may not have the Prince (although I do have my eye set on Harry)... but I've got a ring that's just as classy and beautiful.  And you can too-- no matter your price-range!

   As for me, I will be glued to my TV-set on April 29th.. to witness Prince William and Princess Katherine say their "I do's".   And although I'm not in her shoes, I'll be sitting there, happily content.. wearing my princess ring... because after all, I think I deserve to get to be a Princess, too.
