George's First BIrthday- July 22nd

For George's first birthday I created three collages. The first includes when he came out of the hospital with his parents, the first official pictures released of him, and the second official picture released. The second includes multiple pictures from his New Zealand/Australia tour with William and Kate. Finally the third is those two collages combined with the one of the pictures the palace released on Saturday, July 19th, and Monday, July 21st.

George was born at 16:24 BST (British Summer Time)

The Kate Middleton Challenge- July 19th

I found this thing on Instagram called "The Kate Middleton Challenge." It's where you find some of your favorite clothing items or outfits of Kate's and post them. I put them on my Instagram account (duchess_catherine_elizabeth on Instagram) and now I decided to put them here! I was going to do one a day, starting today, but it would have ended on the 1st of August! So I just decided to do them all at once.

This is the "schedule" of how the challenge will go.



















This is my favorite dress of Kate's! It's the lace Alexander McQueen dress she wore to one of the 2012 Diamond Jubilee Ceremonies. I like this occasion more than the time when she wore in to a garden party in 2014 because of the dusty rose sash. The whole outfit is gorgeous!

#1- Favorite Dress




















My favorite shirt is here white, 1/2 sleeve length shirt with navy blue nautical themed stripes. She has worn it multiple places including her New Zealand yacht racing engagement and her outing to William's polo match where George started walking!

#2- Favorite Shirt




















My favorite pair of her pants are these bright blue skinny jeans. They are so out there, but she really wears them well!

#3- Favorite "Trousers"




















My favorite skirt is her pale blush pink Alexander McQueen skirt she wore in Australia. It's flowy and girly yet still super elegant!

#4- Favorite Skirt




















My favorite Kate outerwear is her ice blue coat-dress that she wore to the order of the garter in 2014. It's so classy with the cut and style but still young with the color! Love it!

#5- Favorite Outerwear




















For my favorite headwear I chose this nude hat. This was wore with her lace AM dress I talked about earlier. The hat part is super pretty and just the right size, the fishnet adds a bit of fun, and the flower has flare but is still sensible!

#6- Favorite Headwear




















My favorite bag of Kate's is actually a clutch! I like her nude clutch that folds over. The color matches everything and the fold is so cute!

#7- Favorite Bag




















Kate's shoes that I love the most are OF COURSE her nude LK Bennett Sledge pumps! They are soooo gorgeous and they go with everything! I got ones just like them for a lot less!

#8- Favorite Shoes




















This is my favorite smart outfit for Kate because it is so beautiful on her! Navy blue is the best color for her, the dress flatters her shape so well, and the buttons are so cute! I wish I had her body and wardrobe.

#9- Favorite Smart Outfit




















This is my favorite casual outfit of Kate's! The blazer is so adorable and looks great on her, the jeans are just normal, her striped shirt is so cute, and the wedges go with basically everything she wears! She nails this outfit every time!

#10- Favorite Casual Outfit




















This is my favorite pre-engagement outfit of Kate's! I love how you could just buy any of this at the store and the scarf is aaaadorable!

#11- Favorite Pre-Engagement Outfit



















This is my favorite necklace of Kate's for many reasons! 1- I love that Pippa gave it to her because it shows that Kate is close with her family and still wears gifts from them even though she is a Duchess. 2- The color is so pretty on her! 3- THE CHARMS! There is a W for William, a circle that says George Alexander Louis, and a "boy" cut-out. I just think it's the cutest way of always keeping her family with her.

#12- Favorite Necklace















Finally we reach the end! I'm not really sure which earrings of Kate's are my favorites because she wears so many and all look pretty! I chose this pair because they are so glamorous! The circle is cool because it is just one diamond stud, or a chandelier, and I LOVE diamonds! If I could afford these, I would definitely get them.

#13- Favorite Earrings















I hoped you enjoyed this post and the items. Feel free to comment what some of your favorites are!

George's first birthday pictures come out tonight at 10:30 pm London time! I will have them up as soon as I can! I can't wait to see how cute he looks! If you remember, George, Kate, and William were seen with a photographer at a Butterfly Exhibit.
