The Duchess of Cambridge turns 31 today.
Favorite Style Icon: Taylor Swift
T. Swift has seriously stepped her game in 2012. Yes, she’s still sticking to the neutral colored dresses – but hey! That’s okay. It works for her. Taylor Swift is really just doing all the right things when it comes to her style these days and it helps that there are a handful of fabulous designers throwing their pieces at her. It’s awesome. I, of course, am jealous.
Runner Up: Michelle Obama / Kate Middleton
Yes, I realize I’m a little late on this news. Technically, I saw it this morning, but this girl’s gotta work so Yow Yow’ing has to be done after hours.
Regardless, a royal baby is coming! I hope the baby looks exactly. like. Kate. Middleton.
