Poshly Kate!!

Published on by The French LillyLeave a comment

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge…better known as Princess Kate is a style icon! I admire her sense of style and the fact that she doesn’t mind wearing an outfit twice ;0) I look up to women who dress so stylish and eloquently that they give off a “down to earth” aura.

This is by far my favorite updo hairstyle for couture or after five attire.  Ever since Alica Keys showed up on the red carpet at the 2009 American Music Awards….I have always wanted to try this style.  My cuz T. Marie gotta make this happen for the 2013 Zulu Ball in New Orleans, LA!! I’m just sayin :0)
