Celebrity Style: Letizia of Spain

I love Kate Middleton - not going to lie, most days I want to be Kate Middleton. She just exudes class and poise, not to mention her tremendous personal style. While I was trolling around on Pinterest the other day looking through pictures of Kate, several photos of Letizia, the Queen of Spain, caught my eye. Apparently the Duchess of Cambridge isn't the only European Royal with great style. Kate's structured wardrobe speaks to my style-soul, but I love Letizia's take on classics with a twist.







Love her shoes in the picture below!

Artist: Amy Richards

One Saturday in October, when it happened to be my birthday, some of my sweet friends and I met for breakfast at our local go-to coffee shop. Every so often on Saturdays, the shop hosts "pop-up markets" in the parking lot where local creatives can set up a booth to market their wares. There are always a few hand-letterers, some jewelry makers, and several artists among others. But this particular Saturday, I discovered an artist/illustrator that I hadn't seen there before. I kept coming back to her table throughout the morning. I just couldn't get enough of Amy Richard's paintings because they are so sweet and cheery, and everything she had to sell was reasonably priced. Check out her Etsy shop here!

My favorite is her watercolor Queen Anne's Lace:

I love her fruit and veggie prints too! I would be so happy to see these hanging in my kitchen:






 And how cute would these farm animals be for a nursery? 




The next pop-up market at Sola Coffee Cafe is coming up! Check their events page for information on live music, their "Sola Hot-Mini 5K" race and more.
