Kate Middleton for the win

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the coverage of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Congratulations to Queen Elizabeth for her 60 years of service, but lets get real - everyone was watching Kate. Kate won, she beat the Queen at her own Jubilee. More than ever I want to buy fancy dresses, wear fascinators with long feathers, visit the 'mother land' and buy some sky-high, nude pumps. Here are some of my favorite photos from the Jubilee events.

The Diamond Jubilee River Paegant arrives at Westminster and Clock Tower on the River Thames. For only the second time in its history, the UK celebrates the Diamond Jubilee of a monarch. The Queen, along with all members of the royal family, participated in a River Pageant with a flotilla of a 1,000 boats accompanying them down the Thames. (Photo from msnbc.com)
