HRH: So Many Thoughts on Royal Style by Elizabeth Holmes
4.0
Was thrilled to find a copy of this on the new books shelf at the library. Will and Kate's wedding piqued my royal fascination -- or rather, the delightful breakfast to watch it during my roommate's bachelorette weekend did. Really, it was Holmes' Instagram account that totally hooked me, with her thoughtful commentary on the statements behind the pieces and connections across generations.
I wasn't sure how the book would play out, given the pacing/format of Instagram stories is part of Holmes' storytelling, but it is a delightful continuation of the conversation. I knew how much thought had gone into the book from hearing her share the process, it is evident on each page how much time and planning went into curating the pictures and commentary. It was more than the coffee table book than I thought it would be and left me wishing to be a bit more intentional with my style (she says, having read this book largely in her pajams).
