Kate Middleton and Prince William have Ikea Furniture at Kensington Palace

There isn’t typically much common ground between the lives of royals and those of us, you know, common folk but turns out there are some things we can relate to after all. Case in point: it was revealed on the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s Sweden tour that they—are you ready?—have Ikea furniture at Kensington Palace.

That’s right. On their visit to ArkDes, an architecture and design museum in Stockholm, Kate Middleton and Prince William reportedly told Ikea’s head of design, Marcus Engman, that they’ve got pieces from the company in their children’s rooms.

“I’m proud that we can suit everybody,” said Engman. “That’s what we want Ikea to be — for the many people of the world, both royalty and ordinary people.”

Now we highly doubt that the royal family has to ever experience the woes of furniture assembly (they’ve probably got a butler, or ten, to do that for them) but at least we can all say we’ve shopped at the same place as Will and Kate.

Why the Transition Dress Should be Your Go-To Piece Between Seasons

Image
Somehow we’re already well past the middle of August meaning yet another summer is slipping away from us day by day. And although we’ll soon have to wave goodbye to long, sunny days, the arrival of fall brings with it the opportunity for a whole new wardrobe — and that’s something we’ve  always got time for. If you ask us, fall fashion is the most exciting part of the season as we can finally start bringing back the clothing that was too heavy to wear under the summer sun. However, the summer-to-autumn clothing transition isn’t always easy.  Late, unexpected summer heat making an appearance in September can hinder the standard approach, and make a seasonal wardrobe transition a little more difficult. When shorts no longer seem seasonably acceptable, and it is still somehow too hot for pants, the perfect solution to this transition trickery is the humble dress. Transition dresses are a FASHION office staple for the in-between season because they provide the perfect fo...
