Ever
wondered what it would be like to be English for a day? You could drink tea
with Harry Styles, or maybe indulge in a few crumpets with Prince William
(well, a girl can dream, can’t she?!).
June 2nd
will mark the Queen of England’s Diamond Jubilee. This momentous occasion means
that Queen Elizabeth II will have reigned the throne for 60 years. In
celebration, street parties will take place all over the country. Brits will
throw on their best frocks, wave Union Jack flags and feast with friends and
family.
Sounds
fun right? Well, we American girls are not ones to miss out on a good party.
We’ll be joining in in spirit even if we can’t be there for real. Here are a
few across the pond inspired items to help your inner royal princess shine through.
London calling
If you’re
feeling bold, go for this Union Jack printed tee, it’s quirky with a punk rock
edge.

Tea for two
Nothing
says English royalty like a classic china tea cup. This bracelet is super cute
and sophisticated too!
Small Sips Bracelet, $20, modcloth.com
Strawberry fields
It’s a
sure bet that there will be plenty of strawberries and cream enjoyed between
friends across the pond this summer. This pretty picnic food looks even
prettier on your shoes.

Floral frenzy
A sweet
trend for young Brits this season is classy floral. Think the pretty flower
print on porcelain tea cups splashed onto flowing white dresses. We love this
tube dress: no strap lines after partying in the sun all day.
English rose
These
rose earrings are perfect for summer and look great teamed with a floral dress
and an English scone in hand.
