Jubilee fever rocks the nation- The Royal Survival Guide

You only have to open a magazine to see that cool Britannia is once again cool, awash with the Red, White and Blue. Even Oxford Street in London has had it's own Jubilee make over.

I have always admired the Queen for her calm attitude in a crisis, all those funky carriages and her amazing ability for colour blocking and still finding the right hat for all occasions.

 So it felt only right to hold a tea party in her honour. Well if that is one thing us Brits are good at is that we know how to throw a good party with pomp and ceremony and we always love an extra long bank holiday thrown in to the mix!


So events kick off on the 3rd June in grand style with the royal floating pageant along the Thames. I personally will be on the lookout for what amazing hat HRH pulls out of the bag but in the spirit of the event I went on a hunt for the coolest Jubilee themed hats. Well it doesn't seem right to be holding a tea party without the proper head attire.
 I found this beautiful piece by Hobbs and is right in the Union Jack Spirit! Priced ay £79

But now you are decorated in your finest, what about your abode, of course there is the traditional Union Jack bunting bur I have found a funky twist on this idea via eBay.This particular bunting is sold by seller scdp1694.

As we all recover from our tea party hang overs ;) on the 4th June, there will be the lighting of beacons across the UK to celebrate the Queen's 60 years on the throne. Given the unpredictable British weather at the moment, you might require one of these.

The funky Carriages get their outing on the 5th of June when the royal family go to St Pauls for a service of thanksgiving and we all get to enjoy the RAF fly-by

Keep Calm ma'am and Carry on Reigning
