Wimbledon Winners (and who broke Ms Wintours steely stance)

If you are a Brit, then nothing spells summertime

more than Wimbledon (let's face it we can't rely on the

weather for that in the UK ;-)

For me Wimbledon spells out everything very British;

*tradition (it's still an all white tournament)

*strawberries and cream washed down usually with 

Champagne. I am convinced

they really do taste better when eaten at Wimbledon.

For £2.50 (approx $4) for a handful, they had

better taste different (or so my Hubby says ;-)

*matches being rained off at some point

*"proper" behaviour ;-)

What I love about Wimbledon is that the dress code is

very much English garden party;

your summery best (which is slightly different from most

sporting events)

One person I love looking at to see what she is wearing is

Kim Murray (Andy Murray's wife).
I'm not a huge Murray fan. I am a Federer fan through
and through (especially as I used to watch him and my cousin
having tennis lessons years ago in Switzerland when they 
were little boys!)

Anyway I digress (as usual).

I love that she always wears gorgeous dresses and always flies 

the British flag with what she wears. I am not
particularly patriotic, but I love that she does
that for British designers.

This year she has chosen some really lovely dresses.

She nearly always has a fab Aspinal bag with her

(and let's not even talk about the luscious locks!)

(From left to right): 

i) The gorgeous 'Aurelia' shirt dress by Beulah (a brand favoured by the 

Duchess of Cambridge).

ii) Gorgeous smart powder blue lace trench by Burberry

iii) Silk chiffon dress by Burberry (now reduced on Net-a-porter)

and of course her trusty Aspinal London tote bags

Yesterday she was wearing a gorgeous Ted Baker dress which 

is one of my favourite so far.

I rarely wear anything floral, but I would definitely

make an exception for this little number.

Others looking gorgeous in their dresses were Pippa Middleton and of

course La Wintour.

i)Pippa wearing a red and grey geometric dress by Tabitha Webb 

(one of two dresses by Tabitha Webb that she has worn to

Wimbledon)

ii)Anna Wintour wearing her trademark shades and 

bob, statement jewellery and a light patterned

dress (which looked very Chanel but I may

be wrong).

iii)Pippa wearing a lovely frilled neckline and

ruffle dipped hem dress by Suzannah. This dress

would also be ideal for the races, the polo

or even the Henley Regatta which is coming up soon.

But my favourite image so far of Wimbledon has to be this picture of

"La Wintour" being pecked on the cheek by David Beckham.

I have never seen her without her shades and her ice-maiden

stance. But I guess if anyone can break that steely demeanour, it had to be him.

Wimbledon really is a great event for getting dressed up, meeting up

with friends and generally letting your hair down (but with a certain

decorum ;-)

Are you a Wimbledon fan?
Do you have a favourite sporting event that you attend?
As always love to hear your thoughts
