I finally had a fantastic week! The energy the in the air was better, I received lots of good news, and I made plans with a lot of my friends for the last few weeks of summer. 

I'm in a good place right now, which is a lot better than I was two-three weeks ago. Phew. I hope all that aggression is over because I don't think my mind, body or spirit can take it.

Aside from it being a good week, there was inspiration everywhere and lots of articles, blog posts and stuff happening that I simply just ate up. Seriously, my bookmarks are all filled to the brim!

Can we start with something simple, something that threw my Thursday for a loop?

I was in Manhattan, sitting in a Starbucks, awaiting my day at interning. As I was sitting down, enjoying my Skinny Vanilla Latte and blueberry scone, the news broke that Kate Middleton was in labor. Actually, it had broken hours before, in the middle of the night but I was just seeing it plastered across every news and social media outlet.

I tried SO hard to not be giddy as a school girl that the little prince or princess would be born that day! HOW EXCITING! I had been awaiting this birth as if it were my own child because my obsession with the Royal Family is sick and it was finally here.

Fun fact: That night, I had a dream that Kate Middleton went into labor. HOW SCARY AND FREAKY?!

That day at interning, the Levo office was completely buzzing. Most of the conversation that day was occupied with guesses of the gender, name, and everything having to do with that precious future king or queen. 

While I did my best to concentrate and get all my work done (I did because I'm a good intern), I had the "Royal Baby Watch" on mute aka CNN.com. I was also compulsively checking social media to see when the baby news was revealed.

I was indeed, the first person at least on my timeline to break the news that Prince George had arrived. Someone tweeted "IT'S A BOY" and I lost my shit. I really wanted a girl because hey, Kate Middleton dressing up a baby girl has to be the cutest thing ever but also, she would've been Queen. 

There was a law in England that said only the first born boy would be heir to the throne, even if he had an older sister. This law was overturned right before Kate gave birth that way no matter the gender, that baby would rule the United Kingdom. 

I was super happy all day and when I got home from interning, I continued to watch every aspect of coverage. I also spent the whole next day watching the hospital door for a peek at Prince George and his parents. 

The first glimpse of baby George was spectacular. It was historical. It made me cry. This was the future King of England we saw, just a day after he was born.

It doesn't get more bone chilling than that.

It was especially emotional for people like my mom and aunt who had watched Prince William be born the way I was watching Prince George. It was insane.

For the next year, Prince George fever did not die down. Every time a new picture of him was released to the public, people went insane. I loved getting glimpses of him every few months and with every photo, he got cuter and cuter.

Shit hit the fan in April when baby George went on his first Royal Tour and we got a hefty amount of photos, from playing with mum's hair to throwing toys on the ground and making a fuss when at the zoo. We got a real look at what kind of child George is and even though he's the future King, he's just a baby.

He's a mighty cute baby as well, with cheeks so squeezable and stylish clothes, along with the most famous parents in the world. George has got it made.

Today Prince George turns ONE and I wanted to commemorate in the only way I knew how. Also, I mean...have you looked at my blog's name? It's only right that I honor a true ROYAL on Royally Pink!

Here are my favorite Prince George moments from the past year!!!

Happy 1st birthday Prince George!! The world celebrates with you :)

The Best of Momma Cambridge 

Royal Perfection

Here we are, another week came and went. Time goes by way too fast nowadays; can I get someone to tell Father Time I need a breather? I feel like my days just fly by and it's really uncool. It also doesn't help that graduation is in three weeks and I'm bugging out. I know I keep talking about it but I really can't get myself out of denialland.

1. The Best Things About Being a Basic Bitch: Cosmo always has these great, hilarious articles that make me crack up but also are 100% true. This week, my favorite article has to be about being "basic". I hear this phrase everywhere and usually it's a bad thing but if being basic is wrong, I don't want to be right because I do everything on this list and I love it.

2. Prince George: I literally cannot even with this child. The Royal Tour in Australia and New Zealand has been on my radar for the past few weeks and I can't even enough. Seeing Prince George along with his mummy and daddy has brought a smile to my face every single day. He is such a little nugget and the fact that he is so comfortable in front of the camera is even funnier. I'm obsessed!

3. "Welcome to the Real World": I feel like I don't go a day without thinking or talking about graduation, jobs, or the real world, lately. It's annoying but necessary. I've also been blogging about it a lot because I just have so much to say. I've talked about Intern Queen here a lot and Lauren Berger came out with a new book this week all about what it takes to make it in the real world. I ordered it yesterday and I can't wait to get my hands on it. I'll post a review when I'm finished reading!

4. Spring Nails: The weather this week was glorious so that calls for one thing and one thing only...bright nail polish! I love when the seasons change because that means I'm allowed to switch up my polish colors. I do have a special place in my heart for my deep, dark polish colors but there is nothing more exciting than wearing a bright pink or pastel green on your nails. I bought two new Essie colors in the past three weeks and I used them up already. "Sittin Pretty" is a gorgeous neon purple color while "Resort Fling" is a peachy, orange that I paired with the hot pink color called "Watermelon". I'm obsessed.

5. Graduation Dress: I don't know if I mentioned this already but I really, really want to wear a Lilly dress on graduation. My mom said she'd buy it as my graduation gift but OMG I want it right now. How beautiful is this Robyn Short Sleeve dress in Behind the Gate print? GIVE ME NOW.

Happy Friday everyone!

Can we take a quick look at the adorable pictures from Prince George's Christening? I have never been so in love with a family the way I love the Royals.

There is no one more beautiful, regal and elegant. 

Baby George is too cute for words, can I be his nanny?

The Duchess of Cambridge looks perfect in matching cream ensembles with her bouncing baby boy. And can we please talk about Pippa?! She steals the show in the photos with the entire Middleton/Windsor clan.

I'm not even going to touch on Prince Harry, he is an entire other category!

My royal fever has not died down since George's birth and I'm pretty sure it will 

never leave!
