Tomorrow marks the start of the official Diamond Jubilee Celebration in Britain to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's 60 years on the throne. She acceded the throne on June 2, 1953 upon the death of her father, King George VI.

Queen Elizabeth II's great-great grandmother Victoria is the only other British monarch to have celebrated a Diamond Jubilee. The kick-off weekend will be packed with official celebrations as well as hundreds of street parties.

And while I love the Queen's own sense of queenly style, I will be watching what the always fashionable, Kate Middleton is wearing. This past Tuesday she was spotted at her first Royal Garden party in honor of the Diamond Jubilee wearing a pastel pink dress by Emilia Wickstead.....

While I'm glued to the BBC trying to see what she will wear next, I plan to break out my vintage Wedgewood Jasperware tea set made in 1953 to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation and have a cuppa!
