Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!

Carole Middleton, Kate Middleton’s mother, had a last-minute dress change for the royal wedding this morning. After being rumored to wear Alice Temperley, Carole ended up choosing a Catherine Walker “sky blue wool crepe coat dress with matching satin piping and passementerie at the waist and cuff over a sky blue silk shantung Sydney’ day dress with short pleated sleeves and pleated pockets,” according to the official royal statement. Kate’s dress is expected to be replicated by bridal lines for seasons to come, and we can assume that Carole’s dress will do the same for Mother of the Brides, so snag this similar style now:
