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

Kate Middleton is my hero. Seriously. Less than 24 hours after giving birth to the next heir to the throne, Kate emerged from the hospital looking as polished (hate that word, but it’s really the best way to describe her) as ever – complete with a paparazzi-ready blowout and a sweet blue polka dot Jenny Packham dress. Oh, and a healthy little 8 lb heir in tow. Would she have worn pink if it was a girl?! Was Kate’s choice of polka dots a subtle nod to Princess Diana, who wore a green polka dot dress when she made the same post-baby exit from St. Mary’s hospital 30 years ago? We’re not sure, but leave a comment below and let us know what you think about Kate’s post-maternity look.
