No matter how controversial the issue of the Monarchy has become, there is no reason to celebrate the long reign of the Queen, and the long long weekend we get to enjoy!
The extra long bank holiday weekend is going to be pretty busy, from the street parties to the spectacular line up of the Diamond Jubilee Concert and well any celebration is an excuse to dress up!
So I've put together two outfits for the two events I'm looking forward to the most!
Up and down the streets of Britain, we will come together and partake in something as traditionally British as the Queen herself: street parties!
Us Britons used to be renowned for our ability to come together as neighbours and celebrate our community spirit, come Sunday hopefully we'll show the world that the neighbourly spirit is still in us.
This outfit will be perfect! You can find all these great pieces in Topshop. I especially love the bag, nothing better represents the Queen than her beloved corgis!

Yes I know not many of us will get the chance to board one of the 1,000 boats set to sail the Thames this Sunday, but who said that we can't dress up and go down to the banks to see the wonderful pageant.
And yes this is some what of a very nautical look, maybe a little too overboard but I must say I do love it! Nothing makes you feel more ready to set sail than stripes and anchors, with a lovely pair of cropped trousers, this look is classy yet suited to the nautical festivities.
With all this fun and excitement we must not forget that we do still live in England and that the weather can be unpredictable to say the least, so why not pick up this great little parka; it conveniently folds up into a little bag, meaning you can bring it with you in your purse and pop it on if the heavens open!
So whatever your views on the Monarchy are I don't think there is any reason not to join in the celebration, I myself love any excuse for a party!
To find out about all the festivities do check out the BBC website, it has some great information on whats going on in terms of the big celebrations and the more local.
