Today is a heavy post day.  Sorry to flood, but there are multiple things I would like to cover.  Not all of them are super long, though.  Some (most?) are quick check-ins.

I’m not expecting a ton of hits for this one, but I’m going to start with Sophie, because the Daily Mail bothered to cover her and therefore I must cover her, because she’s awesome and deserves the spotlight.

Sophie, Countess of Wessex visited the Livity School in Streatham yesterday where she met with pupils and staff and addressed officials, parents and guests.  She opened the new building, accompanied by the Lord Lieutenant of Greater London.  The Livity School is a primary school created in September 2001 for children with learning disabilities, physical impairments and mental conditions.

Let me not forget to mention the best part, Sophie drove herself!  How awesome is that.  Now that is down-to-earth.

Sophie wore a Proenza Schouler coat and a black dress underneath, with black pumps and a snakeskin clutch.  She looks lovely; very professional, but with some flare.  I like that.

The coat retails at £1,740.  Yikes.  Every time Kate wears a ridiculously expensive coat, I mention it, so I have to mention it with Sophie, to be fair.  The cost of the coat is ridiculous, I have never bought a designer coat, so maybe that’s just how much they cost?  I don’t know.  I’m poor so I think you can have a nice coat and not spend a semester’s worth of tuition to get it.
