Your world building is so well thought out and interesting! From the political stuff to the tiara lore (which is a personal favourite).

It inspires me to work on my own world building 😊

Thank you! I love your story, too!

I'm glad people have been liking the tiara stuff because I have a lot (like, seriously, I could do this for the next year) planned!

HI! Number 1 is a little spicy so I'm going to put it below the cut!

Hello! How far in advance do you plan out your story? And do you find that it changes much as you go along?

Thank you for the question, love! I usually plan a month in advance, more or less. Now I have planned until christmas break, as I will probably rest for a bit as a need to study, and I have like two weeks fully prepared, with the editing and all. And lately I have had to delete some scenes because they didn't fit as well as when I though about them, but most of the times the changing is more about the order of the scenes or adding more. It doesn't change THAT much, but sometimes I need to explain something better than I expected!

Oh no Annie :( Why didn't Cecilia give her any help at all? It seems like she just pushed her out there expected her to deal with it without giving her the tools to actually deal with it. Annie hasn't exactly had to deal with anything like this before and you don't know what you don't know. Does she know that Annie was roofied and it wasn't some drunken bender? Maybe that would tone down the harsh response?

Cecilia was a bit harsh on her this time! She was trying to show her that actions have consequences, and since Annie didn't take care of it like she said she would Cecilia nudged her into the deep end. Cecilia didn't know about her drink being spiked, and assumed that Annie went out partying and forgot herself. If she had known she wouldn't have been so tough on her. Thanks for the ask! 🥰

5, 10 and 20 please and thank you 😊😊

hiiiii 💞💞💞💞

5. how do you choose your characters’ names?

hm!! before, it used to be names i liked. now, especially for emis gen and forward, im more picky. i sit and think about what my characters would actually pick, not a name i'd like how it sounds or the meaning behind it. all of emis children and their three middle names mean something to her and someone else 😏 !!!

10. is your story fully planned or are you still working things out? is there a definitive end?

it is fully planned and there's a definite end, but i'm really flexible on what's gonna happen until then. if i get an idea i like, i'll just add it to 'possible scenes' and incorporate it when i think it's right !!!

20. choose your favourite shot from your story so far

hmm!!! my fav has to be this one i think!! i had this concept in mind and i wasn't sure if i was going to be able to do it BUT it came out just like i wanted it to !! plus all my four silly kids are in it 😥 u can see some of their sibling dynamics (gwen+lil unnamed tot girl being close, gogo not carin about her lil brother timbles 😭)

On tour with Vivi: The Duchess of Laye makes her stunning debut on the international stage with her Maritrean tour

The Duke and Duchess of Laye wrapped up their first international tour on May 20th. With more than 20 planned engagements in five countries in just nine days, the pressure was on for the Duchess’s style team.

“Dressing for a tour would have been a new challenge,” said former royal stylist Katarina Lynx. “A tour involves more logistical considerations than domestic engagements. IF you’re popping down to the clinic to visit patients, you can send someone back for a change of shoes. On tour, you don’t have that option.”

Throughout the tour, Vivi struck the perfect balance between royal polish and unbothered ease. She chose seasonally appropriate sleeveless and short-sleeved dresses for her springtime tour, favoring lighter fabrics and and pastel tones like lavender and lilac. The Duchess played princess with full skirts and structured bodices. Several of her looks featured sweet puff sleeves, echoing her iconic bridal gown, while breezy blowouts and understated makeup looks kept her youthful and not overdone or fussy.
