Like many women I know, I've got a major crush on Prince William. He's smart, he's hunky, and well, he's royal. So when I heard that he was settling in with Kate Middleton, I was a little disappointed. (read: WHY NOT ME?) But, over the years, Kate has also won my affections.

What endeared me most to Kate was her good taste in fashion. She manages to look young and fun in a sophisticated sort of way. Earlier this week, Kate appeared on the streets of London with a Meli' Melo' cappuccino bag in canvas and leather. Yes, you read that correctly -- canvas and leather -- just like the L.L. Bean Boat and Tote bags that New Englanders have been carrying for years. And to tell you the truth, seeing her with that handbag makes me love her even more. A girl who could have any handbag in the world, but chooses to carry a pragmatic, unpretentious one is a girl after my own heart.

Would you just go ahead and marry her, Wills?
