Did Someone Say Tiaras?

I can't think why I decided to write on Tuesdays as well as Saturdays.

Every month or so, for the last few months, The Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor has been having polls, where readers vote for their favourite tiaras in each of the major categories of tiaras (Fringe, Big Gun, various gemstones), that get added to a list; the list of Reader's Ultimate Tiaras. I have been voting religiously, but the ones I chose never won. Except one time. 

So, today, I'm going to create my own list of tiaras. It won't be exactly like Order of Splendor's, because I don't know which categories are yet to come, and it will feature a whole lot of diamonds. Because I love diamonds. They're so sparkly!

While compiling this list, I was sure that I wouldn't be able to limit myself to ten tiaras. And I was right. My list originally comprised of thirty-two tiaras, which I was able to bring down to twenty. And since I never really know what to do with this blog...

I'll be back with Tiaras : Part 2 next week!
