Not my favorite outfit-to-brooch match, this combo, but it's another brooch we don't see super often, and I'll always take that.

Holyrood Week: Scottish Parliament Anniversary

The Queen, joined by The Duke of Rothesay, marked the 20th Anniversary of the Scottish Parliament.

Ooh, a rare brooch pick for day 2 of Holyrood Week! The Queen first publicly wore Queen Mary's Thistle Brooch in a 2010 portrait taken for the Scottish Parliament, so this makes for a nice callback. (We've only seen her wear it one other time, in Scotland in 2017.)

Holyrood Week: Ceremony of the Keys and High School Visit

The Queen visited Greenfaulds High School, Cumbernauld, and arrived at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh, for the start of her annual week of Scottish engagements. Her Majesty was presented with the Keys of the City which she returned in the traditional Ceremony of the Keys. A Guard of Honor mounted in the Forecourt of the Palace was reviewed.

Looks like we haven't seen Victoria's Bow Brooch since...last year during Holyrood Week?! Hardly seems possible for such a popular piece. Anyway, it's a good fit to a lemon outfit full of sweet details.

I'm thinking we have a Palm Leaf in action here, but the floor is open for your guesses.

Faith Community Reception

The Queen, joined by The Duchess of Gloucester, hosted a reception at Buckingham Palace to celebrate the work of UK faith and belief groups in bringing local communities together.

Already the fourth appearance of good old Cullinan V in 2019! Headed for another appearance on the year's most popular list? Seems a solid bet.

Back in hot pink at the end of a busy week, with an interesting brooch choice to boot!

It's the last day of Royal Ascot and at last I have an outfit to call my favorite of Ascot 2019. It's not The Queen - sorry, ma'am - but she was looking garden fresh indeed as she gave her mother's shell brooch its first outing of the year. (I think my favorite of The Queen's Ascot outfits this year was Day 4.)

No, my Ascot fave this year has to goes to the blue-clad beauty Her Maj was chatting to above, her granddaughter-in-law Autumn Phillips. In a JUMPSUIT, no less! I liked it even before I saw this absolutely boss #TeamShades pic, for the record. Easy, breezy, and a chic take on the Ascot dress code.
