LK Bennett To Reissue Kate Pieces, Summer Fashion For Kate, Royal Wedding Anniversary Coins + More

Whilst waiting to see what Kate chooses to wear next, the fashionable reporters over at Grazia have given us a glimpse into how the Duchess would look in this seasons most stunning pieces. The first mock-up that caught my eye featured Kate wearing red, by designers Roland Mouret and Antonio Berardi. Obviously Kate would opt to wear these in a more conservative manner, I think red is really her colour. Kate is joined by actress Carey Mulligan wearing Roland Mouret.

During the Royal visit to Leicester Kate judged several pairs of shoes created by students at De Montfort University and selected a pair of blue suede shoes covered in lace and delicate beading by design student Becka Hunt. 

Should Kate choose to wear the blue shoes what could she team them with? Below we see her in three beautiful pieces by Nina Ricci, Carven and Erdem. Blue is very much on trend this season,  There are often Amazon promos and codes available for designer fashions and cosmetics commoners can purchase :)

To really show off the shoes while staying true to her classic style, a white dress would be the ideal choice. Below we see Kate wearing Andrew Gn, Blumarine and Erdem. 

Kate looked beautiful in Calgary wearing a primrose yellow Jenny Packham dress. Will we see her wear yellow again this summer? Below we see Kate looking trendy in Mulberry, Erdem and Burberry. I simply love the lace Erdem not sure the other two would be to Kate's taste. Which of these looks would you like to see Duchess Kate wear?

Duchess Kate's sartorial choices have been revitalising British fashion and now front of house staff at Kate's London home, Kensington Palace are following in her footsteps. The new uniforms designed by Jaeger were unveiled as part of the royal residence's £12 million transformation. The 128 year old firm created bright red, double breasted blazers teamed with black trousers and knee length skirts.

Design director Stuart Stockdale said

"I have been inspired by centuries of royal and court style and married this with modernity to offer the palace staff a bespoke uniform that they can feel proud of and enjoy wearing."

What are your thoughts on the designer uniforms?

Prince Harry recently completed his celebrated royal tour in Brazil. During his time there he candidly spoke about his sister Kate and Olympic plans.

"The Three of us, my brother and my sister, will be as involved in the Olympics as we can be. I thought you were going to ask me if Kate was giving me fashion tips! She's not giving me tips yet."

I thought it a truly touching comment by Harry. No doubt Kate also think of the Prince as a brother. Looking forward to seeing future jubilee engagement with William, Harry and Kate.


Kate and the Queen feature on the current cover of Hello magazine.

Tomorrow Prince Charles will introduce Kate to his charity Children and Arts. See you all then :)

The house that inspired 'Anne Of Green Gables'

Children of all have ages have enjoyed reading the bestselling novel 'Anne Of Green Gables'. The novel describes a couple who were sent an orphan girl instead of a boy mistakenly, yet decide to keep her. Author Lee Maud Montgomery used her own childhood experiences in Prince Edward Island for the book. Obviously Kate was one of the many children who adored the novel, insisting on a visit to Prince Edward Island during her state visit to Canada.

A source said, 'It is something of a sentimental journey. The book was Kate's favourite when she was growing up. The details of the Canadian tour are still being worked out but she requested that Prince Edward Island be on their itinerary so she could see the house and places mentioned in the book'. The character has become an iconic image for the island and an excellent source of tourism. Locals are excited about the visit, 'It's good, there are definitely no negatives to this visit'. Royals including Prince Charles and Sophie of Wessex have visited the island while touring Canada. The Duchess of Cambridge who performed her first official public duty as William's wife yesterday greeting the Obamas did a splendid job. She graces the cover of almost every newspaper today and has been hailed a style icon, crashing the Reiss site after wearing their shola camel dress.
