We've all seen the Middleton ladies treat themselves to a dose of retail therapy at Marks & Spencer over the years, so it comes as no surprise that this popular UK chain would stock copies of Kate's iconic style.
You probably all know by now that I love a budget challenge, but this time I wanted to restrict myself to one store; Kohls. To be honest, it wasn't much of a challenge because Kohls has loads of "Kate styles" to choose from! If the Duchess lived in the US, I suspect she would shop there hahaha. I've recreated Kate's Topshop polka dot dress ensemble for around $135! PLUS you get 15% off when you spend over $100 with coupon code RMN15OFF. Don't forget ... you get 15% OFF when you spend over $100 with coupon code RMN15OFF
Boston Proper is slashing an extra 40% OFF their entire clearance range this Labor Day Weekend! No coupon is required, simply add the items to your cart and the discount will automatically apply. Ends Sep 2nd. Here are some repliKate styles I found on clearance:
It seems the merchandising team over at EziBuy love Kate's style as much I do! They have countless repliKates and at decent prices. Here's a sample ...
Within five minutes of browsing the Target website, these affordable repliKates came across my radar! And the best part is, Target currently has 20% OFF when you spend over $75 (no coupon code needed) ... yippee!
Popsugar have exclusive pics of the Duchess of Cambridge grocery shopping at her local Waitrose supermarket in Anglesey. This is the first time Kate has been publicly photographed since leaving the hospital with Prince George. Kate looked casually chic in a nautical inspired ensemble, wearing a Ralph Lauren breton striped top, Topshop maternity MOTO black skinny jeans, Givenchy sunglasses and her comfy Sebago boat shoes. Ralph Lauren 'Tori' Top Sold out - the Ralph Lauren Blue Label 'Tori' cotton jersey navy/cream stripe top is from their 2012 collection. The top was identified by Michelle Forest. Shop repliKate styles. Topshop Maternity MOTO Black Leigh Jeans It was initially thought that Kate wore her Paige 'Skyline' jeans, but the current consensus is that Kate wore the Topshop Maternity MOTO Black Leigh jeans, which would be a more comfortable option given that it's only been 5 weeks since the birth of Prince George. Thanks to My Small Obsessions for the ID. Shop the Topshop MOTO denim collection ... Sebago 'Bala' Boat Shoes Kate completed her nautical ensemble with a comfy pair of taupe/white Sebago 'Bala' boat shoes. Givenchy 'Obsedia' Sunglasses Kate wore her hair in a pony-tail and positioned her trusty Givenchy sunglasses atop her head. Repli-Kate the look for less Kate's outfit has an estimated cost of US$550, but I've managed to repliKate the entire outfit for almost one ninth of that value, and all from Target!
I love setting myself budget challenges and I'm a little chuffed that I was able to repliKate the entire Zara tulip dress outfit for under $135!
It can sometimes be a challenge to find replikates, but when I recently discovered Dorothy Perkins, I was like a kid in a candy store! From tops to shoes, there are a myriad of copy-Kate styles to choose from and all at budget friendly prices!
Today, a colleague of mine showed up to work wearing this gorgeous ponte sheath dress with a simple black blazer. It immediately reminded me of the Temperley 'Titan' dress which Kate wore back in December 2010 (when she was still Miss Middleton). When you're fanatical about Kate's fashion, you can't help but see elements of her style everywhere!
I asked her where she bought it from and she directed me to Amazon. I thought it would be fun to put together a Kate-inspired collage to show how to rock this frock from day to night. For the evening, I recommend a peplum blazer, and adding some bling. I choose this Victorian inspired necklace to resemble the neckline of the Temperley dress. Accessorize with an elegant clutch and simple heels. DONE! |
I have retired the "Bits and Bobs" section of the website and started a new segment title "Outfit Chronicle".
