In 2018 I will be changing the format of the Newsletter. It will no longer be published weekly as a "Weekly Wrap-Up". Instead I will post a Newsletter on an ad hoc basis.  The reason for this is simply lack of time.  I found the newsletter required too much effort on my weekends and took away valuable time with family and friends.  Thank you for your understanding.

The countdown is on ... there is just over 20 days until Christmas! What to wear? What to buy? It can be a stressful time of year, and for those who need a little royal inspiration for the holidays, I have dedicated this year's final newsletter to the Holiday Season!

Need some sartorial ideas for the Holiday Season? Here are some outfit suggestions inspired by the Duchess of Cambridge:

Last Christmas, Kate stepped out in a familiar brown wool coat by Hobbs.  She refined her yuletide look with a luxe faux-fur stole and added a vintage vibe with fringed leather block  heels.

SHOP THE OUTFIT: Coat | Faux Fur Collar | Dress | Earrings | Bag | Shoes

Whatever your traditions at Christmas time it's always nice to pick a stand-out outfit that that will make you feel especially festive. A red dress is a must during the Christmas holidays! Add some statement jewellery for a bit of glitz and glamour.

SHOP THE OUTFIT: Dress | Shoes | Clutch | Earrings | Bracelet

For those of us in the Southern Hemisphere, the "Silly Season" is about the beach and BBQ Christmas parties. The outfit Kate wore to a garden party in Germany would be ideal for any merry occasion Down Under! Get the look for less:

I have curated a list of Christmas gift ideas for any royal-lover, inspired by Duchess Kate's favourite brands and her style essentials. I've also included ideas for the home and novelty gifts.  Use this guide to drop a hint to your significant other, or use it yourself! Even if your BFF, mum, or sister isn't as fanatical about Kate as you are, there's no doubt she'll love one of these timeless gifts.

Happy Christmas shopping!

This will be the final newsletter for the year.  You can stay up-to-date with Kate-related news via the blog and my social media accounts:

Wishing you all a safe and blissful holiday season!

There are a lot of bargains to be had this weekend so I've decided to dedicate this week's newsletter to the array of Duchess-related Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales from around the globe!

Below is a guide to the Black Friday weekend sales from Kate's favourite brands.

Happy shopping everybody! I hope you all bag a bargain!

Sorry, there will no Wrap-Up this week because I will be out of town. Thanks for your understanding.

After battling with severe morning sickness at the beginning of her third pregnancy, the Duchess of Cambridge seems to be making a full recovery as she continues with her busy schedule this week.
On Tuesday evening she attended the charitable Anna Freud National Centre gala wearing her black Diane Von Furstenberg 'Zarita' lace gown. The next day she stepped out in London for a Place2Be forum, an event which helps to tackle mental health within schools. In contrast to Tuesday night's appearance, Kate cut a more casual figure in a plum tunic dress by Goat Fashion.

UPCOMING ENGAGEMENTS

11 Nov 2017
Kate will join join The Queen, Prince Philip and other royals at the Festival of Remembrance at Royal Albert Hall. 

12 Nov 2017 (Unconfirmed)
The Duchess has attended every Remembrance Sunday event since joining the royal family and we expect to see her commemorating the day. No announcements are made ahead of time regarding those who will be watching the ceremony.

14 Nov 2017
The Duchess of Cambridge will visit the Hornsey Road Children's Centre to see valuable family and parental support services.

Below are my favorite repliKate finds of the week.

Forget about the little black dress, it's all about the little plum dress this season! Kate looked effortless and chic when she stepped out in the Goat 'Eloise' dress for the Place2Be forum this week. The timeless tunic dress is a versatile piece which can be styled in so many ways. It can be dressed down with comfy leggings and flats, or up with tights and boots as shown below:

Each week I like to devote a little time browsing the websites of Kate's favourite brands and designers.
Seeing Kate back in Goat Fashion this week, motivated me to take a look at the British brand's current collection. I came across these Duchess-worthy styles by the label:

Congratulations S. Lefebvre from France, you have won a copy of Claudia Joseph's How to Dress Like a Princess: The Secrets of Kate’s Wardrobe! For those of you who missed out, you can grab a copy from Amazon for US$17.46.

I will be away this weekend and unfortunately I will not be able to bring you all the updates from the Remembrance events. I will do a catch-up post when I get back. I hope you all have a lovely weekend!
