EASTER OUTFIT INSPIRATION

Easter is nearly here so I thought I'd put together a couple Duchess-inspired outfits for the holiday!  For the first outfit I took inspiration from Kate's love of polka dot frocks to create an ensemble fit for an Easter Sunday church service.  The pink spotted a-line dress by Hobbs works well for both northern and southern hemisphere climates when teamed with black cropped jacket and suede accessories. Kate's Links of London 'Hope Egg' earrings are an apt choice for the Christian celebration!

NEWS

A lot has happened on the Kate-front since the last Wrap-Up on 4th March.  The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge undertook their much-anticipated visit to Paris last weekend. As expected, there was a fair share of sartorial diplomacy on Kate's part as she blended the best of both British and French fashion.

I will be away from Wednesday to Sunday (8tth - 12 March) so unfortunately I will not have time to produce this week's Wrap-Up.

Also, I will not have time to produce next week's newsletter because I will be busy blogging about the the Duke & Duchess' two-day royal tour of Paris which will commence on Friday 17th March!

MIX & MATCH

Kate's outfits are impeccable but can sometimes need a little tweaking for us "normal folk" to adapt for daily wear.   In this occasional segment, I show how you can create everyday repliKate outfits by mixing and matching key pieces with your wardrobe essentials! 

St. Patricks Day is just around the corner and unfortunately the Duchess will miss this year's traditional parade (boo) because she will be in on an official visit to Paris (yay!). 
Picture
After coming across this cute pine hued dress by Hobbs London (which I can see Kate wearing), it inspired the outfit collage below. It offers a modest approach to the Duchess' ceremonial-style St Patrick's Day outfits.
