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.

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:
