The countdown is on ... there are only 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 decided to dedicate this year's final newsletter to Christmas!

Struggling to find something special to wear during the Holiday Season? Here are some outfit ideas inspired by the Duchess of Cambridge.

On Christmas Day 2013, Kate wore a simple ivory coat and added a wrap scarf in seasonal colours.  A shawl is a simple way to add a festive touch and make an outfit look refined and elegant.

 SHOP: Coat (£129)| Wrap Scarf (US$12) | Earrings (US $29.99) | Boots  (£63.80)| Clutch (£10.49) | Gloves (US$10.50)

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 and add some statement jewellery for a bit of glitz and glamour.

SHOP: Dress (US$72)| Earrings (US$97.50)| Bracelet (US$79)| Clutch (£35)| Shoes (£25)

I've curated a list of Christmas gift ideas for any royal-lover, inspired by 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.  I will recommence the weekly wrap-ups in February 2016. In the meantime, 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!
