NEWS
There was no sign of Kate this week, but Kensington Palace did announce that the Duchess will return to royal duties next week, on Friday 18 June. The Duchess of Cambridge, Patron of 1851 Trust will attend the charity's final Land Rover BAR Roadshow in London.
The next day, the Cambridge family are expected to make an appearance at Trooping the Colour.
REPLIKATE ROUNDUP
Below are my favourite repliKate finds of the week ...
IF I WERE KATE'S STYLIST
I'm sure many of you would agree that having the role of Kate's stylist would be the best job in the world! Seriously, how much fun would it be to help Kate shop and experiment with new looks! In this occasional segment, I showcase my daydream outfits for the Duchess.
Kate's upcoming visit to the Land Rover BAR Roadshow will be a perfect opportunity for her to wear the recently released ME+EM "America's Cup" Iconic Breton Top. ME+EM have collaborated with Land Rover BAR and created a bespoke collection for their female support team, including this Iconic Breton Top. I would love to see Kate coordinate it with a vibrant red pant, and enhance the nautical theme with a pair of knot earrings.

On a final note, I want to wish the Duke of Edinburgh a very Happy 96th Birthday!

Kate took the week off from royal duties but we did get a new family photo showing the Cambridges in a casual setting on the grounds of Buckingham Palace. The image was taken in April by Norman Jean Roy and appeared in this month's British GQ magazine as part of a feature of Prince William and his involvement with mental health. Click to read more >
REPLIKATE ROUNDUP
Below are my favourite repliKate finds of the week:
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!
Last week I came across this fabulous fit-and-flare frock from Land's End and I thought it made a lovely a-line alternative for Kate's Jaeger contrast waist dress. I've taken a smart-casual approach to styling the dress and added yellow for a pop of colour and summer-time freshness.
FASHION UPDATES
The Pied a Terre shoe brand was dissolved by its parent company Dune London a few years ago, but it's pleasing to see that Dune continues to manufacturer similar styles to the 'Imperia' wedge. This season, Dune released an excellent repliKate of the Imperia called 'Kanvas'.
