FASHION UPDATES

It's been surprising to see Kate wear two pieces from Dolce & Gabbana in the space of only a few weeks. So I wanted to take a peek at what else the Italian design house has to offer. I came across these Duchess-worthy styles:

----------

Want a free pair of earrings from Links of London!?  They are giving away a pair of the Hope diamond pave earrings when your spend over £275. You may recall that Kate owns a pair of their Hope Egg Sterling Silver & White Topaz Earrings.

----------

Back in February the Duchess helped launch the Emma Bridgewater pottery range for East Anglia's Children’s Hospices (EACH). Emma Bridgewater has now expanded the EACH range and added these adorable jute tote bags to the collection. For each bag sold, they'll donate 10% to the charity.
