REPLIKATE ROUNDUP Below are my favourite repliKates of the week ... REPLIKATE REVIEW A few weeks back, Melanie asked if I knew of any wide-calf repliKates for the Aquatalia 'Rhumba' boots. I suggested the 'Camilla' leather heeled boot from Lane Bryant and she took the plunge and bought them! The first pair she received from the company were slightly damaged but they quickly sent out a new pair and Melanie loves them! She says they are "true to size, gorgeous, comfortable and I believe would transition from work to play easily". FASHION UPDATES Each week I like to devote a little time browsing the websites of Kate's favourite brands and designers. This week the new arrivals of MaxMara at House of Fraser caught my eye. I came across these Duchess-worthy styles: Which one of these can you see Kate adding to her closet? COLLAGES BY KATIE I have teamed up with Katie from one of my favourite Duchess-inspired Instagram accounts @KateMidleton. The account is filled with fun facts and intriguing information, but what I particularly love are Katie's collages. She creates an informative series of collages related to Catherine's sartorial choices. I have teamed up with Katie to reproduce the collages, and each week I'll be sharing one in the newsletter. This week we take a peek inside Kate's makeup bag! As many of you know, Kate is a big fan of Bobbi Brown products, using mostly their products for her wedding day. However she has been seen out and about in stores buying products since her wedding day giving us a little glimpse into the brands and products she goes for. She is known to wear Bobbi Brown's Long-Wear Even Finish Foundation, the Bobbi Brown Sandwashed Pink Lipstick with a layer of pale pink lip gloss, and their Dark Brow Kit and brown eyeshadow in Saddle, Slate and Rock Star. She loves Lancôme products when it comes to her signature eye look, using Hypnose mascara, Le Crayon eyeliner. Other products she has bought are Yves Saint Laurent Touché Éclat, Karen Herzog Switzerland Vit-a-Kombi I, Deborah Mitchell's Heaven Bee Venom mask, Kérastase Bain Satin and Masquintense, Nivea Visage Pure and Natural, and Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer. I always love hearing from fellow repliKaters, so if you would like to submit a review of your recent repliKate purchase or showcase your repliKate outfit/closet, please drop me a line at

I bought the boots from Lane Bryant over a year ago, and I LOVE them! They are perfect for work and play. Comments are closed.
