The week commenced with the much anticipated America's Cup sailing event. Unfortunately, stormy weather dampened the festivities of the day and the race had to be cancelled. However, William and Kate continued with their schedule and toured the 1851 Trust headquarters, and meet staff and families. Click to read more >

WHAT'S NEW IN KATE'S CLOSET

This week the Duchess debuted two new pieces from her closet. The fleece top was obviously a gift from the 1851 Trust in support of the Ben Ainslie Racing team. Kate added a white/black striped top to her ever growing collection of Breton tops from ME+EM! I wouldn't be surprised if the Duchess owns this style in all 5 available colour-ways!

Yesterday I came across this budget-friendly plaid scarf which reminded me of Kate's Zara cape. If you're creative, you could possibly repurpose it as a cape because it appears to be large enough. At less that $10, I think this scarf is a cost effective way to introduce Glen plaid into your Fall/Winter closet. This is also a good alternative for those of us who are petite and usually get swamped by "one-size fits-all" capes!
