Weekly Wrap-Up, 23rd May 2015

23/5/2015

 

NEWS

It appears that the Cambridge royal family have settled in well to their country life at Anmer Hall.

PEOPLE reports that Kate was recently spotted with Prince George at Dersingham Recreation Ground, a park near their Norfolk mansion: 

"All the local boys and girls got to play with Prince George and none of them knew anything about it," a local resident tells PEOPLE.

The US Weekly provided some insight into Kate's shopping habits. The Duchess has been frequently spotted at an organic food store near her home, Back to the Garden.
"She's buying fresh local produce. All organic. And the princess is just plain folks amongst the locals. People give her space. No one is rushing over to ask for selfies." a source tells the US Weekly.

While the Duchess works on setting a routine for her young family in their new home, there's speculation that she may be interested in joining the Women's Institute (WI).  The WI is a community-based organization founded during the first World War. It is the largest women's voluntary organisation in the UK. 

The president of the Anmer WI, Dorothy Pulsford-Harris, has had a positive response to a letter she sent the Duchess before Christmas inviting her to join.

She said: "I had a very nice letter back from her private secretary saying she was interested and may contact me later if she wanted to take it any further.

Queen Elizabeth, Princess Anne and the Countess of Wessex are all members of the WI so it seems highly likely that the Duchess would join her local WI.

REPLIKATE REVIEW

This week I was fortunate to receive two reviews for this popular LK Bennett Lasa poppy dress repliKate! Alice from Kate the Duchess of Cambrideg Italian blog and Page Edenfield from Georgia, USA both bought the dress from the same seller on eBay.
Here's what Alice has to say:

"I've finally received the Lasa Poppy Print dress replica from eBay seller doll2079 and I think is a great copy of the original LK Bennett one. I usually wear S but I chose an M size just because the seller told me it runs very small. Actually I had to tailor it because in the end it run large on me.

I've also found today a very nice clutch to accessorize the dress, a replica of the Oroton Odeion Indigo Clutch Bag. Here is the link."

Here are Page's thoughts on the dress:
Picture
"This is my new FAVORITE dress!  I ordered it from eBay and it looks and feels wonderful.  I did have to have it taken in a little in the waist but other than that it fits well and is well made.  I truly feel like a "princess" every time I wear it. 
Also, I am a true size 6 US and I ordered the medium."
