REPLIKATE ROUNDUPBelow are my favourite repliKate finds of the week ...
---------- ST PATRICKS DAY OUTFIT INSPIRATION We still don't know if the Duchess will attend the traditional St Patrick's Day parade, but one thing is for certain, Kate always makes a sartorial nod to the holiday.  After coming across this cute flippy green dress, it inspired this collage with a twist on Kate's St Patrick's Day outfits.  SHOP: Green Crystal Earrings | Shamrock Brooch | Green Shirt Dress | Pillbox Hat | Suede Clutch | Suede Platform Pumps REPLIKATE REVIEWA few repliKaters have shared reviews of the H&M stripe top (US$17.95) - an excellent substitute for Kate's Ralph Lauren 'Tori' Breton top.  Lacresha wearing the H&M stripe top The consensus is; the material is a little thin but offers enough coverage. It's probably best to wash it in a laundry bag to minimise wear. It's comfortable with a great fit. For the price it's well worth it and the buttons at the shoulder are a nice touch. If you would like to submit a review of your recent repliKate purchase, please send an email to admin@katescloset.com.au. Please include a short review about the quality and fit, the product link, and photos (optional but recommended). PRODUCT REVIEWJill Piers from Canada but was recently in Florida where she was lucky enough to find a pair of the J Brand 811 Navy jeans at Nordstrom Rack in Tampa for $80!  Here is what Jill has to say about them: "They are beautiful!!!! I tried them on and while they fit snug in the legs and hips (what I was looking for) the waist is very comfortable. They are incredibly soft and have enough stretch to make them very comfortable to wear. I can understand why Catherine wears them as much as she does. These have quickly become my favourite jeans!! However, they are such a dark wash...almost navy....the dye does come off on your hands, if you're not careful....I would recommend washing them separately the first couple of times......I just got them so haven't washed yet." ---------- A fellow replikater wanted to share her review of the Aquatalia 'Rhumba' boots she bought on sale from Nordstrom.  These boots are so lovely and go with so many outfits. So happy I got them on sale and this is my investment. I prefer quality over quantity. They are also comfortable and I can wear them for 4 hours with no pain even I don’t have large calf muscles. They really are weather proofed—stepped these boots in couple inches of snow on the and the suede stays very nice after getting wet from the snow. I usually wipe them off after I get home. Also, I'm normally a size 5.5 to 6 and 6 is perfect for me. I would highly recommend these boots. They are very attractive. If you've been lucky enough to snag a genuine aso Kate item and would like to brag or leave a review, please send me an email at admin@katescloset.com.au SAVVY SALESKate Spade has a fabulous repliKate of the Tod's D-Styling bag and it's now 40% off at Nordstrom!  I hope you all get some R&R this weekend in preparation for the busy week ahead of Kate watching! Oh what fun it will be!

Hey there! Great newsletter, it the first time I have read one your emails. There is so much information! What made me read this one is the St Patricks Day outfit. I actually bought that particular pillbox hat last year and wasnt very happy with it. It is clearly marketed at people wanting a hat like Kate's hat but the actual hat is not shaped to be worn with the bow on the side of the head. The hat fits perfectly with the bow at the back but the elastic that you'd use to secure the hat is attached as if that hat slis used with the bow on the side. Has this made sense??!! If you look closely at one of the photo on the ebay listing you can see how the hat is shaped with the elastic attached.
