The Duchess of Cambridge, in her new role as Patron of Wimbledon kick-started The Championships on Monday. She was easy to spot on the grounds of the The All England Club in a white and black polka dot dress by Dolce & Gabbana. She also debuted a pair of black ankle strap block heel sandals by the chain store, Office.
Kensington Palace released further details for The Duke and Duchess's official visit to Poland and Germany between the 17th and 21st of July. The Palace also made a surprise announcement that William and Kate will take their children on the tour! It's likely George and Charlotte will just be seen on arrival and departure in each country. You can read the full itinerary at royal.uk.

NEXT WEEK'S ENGAGEMENT(S)
13 Jul 2017 The Duchess, Patron of NHM London, will open the new Hintze Hall featuring the new star display – a diving blue whale skeleton. REPLIKATE ROUNDUP
Below are my favourite repliKates of the week:
MIX & MATCH
Kate's outfits are impeccable but can sometimes need a little tweaking for us "normal folk" to adapt for daily wear. In this occasional segment, I show how you can create everyday repliKate outfits by mixing and matching key pieces with your wardrobe essentials!
Kate's polka dot dress by D&G was a big hit with repliKaters this week. Hobbs London offers a lovely alternative which I think would be perfect for the office. Here's how I would style it for a 9-to-5 look.
There are so many ways to incorporate polka dots into your closet. If you find the all-over polka dot print a little busy and loud on a dress, perhaps confine it to a scarf, bag or shoes instead!
SAVVY SALES

BRAND BROWSING
Each week I like to devote a little time browsing the websites of Kate's favourite brands and designers.
When I saw Kate back in Dolce & Gabbana, it motivated me to take a look at the current offerings from the Italian luxury brand. I came across these Duchess-worthy styles: JUST FOR FUN

Hi! Just a note to let you know that although Petit Bateau is calling that shirt "reissued," that is misleading and it is actually very different in person (much more Navy). They took mine back and refunded me with no issues but I wanted other replikaters to be aware of it. Someone posted a side-by-side comparison of the two shirts, I think on the WKW fb page.

The exact thing happened to me with the Petit Bateau shirt, the main site didn't change the description. When the package arrived I had a Navy shirt with red stripes. I thought maybe I was off but, my I noticed and yes it's a bit OCD of me but on the pocket the amount of stripes.

Alison I'm sorry it happened to you too! What's so frustrating is that many Kate sites continue to post links calling it "reissued" when in reality it is a completely different shirt.
