This week was a pinnacle for royal watchers! On 2nd May 2015 the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to a healthy baby girl!

The next day, the Cambridge's packed their bags and headed out of London to retreat to their country home, Anmer Hall. The family are expected to base themselves at their refurbished Georgian home in Norfolk over the coming years, where they intend to raise their children with as much privacy as possible.

REPLIKATE REVIEW

Tam Tho bought this repliKate of the Ralph Lauren peplum jacket from White House Black Market and shared her thoughts on the blazer:

"I’ve been waiting for a perfect replicate jacket and when I saw this jacket from Kate’s Closet 25th April weekly newsletter I ordered it right away with my WHBM coupon. This is a great seasonless ¾ sleeves jacket to wear in spring/summer or even early fall. The princess-seamed hugs to the waist nicely (62% polyester, 32% rayon, 6% spandex). I like a bit more length in a peplum style so I ordered regular size, true to size chart. You can close with the 3 hook eye closure only."
