Kate and Pippa show off their demure evening looks.
This week we have been treated to sightings of both Middleton sister’s wearing evening attire. And it seems that long-sleeved and demure are the buzzwords when it comes to the looks they have both chosen to adopt. Ladylike and glamorous would definitely apply to both dresses, heralding a new era of grown-up evening style. Kate attended the 100 women in hedge funds black tie gala wearing a beautiful, vibrant red jersey dress with chiffon sleeves by London Label Beulah. The dress, named ‘Sarai’. was another astute choice by Kate, for the Beulah label was started by Lady Natasha Rufus Isaacs to provide work for victims of human trafficking in India.…

Duchess of Cambridge is elegant in Amanda Wakeley
The Duchess of Cambridge made a welcome return to the public stage todaywhen she and Prince William made a visit to the Royal Marsden hospital where they opened a new children’s cancer unit. Kate was wearing a designer who seems to have become a royal favourite, Amanda Wakeley, and looked as elegant as ever in an oatmeal long-sleeved shift dress, described as ‘sculpted felt’. She wore this with her favourite LK Bennett nude court shoes and with her hair soft and flowing. I know the fashionista press may again have problems with this look, but Kate was spending time with parents and children who were going to be using…

Duchess of Cambridge – Still a Topshop Girl at heart
Got to be one of the nicest fashion stories of today. The What Kate Wore blogger who stood in the queue at Topshop (Kensington High Street branch I think!) and realised that the beautiful, long-haired brunette standing next to her didn’t merely resemble the former Miss Middleton, but was actually KATE. Standing so close she could actually see her purse full of points rewards cards (just love this point – keep picturing Kate with a Nectar card!), the clever blogger made a mental note of what Kate bought and then shared it with the Kate-loving blogosphere. And here is the little list. Kate tapped into the neat, tailored 1940s trend…

A rare sighting of the lesser spotted Duchess of Cambridge
There was a rare sighting of the Duchess of Cambridge this weekend, as she attended…you’ve guessed it…yet another society wedding. Kate was attending the wedding of Harriet Colthurst and Thomas Sutton, and looked beautiful wearing a raspberry coloured lace dress by Collette Dinnigan with Prada heels. At first I thought the dress may have been another Erdum design, as it was similar in style to the navy lace dress that she wore when she touched down in Canada. I love Kate in this shade, it seriously enhances her colouring and highlights her brunette locks. Collette Dinnigan was an interesting choice, as she is South African born and Australian based, so,…

BHS captures the Middleton Look.
No longer seen as the shop where you could buy a sensible sweater for your maiden aunt, BHS has unveiled a truly stylish collection for Autumn and Winter. And it seems as if the inspiration has come from two very special sisters. Yes, there is definitely a hint of Middleton about this collection! From some seriously stylish wrap dresses, officially one of the hottest styles for the new season according to the Bible that is Grazia, to a red coat that echoes Kate’s love of the vibrant colour, to pretty pussycat bow blouses and dresses that owe more than a passing glance to a certain Stella McCartney dress worn by…
