The ever recycling Duchess of Cambridge
As an avid Duchess of Cambridge watcher, I am totally obsessed with her wardrobe. But more and more lately, I am having instances of deja vu, as Kate recycles her outfits over and over again. And I have been struck by a thought. This recycling is not just about Kate being frugal, or making that wardrobe earn its keep. This is also about everyone knowing that Kate is thrifty, everyone recognising that in this time of economic hardship, the Duchess is trying hard not to flaunt her extravagance.

Kate’s beautiful dress was from Emilia Wickstead, well-known for designing many aristocratic wedding dresses. In a very soft powder pink shade, this showed that the trend for…

Kate looks so beautiful in teal Jenny Packham
Ok – I admit it, this may be my favourite Duchess of Cambridge look ever. I said in a post I published about Jenny Packham yesterday that I felt she had been responsible for Kate’s most successful evening look ever, the shimmering pink dress that the Duchess had worn to the Ark event last June, but I actually think, for sheer beauty, this teal dream of a dress beats it. Kate and Wills were attending a concert at the Royal Albert Hall to celebrate the UK Olympic team, and I don’t think she could’ve chosen a more perfect, and on trend dress. This lace and chiffon confection had a classical…

A favourite of celebrities like Angelina Jolie,Kiera Knightley, and the Duchess of Cambridge of course, Jenny is at the forefront of a move to bring glamour and beauty back to fashion.
