Kate sparkles Like Mulled Wine at Sandringham
We have been hearing stories about Kate Middleton’s five outfits on Christmas Day, and at Sandringham Church we were treated to a good look at one of them. Kate chose a gorgeous berry shaded frock-coat that has been described as being designed by an independent British Designer, but which reminds me of a Katherine Hooker style that Kate has worn previously. Collarless and belted, this longer length coat looked supremely elegant when compared to the rather short styles some of the Royal ladies chose to wear to church. Kate teamed it with a jaunty hat from Milliner Jane Corbett. This kept the outfit looking young and fun, whilst opaque style…

Kate wears Ralph Lauren to visit Centrepoint.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited Centrepoint yesterday, and the informal visit showed that like her sister Pippa, Kate is rather partial to a polo necked dress. The dress was by Ralph Lauren, and was from the Blue Label Collection. A wool/cashmere mix, this dress had featured on Fashion-Mommy in November when it was shown in a post about Pippa’s blue polo neck dress. The dress is currently reduced at FarFetched.com, selling for £219, and is still available in sizes XS, S and L. The dress is also available from the Ralph Lauren Website for the bargain price of $159. However, Kate’s colour way is out of stock, and…

Kate at the Millies..So stunning in McQueen
I love velvet at Christmas, every year I dig out a vintage black velvet Laura Ashley skirt to wear over the festive season. It just seems the perfect fabric to wear at this time of year – luxurious, expensive and a little bit baroque. So I was overjoyed tonight to see the Duchess of Cambridge chose a black velvet Alexander McQueen gown for The Military Awards. This is definitely amongst my favourite Kate looks ever. The exquisite gown was strapless, with a fantail style hemline, and had a feel of Lady Diana Spencer at Goldsmith Hall in 1981 to it. Diana was criticised on that occasion for showing too much…

Get Kate-tastic Inspiration from Dorothy Perkins
I just adore the Duchess of Cambridge’s personal style. I don’t really care that Alexa Chung beat her to British Style Icon at the Fashion awards, or that Vivienne Westwood isn’t that impressed with her choices, I think she is an immaculate style inspiration who understands that fine art of dressing like a lady. Kate watchers amongst you can’t help but notice that Kate is also proving a style information for the High Street too. Ladylike dresses with neat clean lines are everywhere, and non more so than at Dorothy Perkins. Just look at some of the Duchess inspired dresses I found whilst trawling their website. Then pop along yourself…

She’s golden and she’s green…
Golden Green..title of one of my favourite songs (by The Wonderstuff if you’re wondering…) and also one of my favourite colours. Green is probably the most versatile colours around. Think about it..perfect at Christmas time, where you will colour co-ordinate the tree perfectly. Great in pale and citrus shades in the Summer, and set to be a massive colour in S/S 2012. Bottle green is great for Autumn, and then there are the fantastic jewel shades of jade and teal that look amazing as evening wear and daywear. Next have some amazing pieces from their latest collection in all shades of green. From fabulous dresses to great peg leg trousers,…
