KATE UPDATE

Let's check in on Princess Catherine...I haven't mentioned her in awhile.

She's staying totally on trend in these adorable tangerine skinnies {pastel anyone?} that she repeated while gearing up for the 2012 London Olympics:

While on official royal business to The Prince's Foundation for Children, she sported this accordion pleat dress.  Very chic!

Can't wait to see what she wears to the Olympics -Sarah

RECYCLE PRINCESS

If you don't religiously follow Princess Kate's outfit choices, you probably haven't noticed.  She.  Repeats.  Outfits.  I LOVE IT!  Who hasn't felt the stress to buy a new dress for every single wedding or party?  I love how the Duchess of Cambridge is setting an example that it is okay to wear something twice, thrice, or even more.  

Jeans by J Brand worn on many occasions of the North American Tour, also note the repeated loafers (middle and right).

This dress was first seen in 2007 (four years ago!) out clubbing with Pippa (left) and then again this June to a wedding (right).

This blue Zara dress was worn to Prince Phillip's 90th birthday (left) and leaving Buckingham Palace one and a half months earlier (middle).  She had also worn the coat to a wedding in 2009 (right)!  In the middle are the often seen wedges that I referenced here.

This suit was worn on a visit to Whitton Park (left) and for the official portrait of the North American tour (right).  (Will also repeated a tie!)


Perhaps we should all take a note from Princess Catherine and invest in classic items that will last for years... *note - all pictures were taken from The Cut's Look Book

THE MIDDLETONS

As many other Americans, I am now obsessed with Kate and Pippa (yes, we're on a first name basis).  So here's a little update on some of the Middleton Sister news.

Last Saturday, Pippa completed a duathlon (30 mile bike and 20 mile run) in a little over 5 hours.  This explains her bangin' bod from the wedding.  

*note:  not long after the wedding she also completed a triathlon

**note 2:  i have that shirt in two other colors.  yesssss.

For anyone interested in seeing all of Kate's slightly bland but amazingly classic and adoringly easy looks, head over to The Cut Blog and check out her look book.  You might notice her black wedge heels that she wears all the time (i.e. day before and day after the wedding) pictured above.  Well, excitingly, I just snagged myself a look-a-like pair from Nine West - on sale too!  

*don't forget to use ebates when buying from Nine West (I got $1.66 back)

Alice Temperley recently disappointed the masses when she announced that Pippa's maid of honor reception dress would be one of a kind and not reproduced for retail.  Well, fear not Pippa-wannabes.  Vera Wang's new bridesmaid collection for David's Bridal was released this week and I spy with my little blue eye a cousin to Pippa's green gem.

Cheerio - sarah
