Spot: Here we have the Duchess of Cambridge, aka Kate Middleton, arriving at Claridges in London yesterday, with the dapper tuxedo-wearing Prince William by her side. And I don't need to tell you she looked fantastic.. you can see for yourself here.. plus we all know she can do no wrong! Wearing a long sleeved minimalist cream gown with on-trend split, she accessorized with just the right amount of sparkle, in Jimmy Choo Vamp Glitter sandals that you can buy online.

Spot: Kate Middleton continues to support the high street on her official engagements, as she celebrated the Diamond Jubilee tour in Leicester  with Queen Elizabeth. They were a contrast in colours - the Duchess of Cambridge was in a teal suit, and the Queen was in a Gorgas bright pink, and my goodness, what a breath of fresh hair these photos are.. poised, elegant, classy (I don't like using that word, but it does apply here). And it also goes to show you don't need next season's runway outfits to look chic and stylish - Kate is wearing a neat dress and jacket from L.K. Bennett.. the Jude jacket and

Shopping Spot: Buy ALICE by Temperley white & blue embroidered blouse online as seen on Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge at the 99th annual Calgary Stampede parade in Canada.

This dynamite embroidered blouse totally takes me back to last July, when Kate Middleton and Prince William enjoyed their two week royal tour of North America. We watched everything she wore, and while some of the items you could buy online at the time, there are still bits & pieces to be had, even now!

Kate (or Catherine, as she is known in her official capacity) dressed impeccably for every event, even for a visit to a parade to kick off the Calgary Stampede! The royal duo both donned matching white stetsons, and Kate managed to combine a British label and a rodeo in this

Shopping Spot: Buy Issa red silk jersey dress online as seen on Kate Middleton as she posed for photographs in the State Apartments of St James Palace on November 16, 2010.

I don't have to ask anyone if they remember the "blue dress seen 'round the world' last year... remember when Kate Middleton & Prince William announced their engagement last year? Kate wore that gorgeous blue jersey dress by Issa.. and in one instant, it was sold out.

This is a fabulous update on the dress - Issa has brought it back for the new season, and while we loved Kate's blue version, THIS pop of bright colour is something else! I'm pleased to share the poppy-red Royal Engagement dress (as it is now known!), has arrived online at Net-A-Porter.. and as I write this all sizes are available!

UPDATE: The dress is now ON SALE!

Shopping Spot: Buy Ralph Lauren Blue Label olive long-sleeved cashmere and wool dress online as seen on Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.

Kate Middleton, or Catherine Duchess of Cambridge as we should now call her (!), made an elegant and very appropriate appearance at a visit to the homeless charity Centrepoint in Camberwell today.. and might I add (from comments I have already seen), there is no official dress code when it comes to these charity events. It's a sign of respect to dress up, but she is also not going to flaunt her royal status! I think she looks lovely.. she wore a long-sleeved turtleneck dress from Ralph Lauren's Blue Label.

And yes,

Shopping Spot: Buy Erdem navy blue lace dress online as seen on Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge at the Official Welcome Ceremony to Canada at Government House Rideau Hall during the Royal Tour 2011.

Awww, what a lovely treat we have here today! I was poking around to see the latest new arrivals online and happened to spot the blue lace dress seen 'round the world... I don't have to tell you this is Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (aka Kate Middleton), and this was her first appearance on North American soil back on June 30th. Herself and Prince Williams were in Ottawa, attending the Official Welcome Ceremony on their first stop of the North American Royal Tour.

At the time, it was widely believed that Kate was wearing a Canadian designer - and while Erdem
