Kate Middleton in French Connection

Though I admit that I wasn’t crazy about Kate Middleton’s official portrait (I don’t think it did her justice), that doesn’t make her amazing style any less fabulous.  What makes her style legendary is that it’s simple and attainable even to those of us who aren’t exactly royalty.  So I was super excited when it was confirmed that the Duchess of Cambridge dawned the Sub Silky Tie Top by French Connection for her official royal portrait.  For the everyday girl, this is the perfect top for the office or other business casual occasion.

A Sold Out Look: Kate Middleton in Stella McCartney

About a week ago, the Duchess of Cambridge gave a nod to the 1960s in this Cobalt Blue Crepe Dress by Stella McCartney that is sadly, but not surprisingly SOLD OUT.  Stella McCartney also designed England’s Olympic Uniforms so it’s no wonder this patriotic princess chose wear something by the designer to the National Portrait Gallery celebrating 30+ newly commissioned photographic portraits of athletes and key Olympic figures.  Like everyone else, I just can’t get enough of her elegant, yet attainable style that I like to call “Basic Glam.”  I would totally wear this to work or to one of my nonexistent public appearances.  Why isn’t any retailer ever ready for The Kate Effect?
