Keeping Up With Cambridge

Well it has been another quiet week for the Duchess of Cambridge, which is wonderful for her but certainly not as enjoyable for us! We will put our selfish needs aside however, and take a look at her outings this past week, and also update you on the wedding that William and Catherine attended last Saturday. Let’s take a peek shall we?

Kate rainy day shopping

  • May 11: Too pregnant to break a sweat on the dance floor? I think not. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge let their hair down Saturday at the wedding of their close friends William Van Custem and Rosie Ruck Keene. Witnesses said that the couple had a jolly good time busting out their dance moves late into the evening. The couple have been known to love twirling about on the dance floor, and it is nice to know that even with maturity and growing responsibilities, they still know how to have fun!
  • May 12: On Sunday, William and Kate were seen lunching at The Mole & Chicken. The pub is located in Easington, which is not too far from Oxfordshire where the wedding was held the previous day. According to the website, “The 60 cover restaurant offers a blend of British and Mediterranean food using classical cooking techniques and fresh local produce.” It was reported that William had the risotto, while Kate opted for the traditional British fare of Fish and Chips. With the winning combination of delicious food and a cozy atmosphere, it looks like the perfect spot to spend a quiet Sunday afternoon.
  • May 14: Lights, fabrics, and carpets oh my! Kate was photographed shopping at the Chelsea Harbor Design Center, in search for interior decorating ideas, and various furnishings to fill her new Kensington Palace apartment. The center features showrooms from top designers in all areas of home interiors such as wallpaper, rugs, and bespoke furniture. Kate managed to look both casual and chic during her trip as she sported skinny cuffed jeans, a short black jacket from ZARA, and a pair of suede dove grey sneakers by Mint Velvet. The trip must have been successful as a bag from Turnell & Gigon was seen hanging from her arm. Draperies for the little Prince or Princess perhaps?
  • May 17: On Friday, a young man from Bath took to Twitter to announce that he just had a lovely chat with the future Queen of England! Kate was seen taking a leisurely walk with Lupo and was friendly enough to engage in a conversation about none other than….roof thatching? Yes, I said roof thatching. Not sure how the two got on this topic, but for those of you who are less familiar with the term, thatching is a method of building roofs from straw. These roofs are very common in old English cottages and are quite picturesque, wouldn’t you say?

How on earth does one behave at a garden party?

Tweet Pimm’s on the grass, strawberries and cream, floral dresses, sandwiches, and if you’re very lucky, a male specimen cooking sausages and burgers on the barbecue (BBQ not an essential requirement for this). It all sounds delightfully British and as such, our girl Kate will be accustomed to a British summer garden party (growing upContinue Reading

Wardrobe Wednesday: Classy Casual

Tweet We just LOVE older pics of Kate, living a “normal” life in London. These more casual outfits really shed light on her style. On a lazy weekend, Kate was spotted in a lovely casual outfit.

Simply Being Kind

Simply Being Kind

Tweet Kindness is one thing I have always associated with Kate.

Wardrobe Wednesday: Polka Dot Princess

Tweet Kate’s style never disappoints, as she showed us how to look Spring-chic last Friday. Her polka dot dress and black jacket was perfect for the formal outing at Warner Bros Studios in Leavesden.

Tweet We cannot believe how quickly two years has gone past.  To say that April 29, 2011 was a magical day just isn’t enough.  In our pajamas, we watched a fairytale come true right before our eyes. We laughed when the ring wouldn’t fit, we cried when they said “I will,” and we dreamed –Continue Reading
