The Life & Style of Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge
After a recent work visit to Tokyo, I thought it would be fun to write about the city from the Duchess of Cambridge’s perspective – or least, from someone who might like to shop like her while visiting! Japan is a ripe place for Kate to visit (William has already been by himself during their marriage, when Kate was pregnant),… Read More
Following the Duchess of Cmbridge’s whirlwind tour of Canada, much of the discussion has been about the new designers that Kate picked up to wear along the way. But possibly the most fascinating story belongs to Shelley MacDonald, a young jewellery maker whose shop was located in Carcoss, where the Duke and Duchess visited on the fifth day of their… Read More
If you want to visit one of London’s most prestigious shopping areas, you’ll need to hustle down to Bond Street – perhaps the best place in the capital for designer shopping. Chanel, Dior, Hermes, Louis Vuitton… if it’s a luxury brand worth its salt, it’ll have premises somewhere along Bond Street. But in actual fact, Bond Street doesn’t really exist… Read More
King’s Road is one of London’s most notorious stomping grounds for fashionistas, celebs and royalty – a mecca for the well-heeled Chelsea girl, it’s patrolled constantly by a stream of well-groomed, glossy haired, designer-bag-toting women; amongst them Kate and Pippa Middleton. It’s home to the Blue Bird Cafe, a restaurant that Kate and her family have often visited, and one… Read More
Marylebone isn’t the first place you think of when you want to shop like Kate in London, and as far as we know, she’s never been spotted there. But as far as out of the way shopping spots go, this is easy to get to but still feels very removed from the hustle and bustle of places like Oxford Circus… Read More

Kensington High Street is home to many of the Duchess’s favourite brands, and it seems fairly likely that it’s here that the Duchess does quite a lot of her shopping – maybe even… Read More
Cast your memory back to October, when we spent the day shopping like Kate in Sloane Square, home of the Sloane Rangers and stomping ground of the Chelsea set. Not as well known, but well worth a visit, is Duke of York Square, an upmarket pedestrian shopping area just off Sloane Square – the perfect way to extend your visit… Read More
There’s so much packed into central London that you’d never be able to visit all of Kate’s favourite shopping haunts in one day, but if you’re ever visiting Fortnum & Mason (and as we all know, it’s well worth a visit!), there’s a great Kate-related spot just across the road! The Burlington Arcade is a covered shopping area that Kate… Read More
Harrods is a London institution, and although it’s highly unlikely that any members of the Royal family would be visiting in the near future*, there’s no doubt that a trip to Harrods during the festive season is on most shopaholics’ must-do list! * due to the highly publicised falling out between the Windsors and the Al-Fayeds following the death of… Read More
