Duchess For A Day

Give it up for Kristen Larson, who feeds our obsession with the royals by handing out some tips on dressing like style maven Kate Middleton.

For a while now, I have had quite the girl crush on Duchess Catherine/Kate Middleton. I love her outfits, and would love to have the coat dresses she owns. But while I wait for one that I can afford here are some ways that you too can look like the fashion forward Kate.

You can get this look with our peplum dresses either El Capitan or Pineapple Princess, by just adding a belt and matching heels.

This look can be accomplished with a simple necklice and our little black dress, The Movies.

I never thought I could accomplish this look, but Kate makes me feel bold enough to try it. A similar skirt can be found with Co-Ed Skirt, our nautical navy blue and brass button skirt.

Finally, I love this happy spring look from her North America tour last summer. our button down shirt dress will do the trick, Pina Colada comes in four different colors/patterns, and will certainly have the same effect as the Duchess.
