style inspiration

One of my favorite people to look to for style inspiration is none other than the Duchess herself, Kate Middleton.  I was living in Alpharetta when Will and Kate got married. Hubby and I drove to Augusta the night before, and my mom and I got up bright and early (as in about 4:30 a.m.) to watch the festivities. It was awesome!

Anywho, I think the Duchess is a great example for someone who is looking for a great, classic look. With reality stars (Jersey Shore anyone?) taking over television these days, it's very refreshing to see someone dress simple and elegant. And, it's pretty easy to recreate many of her looks. Especially since most of us don't have the budget that the royal family has :)

Although HRH does wear some serious designer brands, I love how she mixes in more affordable pieces too. And one of my fave websites is this one: What Kate Wore. I don't know how they do it, but they're able to pin down (so quickly!) what designer she's wearing, all the way down to her accessories, handbags, and shoe brand. All within, like, 24 hours! They also list other brands that she tends to shop for. Needless to say, I am a fan of Kate. I love her style, and maybe I'll pop into one of her favorite shops when we're in London! Well, I could at least window shop...
