Kate & Pippa at Wimbledon.

Yesterday Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge and her sister Pippa Middleton attended the Wimbledon finals.  The two sat in the Royal box with their parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, and David and Victoria Beckham. 

The Duchess wore the same off-white Joseph 'Venessa' dress she wore last summer on her visit to North America.  This time pairing it with a matching off-white Joseph 'Nessie' tweed jacket.  The jacket was previous worn by the Duchess to the Epsom Derby in 2011.

Kate accessorized with a few familiar pieces.  Her leopard clutch is by Diane Von Furstenburg (similar) and was previous seen on her trip to LA last summer.  The Duchess also wore two necklaces by Links of London, black Givenchy Obsedia sunglasses and Kiki Citrine Drop Earrings.

Pippa Middleton wore the Phoebe Blue Bird peplum dress from Project D.

Kate wears white for Garter Day.

Once again Kate Middleton and the entire Royal Family looked fabulous for Garter Day 2012.  She joined her stepmother-in-law Camilla and Prince Edward's wife Sophie to watch the ceremony in the grounds of Windsor Castle.

HRH Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge wore a Reiss dress and an Alexander McQueen cotton and wool-blend pique coat.

She paired the dress and coat with a L.K. Bennett Natalie Natural box clutch and Sledge Pumps.

Doesn't Her Majesty look adorable with Prince Phillip?

I love Kate's hair in this photo! Adorable!

Kate's hat is by Jane Corbett.

royal wellies.

Who knew HRH Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge could make wellies look so fashionable? 

Over the weekend the Duchess went on a charity camping trip.  HRH was accompanied eight and nine-year-old children – who were taking part in ARK Schools’ Expanding Horizons program.  The children spent three days taking part in a variety of outdoor challenges, including building shelters, cooking and obstacle courses at the 26-acre site in Wrotham.  The group was joined by HRH Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge on Sunday for fun and s'mores.

Kate always puts together great pieces and does a great job of reusing old pieces in new ways!

I am just in love with Kate's hair! I wish mine could look this good all the time.

Kate looks great in grey.

Over the weekend Prince William and Prince Harry's cousin (on Diana's side), Lady Emily McCorquodale, wed James Hunt.  Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, was also in attendance.  The wedding took place in a beautiful church in Lincolnshire.

Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge wore a few old favorites from her wardrobe.  I love when she recycles her wardrobe... after all, almost everything she wears is fabulous! 

You may recognize her bronze pill box hat from last years Epsom Derby.

She re-wore one of my favorite (Kate) dresses, that she wore last year when she visited North America.  It is a Jenny Packham grey floral silk dress.  Kate paired the dress with the grey Katherine Hooker coat dress that she wore to last year’s Order of the Garter ceremony.  Kate's ensemble was completed by a pair of nude L.K. Bennett pumps and Hobbs Somerton Clutch.

I love Kate's pairing of her old pieces to make an entirely new look.

Diamond Jubilee Carriage Ride

 

The Royal Family has had a very busy few days.  After partying the night away at a concert fit for the Queen, the Royal Family spent Tuesday morning at a church service followed by lunch and a carriage ride to Buckingham Palace.

Princess Catherine chose to wear an Alexander McQueen dress for the Diamond Jubilee church service and luncheon.  She paired the dress with a Jane Taylor beaded cocktail hat.

I wish I could pull off the glamorous hats that Princess Catherine wears.

Prince Harry and Prince William did not wear military uniforms since this was a civil church service.  Don't they look great in their top hats?

rock & royalty.

 Concert for the Queen

 

Monday night the Royal Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II was celebrated with a star-studded concert.  Performers spanned from Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber to Will.i.am.  I was a little surprised at the selection of performers, I know some of the outfits must have caused the Queen to raise an eyebrow... I'm sure some of them were a bit racy!  But, I know the royal family is trying to keep up with the times, so I'm sure they wanted to choose some "hip" new musicians.

The entire royal family was in attendance, except for Prince Phillip who, unfortunately, was in hospital with a bladder infection.  Prince Philip was greatly missed by his wife, HRH Queen Elizabeth II, and his children and grandchildren.  His son, Prince Charles mentioned this father's absence and the crowded attended to cheer loud enough for Prince Philip to hear them in hospital.

Princess Catherine, Prince William & Prince Harry enjoyed the Diamond Jubilee concert on Monday night in London, England.

I love seeing the younger royals having such a fun time at the concert.

Princess Catherine's hair looks wonderful (as usual!) and I love her choice of a blue dress.

Prince William & Prince Harry look like they had a blast at the concert honoring their grandmother.

Here is a better view of Princess Catherine's blue dress at the concert
