Coral Color Pop and Rosy Cheeks

               Yesterday the Duchess totally stole my Easter outfit.  Almost head to toe. Unfortunately the Target coat that I have in coral is no longer available but never fear- I have what you all seek!

In her ears she was wearing her trusty Annoushka pearl drops on her Kiki McDonough hoops.

I currently have several final pairs of these RepliKate earrings available in silver.  Check out my Etsy.com shop to check them out.

I am sure the piece you all love the most is the jacket.  Zara recently had a great RepliKate which is no longer available online but I saw several on eBay if you want to check on listing out here.

I found the following jacket from YesStyle.com which always offers great RepliKates.

YesStyle

Here is a pair of pictures that give a better view of the detailing on the jacket.

Yes Style

I am loving the architectural detail on this coat and is a dead ringer for the Apricot color of the Duchess' coat.  Listed at $118 with a free shipping deal to the USA going on now.  If this is what you are looking for the I-DOU "Mandarin Collar Coat" can be purchased here.

I am LOVING all things nude, peach and pink this year so it is no surprise that as soon as I saw Catherine I knew exactly what pieces to RepliKate this look.  This dress from Target is great on and is the perfect color to coordinate with the apricot colored coat.

Target

The "Women's Modern Pleated Ponte Dress" can be purchased for $24.88 in Peach Lily from Target.com.  I wear this dress ALL the time to work and church- it is definitely worth a try.

We have a new tube clutch in a darker beige and honestly couldn't find anything I really loved stateside but this clutch may be from the UK the price and shipping are not cost restrictive so I may just go for it.

eBay

This "Retro Nude Patent Leather Evening Clutch" is $15.48 with today's conversion rate and $4.63 for shipping and can be purchased here.  Not to shabby for a pretty great looking bag if I don't say so myself.

We may be beating the "Sledge" RepliKate horse dead by now but I love this pair of shoes from Ivanka Trump.

Piperlime.com

The "Pinkish" pump in Light Beige Patent can be purchased for $125.00 here.

I have been pretty on the fence/not loving the recent choice that Catherine had been making but today I was 100% on board. The color choices, the neckline, the blush, the hair, the hemline.  All of it. Dying.  So glad that spring is here!  What did you all think?

Till next time- happy shopping!

Tartan and Red Coats in Scotland

               I maybe forgot that I had found all of the items for the look that Catherine wore on Day 2 of her mini-trip to Scotland a few weeks ago.  It may finally warming up but I would hate to withhold items you may be looking for- so here goes.

The lovely Duchess accessorized her Armani coat with items that we have seen before.  So to not sound like a broken record here are fresh look at her accessories.

We start with her Kiki McDonough green amethyst oval drop earrings.  Another name for this stone is green Beryl or Prasiolite- this might help you in your own search if this aren't what you are looking for.

This pair of earrings below features a checkerboard rectangular cut Prasiolite stone in a diamond accent setting.

JTV.com

Here is a photo to give you a better idea of the scale of the earrings.

JTV.com

With an impressive 5.80 total carat weight in Prasiolite these are a substantial pair of earrings for those of you who don't love the oval shape of Catherine's earrings are want something in a silver-tone setting.

These earrings can be purchased for $59.99 from JTV.com.

Tied around her neck is a Strathearn #2 (Modern Colours) Tartan scarf that is made out of silk (but can be ordered in many items from ScotWeb.co.uk).

Scot Web

We have seen this scarf folded up several times before this was out first chance to see it in "action."

This "Artisan Hand-Woven Spun Silk Long Scarf" can be purchased for $315.00 from ScotWeb.co.uk.

She finished the look off with her as of yet unidentified black suede clutch with grosgrain ribbon bow detailing.

ClutchMeKate

The "Strathearn Clutch - Grosgrain Ribbon Bow on Black Faux Suede" includes a donation to EACH with it's purchase from ClutchMeKate's Etsy.com storefront for $120.00.

Now for the meat of the look.  I will start with my ideas on what you can wear underneath the red coat that has a similar neckline and fabric hand to what we can see in the picture.

BAE Systems Facebook

For those of us not actually pregnant my option is this dress from Karen Kane.

6PM.com

We get the long sleeves (since we know it was cold in Scotland) the neckline and the black jersey knit fabric that I would bet money on that Catherine's dress was made out of.

The Karen Kane "3/4 Sleeve Shirred Dress" can be purchased for $69.99 from 6PM.com.

For the pregnant ladies out there Target had an excellent option.

Target.com

This Liz Lange® for Target® "Maternity Long-Sleeve Ponte Dress" in Black has the boat neck top and long sleeves you would want for the chilly air in Scotland and here at home as well. And for $17.48 from Target.com, it is a steal as well.

Finally for the red coat.  This was a hard one since the detailing on the Armani coat is so very fine but I think what I found hits the right balance between price and RepliKate-ness.

happyfamilyjudy

This coat from happyfamilyjudy on Etsy.com comes in the beautiful red shade of the Duchess' coat and even includes the single button closing.  Now there are a few extra details but the overall silhouette is strikingly similar.  As with all things Etsy it is always possible to contact the seller and see if they will make any modification that you might want tailoring this coat even closer to the Armani inspiration.

At $88.99 this coat can be yours!

Now the final pieces to the puzzle.  Tights and boots.  I prefer Pretty Polly's 100 Denier Opaques as they are quite warm and not sheer AT ALL and don't make sunny patterns when they are pulled on.

Pretty Polly

Pick up your pair in Black for $12.00 from PrettyPollyUSA.com.

The Duchess' trusty Aquatalia "Rhumba" boots were the end to this sartorial tale.  I have posted these before but below are my RepliKates. And when I say they are for wide calves- I am not playing around.  With my 17.5 inch calves these comfortably fit over skinny jeans and tights.  They are still available in select sizes at DSW.com.

DSW.com

These Audrey Brooke "Wynne Wide Calf Boot" can be purchased for $79.94 from DSW.com.

I loved seeing the scarf on full display but thought wearing a red jacket in Scotland wasn't the best color choice but it seemed that nobody minded too much.

What do you think of her cold weather choice in Scotland?

Till next time- happy shopping!

Watercolors and Fluttering Sleeves for Spring

               I can almost see Spring and the month of May! One of my favorite dress that the Duchess has worn (and another favorite pair of shoes) was worn while on the Southeast Asian tour in 2012.  

This modified piece by Erdem has flutter sleeves and a pleated knee length skirt.  With such a distinctive print I thought this one may never be RepliKated but I found quite a lovely option at Target.  If this looks is one you have been looking for it is quite an inexpensive option to add to your Spring/Summer wardrobe.

Target

This "Women's Multicolored Print Kimono Dress with Front Tie" dress can be purchased from Target.com for $24.99.  And I just might dress it up a bit more with my black satin skinny belt to make it look more polished.

I do believe that the earrings are not 100% identified but most think they are a modified pair of Kiki McDonough earrings. Shocking I know.  I am not a huge fan of the pear earrings she wore on the trip but the Kiki's are pretty.  I am still on the hint for a good match for those but my RepliKate for the pear shaped earrings are below.

Overstock.com

These "Created Blue Spinel and Diamond Earrings" can be purchased from Overstock.com for $34.54.

The Duchess carried a new bag with her on this night and the backside if this Franchi clutches is almost identical to the clutch that she carried.

6pm.com

Thus "Angela" handbag can be purchased for $122.99 from 6pm.com.

To tie the whole thing off, Catherine wore her LK Bennett "Harper" pumps.  I have used this shoe before in navy but in Ecru it is a dead ringer for the "Harper".

6pm.com

These Jessica Simpson "Calie" pumps can be purchased for $46.99 from 6pm.com.

Was this one of your favorite looks from the Duchess?

Till next time- happy shopping!

Swingin' in Monochrome

               This last week had a whole gaggle of Duchess sightings and I have one of those ensembles ready to RepliKate!  Both the Duchess and her Prince paid a visit to UK Bereavement and we got a very cute monochrome look out of it.

Catherine kept it simple with her Annoushka pearl drops on her Kiki McDonough diamond huggie hoops.  As some of you may know my favorite RepliKate for these are the ones that I made :-)

Gibbie Girl Designs

I have a few pairs in Silver that will be ready soon if anyone is interested- just leave a comment!

My first coat option.  It has no buttons but has a great collar (or lack thereof actually) and long sleeves.  Not sure it is as "swingy" as the Duchess' but still very close in shape.

SooBEST.com

This "New Simple Collarless Belt Coat" can be purchased for $176.51 from SooBEST.com.

I found several dresses that would make great RepliKates.  The first is from ModCloth.

ModCloth

The "Hello Collar Dress" has the contract collar and the added surprise of a mesh back and exposed zipper in the back.  It can be purchased for $44.99 from ModCloth.com.

For those of you who are really pregnant there is a precious maternity style of this dress from ASOS.

ASOS.com

The "Maternity Swing Dress With Peter Pan Collar and 1/2 Sleeve" can be purchased for $33.91 from ASOS.com.

The jacket that I decided to purchase for myself is below from Rhyme Los Angeles.

Piperlime.com

The "Mia Fitted Coat" is currently on sale for $49.99 from Piperlime.com and is ABSOLUTELY precious on (as I already owned this one).  I would highly suggest it.

The dress that I am considering pairing it with for myself is this jersey dress from Target.

Target.com

This "Mossimo® Women's Jersey Peter Pan Collar Dress" is $18.00 and can be purchased online at Target.com or in stores.  It also comes in numerous other colors if you want to branch from the monochromatic look.

She paired her Episode "Angel" pumps with black tights to finish off her look.  I love the Pretty Polly 100 Denier tights- they will actually keep you warm!

Pretty Polly

Pick up your pair of "100 Denier Supersoft Opaque Tights" in Black for $12.00 from PrettyPollyUSA.com.

I have heard reports back that the "Macall" pumps from RSVP are not terribly comfortable (and rumor is neither are the Episodes...), so I went about to find an alternative pair to get a similar look.

6PM.com

The "Remmedy" by Steve Madden fit the bill to me minus the concealed platform rather than the open one on the "Angel" pumps.  They are listed at $59.99 from 6PM.com and can be purchased there.

What did you think of the Duchess's monochromatic look?

Till next time- happy shopping!
