Kate Middleton Recycles in Nottingham

For a trip to Nottingham with Prince William and the Queen, the Duchess of Cambridge selected the same blue boucle M by Missoni coat as she wore on an earlier outing with HM and Camilla. Kate swapped out her grey suede Rupert Sanderson Malone pumps for her L.K. Bennett "Art" pump, we prefer the former. For the Nottingham visit Kate also wore her re-fashioned sapphire and diamond "Diana" earrings, the quilted Jaeger "Kate" bag, and the Rachel Trevor-Morgran chapeau that she wore with that fabu McQueen coat dress last year. Underneath the Missoni? That blue Zara dress. What do you think of Kate's recycled look?

Kate Rocks Pucci and Coral Jeans for Visit to Olympic Park

We have one message for the Duchess of Cambridge when it comes to the outfit she sported for her visit to Olympic Park: you killed it Kate. We adore the Emilio Pucci blazer, Zara Pop Slim Fit coral jeans, LK Bennett "Art" block heeled pumps and official Olympic scarf. Wearing a grey hoodie Kate also showed off her field hockey skills.

Did you like Kate's sporty Olympic look?

Kate Middleton in Navy Amanda Wakeley at Darwen Academy

Prince William and Kate Middleton appeared at Darwen Academy on a rain soaked day that clearly tested the hold of Kate's signature blowout. On this day Kate chose a half-up style, a navy suit by Amanda Wakeley and a perma-smile that seems to be proclaiming that she's not only ready for her royal duties but will relish them.

At first glance the suit seems a bit...safe, but we like the detailing like the hook and eye clasps of the jacket. The block-heeled shoes, however, we could have done without.

Sure, we understand someone on their feet for several hours needs something comfortable but Kate's L.K. Bennett Art heels seem to be veerying into granny territory. As in Wills' granny, QE II.

Kate's clutch--which we're thinking may be Anya Hindmarch--we definitely like.

KMidd's earrings are the Kiki Mcdonough Citrine Drops.
