Duchess Wears Ralph Lauren Sweater Dress to Centrepoint

Laid back and approachable seemed to be the theme of the day for William and Kate when they made a low key appearance at the Centrepoint Camberwell Foyer youth facility. Centrepoint is a charity that the Prince has been involved with for years and we like that Wills did away with his regular suits and opted for cords and a jumper instead.

Kate, for her part, opt for an olive/khaki Ralph Lauren Blue Label dress in a wool/cashmere blend. The turtleneck sweater dress style is both elegant and current, and Kate's choice of a belt gives the outfit definition. We'd say the outfit's slim lines also silences all those baby bump watchers -- at least for now. We can't say we love the choice of belt, though, and we really wish that Kate would give up her love affair with those Aquatalia knee-high Rumba boots, but we know you can't have everything in life.

As for accessories, Kate was once again sporting the Kiki Mcdonough Grace earrings.

Kate Wears Zara & Ralph Lauren at Prince's Trust Concert

Tonight we got glossy hair, big smiles, a moderate mini and the answer to one of the mystery items we've been trying to ID for awhile. At the Gary Barlow concert to raise money for the Prince's Trust, Kate wore the Zara Lace Tulip Dress, a pretty black-and-white frock that was thankfully both a bit of fun and age appropriate. The Duchess of Cambridge paired the belted dress with the same black blazer that she wore with that blue Zara dress when departing from Buckingham Palace the day after her wedding (finally identified as Ralph Lauren), black opaque tights, a black clutch and round-toed black suede heels with a slight platform.

We do prefer the dress with bare legs, but we understand why Kate went the opaque tight route. The Duchess' jewelry included her Kiki Mcdonough earrings and that gold charm bracelet from Camilla (who was also in attendance, wearing what looked like a lamé sack).

Kate Middleton Goes Casual in Purple Cashmere and Skinny Jeans

William and Kate were seen strolling along hand-in-hand in Scotland

wearing matching purple sweaters and button-downs.

No confirmation, but Kate's purple sweater certainly looks like Ralph Lauren's Blue Label cable knit cashmere sweater. The Duchess of Cambridge's skinny jeans are J. Brand and her running shoes are from Adidas.

The jumper looks similar to--if not the same as--one that Kate sported in 2007.

Later on Kate was seen nipping out for some groceries at Tesco wearing the same sweater and skinny jeans in a lighter wash. Catherine also sported the checked Aquascutum scarf that she wore in Canada and flats that look similar to the ones we've seen at the grocery store before, except these ones don't appear to be the same type of mock croc, but rather leather.

Our vote is for Outfit #2.

Update: Paige Denim has confirmed that Kate's light wash skinny jeans are their Skyline Ankle Peg style in Beachwood (available on Revolve for $158).

Kate Middleton's Navy Suede Pump Found?

We've been trying to ID the navy suede pumps that Kate Middleton has been sporting lately, but have come up pretty much empty. Prada, Choo, Sanderson, none seemed right. Then we happened on the above collage from the lovely Kate Middleton Style blog. An eagle eyed reader of the blog suggested that Kate's pumps may be the Belle and Mimi Suede Pointed Court Shoe from Barratts. They look like a pretty good match to us.

Kate's navy pumps also look similar to the Ralph Lauren Ceara Pointed Suede Pumps, although we're not sure if these come in navy. The purple is available on net-a-porter. We'd love to know what you think!

Royal Tour of North America: Day 7 - Slave Lake

Today was supposed to be a day off for William and Kate, but instead the royals decided to visit the town of Slave Lake in Alberta, which has been ravaged by fire. This has to be one of our favourite Kate looks so far.

Kate looked chic in those cropped navy J Brand 811 Mid Rise Skinny Jeans, her Dolce Vita slingback espadrilles, a still-to-be-ID'd ruffle blouse and the navy Smythe blazer she wore when leaving Heathrow.

Kate was wearing the same Linda Camm belt she has sported before.

UPDATE: 08-07-11 - Pied A Terre posted the following on their Facebook:

"There seems to be some confusion over Kate Middleton's shoes. To clarify there are pictures of her wearing both Imperia (last seasons style) and Ivy P (this seasons style). They are very similar, practically identical. For those who love this look, Ivy P comes in black and cream (£75). However online its only available in cream at present...check the website for more stock."

We're still not convinced the above shoes are the Ivy P,

rather they look like the Imperia, but we'll let it go.

UPDATE: 11-28-11 - After nearly going blind trying to source Kate's ruffle blouse we're happy to report that Clare (via WKW) has ID'd it. The chiffon ruffle blouse that the Duchess of Cambridge wore under her Smythe blazer in Slave Lake is from Lauren by Ralph Lauren.

Kate Wears Blue Zara Dress Leaving Buckingham Palace

After spending their wedding night at Buckingham Palace, Prince William and Kate Middleton--the Duchess of Cambridge now, we suppose, although we think we'll stick with KMidd--departed via helicopter. Apparently they'll take a weekend and then go back to their "regular" lives before taking their honeymoon sometime in the future, ostensibly to escape some of the press scrutiny.

A relaxed looking Kate once again showed her love for blue--and the high street--by appearing in a pleated Zara dress worn with a belt, a boxy black blazer with three-quarter length sleeves (which we've yet to ID) and her favoured L.K. Bennett Maddox wedges. The collarless black jacket with three-quarter-length sleeves looks like Joseph to us, but yet to be confirmed. Thumbs up to Kate's going away outfit.

Update 12-06-11:

Kate's black blazer has now been identified as Ralph Lauren!
