Blue suit - Lancashire
For her final official engagement up in Lancashire pre-wedding, an incredibly svelte looking Kate wore a blue Amanda Wakeley suit which perfectly complemented her engagement ring.
According to the Amanda Wakeley press release the suit was "vintage silk".
Amanda's latest designs can be found on her website here
The Burberry trench coat - Belfast
Once the brand every chav aspired too Burberry has undergone a quiet yet meticulous transformation (think Emma Watson) in recent years finally receiving the (almost) royal stamp of approval in March when Kate stepped out for a pancake toss in the Burberry trench coat.Kate wears it well and the ruffle hem brings a girly touch to what can often be a boring style of coat.
Part of the Spring/Summer 11 collection the Burberry trench coat retails for £650 and predictably is.....sold out......well it was, turns out the coat is back in stock!!! Bravo Burberry.
The herringbone coat and fascinator - Anglesey lifeboat
A blustery February day saw Kate and Will up in Anglesey christening a lifeboat!
Kate wore a fascinator by Wiltshire designer Vivien Sheriff a very close replica of the fascinator, the aptly named Katerina Sisal, is still for sale on Viviens website for £155
According to the Daily Mail the Herringbone coat was designed by Katherine Hooker and has been in Kate's wardrobe for over 5 years (its first outing was at the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2006). Costing £700 the coat has been shortened from a mid calf length to a more fashionable above the knee length. Bravo Kate for your Make, Do and (A)mend approach!
The red suit - St Andrews
In February 2011, Will and Kate went on their first official engagement back to St Andrews University where they first met. The red suit although not a favourite of mine was designed by Luisa Spagnoli an Italian designer. According to "herdaily" Kate purchased the suit from Hollie de Keyser in Knightsbridge.
Teamed with her staple black knee boots and black accessories Kate has turned what could be quite a frumpy suit into a sweet outfit. The devil is in the detail even her black leather gloves have a red lining!
