Looks We Love

From the high street to haute couture, these are our favorite looks that the Duchess of Cambridge wore on her recent tour of India and Bhutan with her husband. 

In Saloni on the eve of the tour, this blue gown set the tone for the trip

The Cambridges Take New York

The Duke & Duchess arriving at the Carlyle Hotel in NYC, Kate in a Seraphine coat

The beginning of this week marked the second US tour for the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge.  Their first royal tour to the US was a visit to Southern California, and we attended polo in Santa Barbara just to see them, but this time the royals visited New York.  During their whirlwind trip, William and Kate attended a basketball game, the 9/11 Memorial, a fundraising dinner for their Alma mater, and several events supporting their charities and pet causes, involving endangered animals and children's education.  While this wasn't our favorite tour in a sartorial sense, Kate looked lovely during the trip, dressed conservatively for the cold weather and her newly visible second pregnancy.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, along with baby Prince George, are currently on a Royal Tour of New Zealand and Australia.  We are loving every minute of watching the young royal family on their visit, from George's first official duties, to William and Kate's playful relationship, to the Duchess' new outfits after hearing about her recent 'makeover'.  Here are some of our favorite looks from the first part of the trip.
