Let's do the Kate!



Kate dresses beautifully - we would love for all to ollow in the footsteps of this simplistic classic and timeless style.

Her fitted, nipped-in jackets, silhouette-hugging dresses and timeless accessories are elegant and regal, yet age-appropriate.

She has the power to spark a fashion stampede simply by wearing something once. 

She often wears British designers such as Temperley, Mulberry and Burberry, which is a good blend of patriotic and classic. 

But Kate’s fondness for the High Street stores Reiss, Jigsaw and Topshop also show she’s a girl who’s not afraid to mix and match affordable pieces with designer labels. 

The phenomenon has become known as The Kate Effect. Whenever the Duchess of Cambridge appears in public, whatever she is wearing sells out instantly — both in store and online.

When in doubt, wear RED!


Someone asked us what we would suggest wearing to
an informal wedding dinner at a restaurant.
Black was out due to the family's cultural beliefs so we replied, 
"When in doubt, wear Red!" 
She proceeded to wear a LRD Little Red Dress we recommended
and had a Reddy good time!
