Duchess of Cambridge Spends the Day in Wales..

The Duchess of Cambridge spent the day in Wales today to attend two different engagements on behalf of her new patronage - Action for Children. The patronage was passed on from The Queen in December.

Her first stop was to learn more about MIST - Multi-disciplinary Intervention Service - which helps children and adolescents with mental health issues. The Duchess met with families and foster carers who spoke about their experiences.

Kate Spends Valentines Day at RAF Wittering

The Duchess spent Valentine's Day at RAF Wittering today where she met local air cadets.

Kate was given a tutorial inside one of the aircrafts.

Kate then took part in a personal development training session.

She also took part in a flight training simulator session.

The Duchess's outfit today was very appropriate for Valentine's Day. It was a nice nod to the day to wear red and is no surprise given the Duchess's love for wearing outfits with significance to the occasion.

The Duchess wore the Philosophy Di Lorenzo Serafini Double-Breasted Twill Blazer. She teamed the blazer with a black roll neck and black jeans.

She also wore the Stuart Weitzman HalfNHalf Boots.

The Duchess finished the look with the Kiki McDonough Lauren Yellow Gold Pave Diamond Leaf Earrings.

Copy Kate
Now this brand isn't exactly high-street it's more high-end high street however it is a beautiful double-breasted alternative to Kate's and is still much more affordable than the Philosophy Di Lorenzo Serafini option! The Sandro Gaudi Double Breasted Blazer is a very chic number which works beautifully with black skinny jeans like Kate sported today.

Duke & Duchess at the BAFTAs...

Tonight the Duke and Duchess made their debut at the BAFTAs. It has been a much anticipated engagement for the couple and tonight did not disappoint.

The Duchess looked extremely stylish as they walked the red carpet at The Royal Albert Hall.

They were greeted by BAFTA CEO Amanda Berry.

Tonight the Duchess debuted a new gown - very exciting!

It was a bespoke Alexander McQueen Gown which is based on the Long Tier Violet Jacquard Gown.

She wore the Prada Wavy-Cut Suede Pumps.

She carried the Alexander McQueen Heart-Clasp Satin Box Clutch.

Kate wore a stunning pair of statement earrings.

She appears to wearing the diamond bracelet loaned to her by The Queen, which was gift from Prince Phillip on their wedding day.

It was a stunning look for the Duchess tonight!

Copy Kate
Now, I think it is probably fair to say we could never emulate this gown to a level anywhere near as gorgeous as what Kate wore tonight, but, that doesn't mean we don't want to try. If you want to make a statement in an off-the-shoulder floral print gown then why not try the Chi Chi London Kellie Dress. It is stylish and chic in it's own way and would still make a good impact at any event!

Today is also a very important day for Her Majesty The Queen. The Duchess reached her Sapphire Jubilee today. The Queen has been on the throne for 65years as today marks the tragic anniversary of her father's death. In honour of this occasion Buckingham Palace reissued a portrait by David Bailey which was taken in 2014. The Queen can be seen wearing a sapphire jewellery set which was given to her by King George VI as a wedding present.
