Duchess Visits Norfolk Children's Hospice...

The Duchess visited her patronage EACH (East Anglia's Children's Hospices) in Quidenham today.

Kate was greeted by large crowds and lots of children - some of whom had created some rather cute drawings for the Duchess.

Kate went to see how the fundraising was going for the Nook Appeal a new purpose-built hospice in Norfolk.

Kate helped launch the Nook Appeal in 2014.

Kate toured the current facilities and met families who use the services on offer at the hospice. She then took part in an art therapy session.

Kate looked sophisticated in a Hobbs Sinead Jacket & Skirt Suit.

She teamed the skirt suit with the Gerard Darel Josephine Blouse. She wore the collar on the outside of the jacket which I thought was a nice touch and lifted the whole outfit.

She also wore the Gianvito Rossi Pumps in Black Suede.

She carried the Mulberry Bayswater Clutch.

She completed the look with the Kiki McDonough Morganite & Diamond Cushion Drop Earrings.

Cut a sophisticated look in an elegant blouse like the Duchess in the Victoriana Blouse by Glamorous Petites which is available from Topshop. It has similar tie details but is only £24 - much more affordable!

Kate wore the Erdem Evita Printed Matelassé Dress today. I loved this dress and think it will be a piece we see on a number of engagements in the future as it is an ideal day-night piece.

She wore the Tod's Fringed Leather Pumps and carried the Mulberry Bayswater Clutch.

Kate completed the look with the Oscar de la Renta Hammered Gold-Plated Faux Pearl Earrings.

It was a polished and sophisticated look from the Duchess today and I absolutely loved it!

Copy Kate
Look elegant in a floral print shift dress like Kate. There are a few options for this. The Marks & Spencer's Embroidered Floral Half Sleeve Shift Dress is a beautiful high-street option and retails for £89. It features delicate multicoloured embroidery in similar colours as the Erdem dress.

There is also the high-end high street option. The Goat Venus Print Dress is a beautiful option but more expensive at £520, however not quite as much as the Erdem dress which retails for around £735.

Both of these dresses would be lovely additions to any wardrobe and would add a pop of subtle colour and print.

Copy Kate:
If you want to look regal in a bold blue look then why not try the Reiss Elle Knot-Front Dress in Sapphire. This stylish blue dress features a similar skirt and sleeve length as Kate's option but at a much more affordable price of £180.  It is a real investment piece as it will transition between the seasons. Team with navy accessories in Winter and nude or blush accessories in the Summer.
