The Great Kate Wait 2.0

Happy Anniversary to our favorite couple, Will & Kate! I don't know about you, but, the Royal Wedding was just about the most fun that was ever had on social media. I mean, wasn't it so lovely watching Kate walk down the aisle? Gah, I love it!

In honor of their four years of wedded bliss, and the impending arrival of the newest member of the house of Windsor, I thought I would share a few of my favorite memories of the Royal Wedding, as well as a few of the best RepliKates out there, just in case, you're like me and want to dress like a Princess--er, Duchess.

This is my favorite--it's like "Hey, thanks for showing up today. Also, you look hot."

Watch us kiss, peasants!

And just because they are the literal cutest and her hair is seriously swoon worthy....

This is one of my all time favorite Kate pictures--she looks stunning, as usual, but, the pointing and the tiara are all very "Oh yes darling? Oh, I can't hear you over my TIARA."  And I lust after that dress. LUST.

But since I don't have a royal budget and can't afford stunning Temperly of London frocks, I must settle for second best. Which is fine because the ladylike astethic that the Duchess is known for is finally becoming mainstream popular! Hallejauh! 

Nordstrom is currently selling a RepliKate of her LK Bennet Floral dress pictured below. 
 I bought the Nordstrom version and love it--it was a little big in the waist and arms, but, nothing a tailor can't fix!

It seems the Fashion Gods heard our prayers and Hobbs UK is re-releasing the most perfect tea dress in a cornflower blue rather than the grey that Kate sported. This is one of my all time favorite looks--it is ladylike and pretty without being pretentious! Hobbs is actually super affordable!
Of course I ordered this too, and it is currently making its way across the pond from England and I am dying to get my grubby little hands on it! 

What are your favorite Duchess of Cambridge looks?
