The Duchess of Cambridge's Maternal Style

Little Baby Cambridge could come out any moment now. So I'm taking the time to share with you the maternity style of the Duchess of Cambridge (also with names that I think Baby Cambridge will have). According to What Kate Wore, due to the fact that Catherine is delivering in mid-July, Catherine was probably pregnant in mid-October. So that's where we start. Note: I do not include weddings, shopping trips, or the Cheltenham Festival.

Duchess of Cambridge wants a Boy, Duke of Cambridge wants a Girl

Today, at the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Aldershot, England. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spent the day talking with the military guards and watched the parade. Catherine even got her heel stuck in a grate!

According to reports, Catherine admitted she wants her child to be a boy. While, William wants it to be a girl... We can only wait.

Catherine wore the Emilia Wickstead dress-coat that she wore last year. She paired it with a repeat black dress that she wore in Leicester when she was visiting there with the Queen for her Diamond Jubilee. She also wore a pair of emerald earrings that she debuted last year.

Fashion Awards: Cheltenham Festival

 Best in Coats
Zara Phillips

Zara like last year impressed me with her coats! The red one worn on the second day was my favourite. 

Best in Hats
Zara Phillips

Zara again, sweeps my favourite category... again. It's like she plans for the Cheltenham Festival all year!

Best in Normal
Princess Anne

Anne usually comes with her normal style. She's a royal that doesn't care about what people think about her style. She just wants her duties to be done. I admire her for that.

Best in Suprise!
Autumn Phillips and Duchess of Cambridge

Autumn Phillips made an un-expected visit to the festival this year! Her hat looking very... interesting. Kind of like Zara's hat from the Diamond Jubilee last year... Catherine showed up wearing her Lock & Co hat... again. She brought it out of the closet a few weeks ago.

Royals Love: Lace

Another section in our "Royals Love Series". This time with lace:

Designers (left to right): McQueen, Erdem, Erdem, Jenny Packham, McQueen, Jenny Packham, Temperly

The Duchess of Cambridge is a very big fan of lace it showed back when she married in 2011 and last year, during the Diamond Jubilee and her tour of Asia. Catherine turns to different designers when it comes to lace. Above, there are the names fo the designers that Catherine wore in the past two years.

Other royals also have a love of lace, Crown Princess Mary has worn more than two lace dresses. Last year she wore two dazzling numbers! The Hereditary Grand Duchess wore a lace dress (I think) for her wedding. Princess Letizia wore a lace dress last year and a evening gown with a lace top a while back.

Duchess of Cambridge's Child: A Girl? *

Catherine visited Grimsby today. She had three engagements, she started a bit late from taking a helicopter. She was late due to some weather difficulties in London. That wasn't the big news of the visit.

Catherine from today

Catherine made a rather big "stur" as some people might say, when she was given a teddy bear. She told the lady, "Thank you, I will take that to my d-". She cut herself off before she could finish the sentence. Many people now believe that she will have a daughter.

Don't jump to conclusion. She could have said, "Thank you, I will take that to my dad." Who knows? Maybe Michael Middleton loves teddy bears? No laugh? Ok...

Update:
Catherine didn't say, "Thank you, I will take that to my d-". Catherine did in fact say, "Is this for us? Thank you very much, that is very sweet of you."

Royals Love: Belts

I've noticed looking through royal maternity wear, that many royal women love belts. So, here are some Crown Princesses wearing belts (note, there's not a lot of pictures):

 Everyone knows that Catherine loves her belts! Last year, she wore 27 belts on 88 engagements (there could be more though). There's only 88 that I know of. Her belts are fashionable though, she must have a least 100 different belts... I want to see them all.

 Letizia doesn't usually wear belts as often as most princesses or royals. She wears them ocassionally, and when she does wear them. Man! They look good on her!

Mary is a royal who usually wears belts but sometimes doesn't. Her belts are nice, I like them, I swear I have that belt in the middle... Awesome! I don't really have a lot to say...

Maxima is known to wear tiny belts, normally around the size of an inch or two, or something like that.

Victoria hardly wears belts, that's why when I came across Victoria, I had to look on Google. Her belts are nice looking though. Then again, how can a belt not be ugly?

Royal Fashion: Twins!

Princess Maxima of the Netherlands started her two day tour with her husband, Willem-Alexander and she wore a dress that looked a lot like a dress that Princess Claire of Belgium has worn. So, it's Royal Twinsies time!

(Princess Maxima in Brunai; Princess Claire at the Pre-Wedding Dinner of Princess Stephanie & Prince Guillaume)

See, wasn't I right? These dresses look so much alike! They are totally the same dress! They both look stunning in them though.
 

(Crown Princess Mary at the Christening of her niece, Princess Athena; Pippa Middleton at Wimbledon)

Crown Princess Mary wore this Project D dress to the christening of her niece, Athena in May of 2012. Pippa Middleton (younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge) wore this dress to Wombledon with her sister.
 

(Princess Alexandra at the Ruby Jubilee of her aunt, Queen Margrethe; Duchess of Cambridge at a Gala to support Team Great Britain)

At first, I thought that the dress looked nice on Alexandra. Then, I saw it on Catherine, and I didn't even remember that Alexandra wore the same dress but in red. The Jenny Packham dress looks good on both royal women.

 (Princess Madeleine in her enagement photos; Princess Letizia in her 40th birthday pictures)

I was looking through portraits of the ladies, to see if there are any dresses that are alike. I looked and stared at Madeleine's green dress, a dress that I love. I looked at Letizia's dress and a bing went off. Maybe, it's not the same Alberta Ferrari dress, but it's similar.
