Ah we do love the thrifty style ways of Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge. I am a big admirer of her sensible approach to spending in a time of austerity in the UK. I think it sends all the right messages. I would just have preferred it if we didn't have to see the same dress twice in the same month, is all. Aside from that I am happy as larry. I mean, at yesterday's garden party to kick off the Jubilee celebrations, doesn't she just look like she is having a BLAST? Just the best time. Her infectious smile just makes me want to be there with her. That and of course the chance to meet HRH Queen. For that I would wear the same dress for a year.

Every single picture of Kate yesterday in the sunshine looks happy and joyous and fun. She and her in laws, Charles and Camilla, especially seem to be having fun with each other.

She is of course wearing the same Emilia Wickstead pink silk crepe dress that she wore to the tea for the global royals at Windsor.

This time, the brooch is gone and in its place we get to see the lovely neckline of the garment due to the tumbling locks being held back and a lovely hat by Jane Corbett being added. It really is extremely pretty.

Even from above the hat has incredible charm. Well done on that, Kate. And she has swapped out the shoes from the satin Prada ones she wore indoors, to the more practical LK Bennett nude heels, fit for the garden.

But let's not forget that this is all about HRH. 8,000 people turned up for tea yesterday. Imagine you had that many attending your long service awards at the office. Amazing.
