The couple were welcomed to the Inner City Arts academy by six elementary-aged children holding a welcome banner.
Kate wore a navy-and-white crochet top and an ivory 'Lina Dobby' pleated skirt (£95 and as of this writing only available in a size 16), both by Whistles.
The following description is from www.johnlewis.com
'Featuring on-trend pleats and a light, feminine ivory tone the Whistles Lina skirt offers a high waist and all over dobby spot print.'
Kate accessorized with her Belle and Mimi Suede Pointed Court Shoe, her ivory moc-croc clutch, sapphire and diamond earrings and her diamond cross pendant necklace.
Kate & William departed aboard a British Airway aircraft from LAX this afternoon. They posed for a few pictures and were then ushered inside.
Update 7/11/11
I had been unable to locate the navy-and-white crochet top seen above that the media has been reporting as being Whistles. I contacted Whistles and asked them for confirmation that this was, indeed their top. This is the response that I received back from them:
'Whistles The crochet top is definitely not Whistles. The Lina double pleat skirt has sold out online but is still available in our stores'
I will continue to do my research and post when I have an update.
Update 7/22/12
After much thought and research, I have come to the conclusion that Kate's crochet top is, in fact, Whistles. Below are some close-up pictures of the top taken from Ebay.
Great post, so happy, we were able to ID things for you!
ReplyDeleteFabulous posts and daily updated on the Princess. Do you happen to know what tights Kate wears? I think they look great.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for reading my blog :) There has never been a formal announcement made to the media about what brand of tights Kate wears so we can only speculate at this point.
ReplyDeleteAccording to an article in 'The Daily Mail' newspaper, a spokesperson for Selfridges (Kate shops here a lot) said that the most popular sheer satin tights are Wolford Naked 8s and Satin Touch 20s and Falke's Shelina tights. A runner up is the Pretty Polly's Naturals range.
If I find out any additional information, I will be sure to post an update.
The top is Pre-Fall 2007 Whistles.
