May Updates!

Since Kate is on maternity leave and has asked the press for privacy, I don't expect there to be very many sightings. However, there are still some loose ends to tie up from the birth of Princess Charlotte, designer profiles and Repli-kates from my own wardrobe. Stay tuned...

What did George wear?

Prince George stole the show when he arrived at the Lindo Wing to meet his new baby sister. He was also perfectly put together for the big occasion and couldn't have looked cuter.

He wore a classic white shirt with blue piping detail and matching baby blue turn-up cord short set by Rachel Riley ($159). The shorts feature an elasticated back waist, and are attached to the shirt with pearl effect buttons.

On top of his shirt, he wore a £40 navy Sous Marine cardigan from Amaia Kids (from a previous season and currently sold out). The cardigan comes in three colors.

Completing his outfit, George wore Amaia Kids stretch ribbed knit socks in Blue France (£7) and his Start Rite Jo Shoes in navy blue leather (£36).

What did Charlotte wear?

Many have inquired about what the newborn princess wore when she left the hospital, we finally have all the details.

Princess Charlotte wore a hand-knitted bonnet in 'bone' from an exclusive children’s boutique called Irulea in San Sebastian, northern Spain. The high-end children's and home goods store was opened by the current owners’ grandmother.

The bonnet was bought by the mother of William and Kate's live-in Spanish nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrello.

No two bonnet's are alike as each one is locally hand knitted. They are made from white and cream wool - called 'bone' by shop owner Ayajo Villar.

Maria's mother bought the bonnet (€ 55) as part of a three piece set which included a sweater (€ 85) and booties (€ 35) all made in 'bone.'

An interesting fact we have learned from the owner is that little Charlotte wore the bonnet backwards. The part that surrounds the face should be on the neck, however we still think Charlotte looked beautiful.

Princess Charlotte was covered in an ivory white 'elegant soft wool baby shawl' by G.H.Hurt & Son (£68 currently sold out but available for pre-order).

At 7pm EST, the official pictures of the new prince were released. The photos were taken by Kate's dad, Michael in the garden of the Middleton family home. The doting parents were snapped sitting on the grass along with family dog Lupo and Middleton family dog, Tilly.

In the second picture, the future king is bundled tightly and asleep in Kate's arms. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are clearly mesmerized by their tiny bundle.

Instead of picking a celebrity photographer and in a significant break from royal tradition, the two snapshots were carefully selected from the Cambridge's own private family album.

Kate looks radiant in a fuchsia knot front dress by Seraphine (£46). The dress features a flattering empire line cut, cap sleeves, a deep v-neckline that pulls aside for breastfeeding and knot front detail. It is also available in coral and navy.

The new family posed for photos outside the Lindo wing at St Mary’s Hospital. They then returned to go back inside as William held his son, before bringing him out again in his car seat.

The Duke of Cambridge breathed a visible sigh of relief when he placed the baby in the back sear of a waiting Range Rover. He then drove off to nearby Kensington Palace with Kate sitting by her son’s side.

The Duchess of Cambridge looked radiant in a cornflower blue bespoke crêpe de chine polka dot dress by British designer Jenny Packham. Kate has turned to this designer on numerous occasions. In a press release by the company, they said that they won’t be producing versions of the dress for sale.

The blue dress was a nod, no doubt, to her baby's gender - the same gesture made by her mother during her own visit earlier in the day.

And in a subtle tribute to Princess Diana, who wore a green spotted dress as she left the same hospital with Prince William in 1982, Kate’s dress had a similar polka dot pattern.

Completing her outfit, Kate wore her beige 'Imperia' wedges by Pied a Terre (no longer available), her Kiki McDonough citrine drop earrings and her sapphire and diamond engagement ring.
