Kate Volunteers with the Scouts

Last Wednesday, the Duchess was snapped as she walked through the woods with the Scotland Porthaethwy Menai Bridge branch on a camping excursion near her Anglesey, North Wales home.

Kate even brought her cocker spaniel pup along.

She wore a brown vest over her Paige Denim Skyline Ankle Peg jeans ($189) and Le Chameau Vierzonord Wellington Boots (£145).

William & Kate Attend Exclusive Black Tie Dinner at Thirty Club

Last night, Kate accompanied William to a private black tie dinner hosted by the Thirty Club at Claridge's Hotel in London.

This was a members only event with some of the world's most powerful media people in attendance. The monthly event  allows key players in the industry to network and seal deals. Prince William was the guest speaker.

Kate wore a cream gown from Rouland Mouret's 2009 RM collection.  She showed off her slender figure and shapely legs in the full length, snug-fit dress with high neckline, long sleeves and a thigh-high split.

The dress is aptly called The Lombard, which the designer named in honour of the Hollywood "blonde bombshell", Carole Lombard. We first saw this dress worn by former French First Lady Carla Bruni back in in 2010, although when Bruni wore it, it was teal, not cream.

The Duchess accessorised the slinky cream gown with sparkly silver Jimmy Choo 'Vamp'  metallic sandals (£450) – showing off her maroon-coloured painted toenails - and a matching clutch.

Kate rocked a pair of chandelier-style AVA earrings by Beaut Jewellery. She wore her hair down, styled in her trademark loose curls.

Kate & William Attend the Carter - Gillingham Wedding

On Saturday, William and Kate were seen at the wedding of Hannah Gillingham and Robert Carter. It was held at St. Andrew's Church in Wingfield, England.

Hannah was a childhood pal and attended Marlborough College with Kate. They played on several of the same sports teams.

Kate recycled her blue lace Erdem dress that she wore during her and William's tour of Canada last Summer.

She chamged things up by accessorizing with a black and gold studded Alexander McQueen belt, a blue fascinator, blue Prada suede heels and her 'Marano' clutch by UK designer Anya Hindmarch.

Update 5/1/2012

Kate wore a navy, box-cut, cropped jacket over her Erdem dress. The general consensus right now (thanks to WKW) is that it's a bespoke Erdem jacket based on the Erdem 'Tegan' tweed jacket ($1,266). I will be emailing Erdem for confirmation.

Thanks so much to follower Hannah Gladman who kindly shared that Kate's hat is a bespoke Rachel Trevor-Morgan creation.

William & Kate Attend the Princes’ Charities Forum

After four engagements in the last 48 hours, William & Kate attended yet another. They attended a meeting of the Princes’ Charities Forum at the Royal Society. The Forum is a twice-yearly gathering of all the couples’ charities – as well as those of Prince Harry - to share ideas and offer mutual support.

Kate looked immaculate in a white Ted Baker 'STARDY' Bib detail blouse (thanks to WKW for the ID). The pretty white shirt had vintage-style sleeves and delicate detailing down the front.

Description from the Asos website (sold out as of this writing):

'Long sleeved blouse, Front pleat bib detail, Concealed button fastening, Small stand collar, Button fastening on cuffs.'

Update 4/30/2012

Thanks so much to follower Hannah Gladman who, generously shared that Kate is holding her Emilio Pucci Blazer. Hannah says, ' You can see the White Label + the font is the Emilio Pucci Font (the Smythe Blazer was a Black Label)'
