This patent cork wedge from C. Wonder is not an exact dupe. However it is very much in the style of both Kate's L.K. Bennett patent espadrilles and the Stuart Weitzman cork wedges she debuted at the Olympics. Its a mix of both actually and she has not worn either recently so those old posts will do for now.

Now a nude pump is a nude pump is a nude pump. But Kate recently busted out her trusty signature L.K. Bennet nude pumps for a couple of her visits -- to Naomi House Children's Hospice (below left) and the Windsor Castle Scouts ceremony (below right). She wore the neutral pumps with bright colors so many Kate followers heralded the outing of these shoes as her official debut to spring.
While I'm not feeling the minty green number, the peach is a nice color on her.
And I have to say I am not a fan of her recent thigh high hemline with stiletto heel pairings from a stability standpoint. It would be embarrassing, not to mention hazardous, to have a repeat of the St. Patrick's day snafu in one of those recent short numbers as she is this far along and the Sledge heels are particularly high with an added platform.

This next item is an oldie but its a first for this blog because it features jewelry!
Kate has frequently (but not lately) been pictured wearing a pavé diamond "Button" pendant from Asprey. Below is the best angle I could find from the 2011 Canada/USA tour but for better close-ups visit Diana's Jewels.

It is a silver tone round pendant with pavé set diamonds and a center amethyst. This pendant design has also been identified as resembling a variation of an "evil eye" pendant. While simple in design, the necklace clocks in at $3,750 USD.

First up is this black and white diamond pendant from Kohl's. It has a bit of extra colored stones on the outer rim however. If Kate's pendant is a variation on the evil eye, this one would be an evil eye with a pop of eyeliner!

This next pendant necklace from Target would be a pretty decent approximation since Kate's Asprey pendant also comes in gold, all save for the lack of a colored center stone. I should note that while only the gold is available online, I did see a silver tone version in store.

This colored pendant from Zales with purple tanzanite and diamonds is slightly the opposite of Kate's pendant with more color and less white diamond. But is sure is a beauty.
