Thursday 29 May 2014: Coral and scarlet for Scotland visit

5/29/2014

Happy Day! Today was the first engagement of Kate since the Royal Tour Down Under a month ago, visiting the Stathearn Community Campus, the MacRosty Park and the Famous Grouse Distillery in Crieff, Scotland, together with William.

For the day, Kate wore a new coat, the gorgeous coral and red striped 'Athena' from Scottish designer Jonathan Saunders ($ 2,555). (Click here for my post with replikates for Jonathan Saunders' sweater). Beneath it was a coral coloured dress from Goat, believed to be the 'Scarlett pleat front' dress (£ 450).

As for accessories, Kate opted for some of her well-known pieces: her famous taupe 'Sledge' heels by L.K. Bennett ($ 345), the matching 'Avona' clutch, also by L.K. Bennett ($ 295), and her 'Citrine Pear Drop' earrings by Kiki McDonough (£ 495).

And last but not least, Kate was also sporting a beautiful new silver round brooch with a Celtic design, according to the Palace a private wedding gift. 
And of course I couldn't resist looking for great replikates for this outfit!

Dress: Ebay / Bag: Modalu England / Shoes: Dune / Earrings: Palm Beach / Necklace: Tudorshoppe on Etsy

It's now raining again (how predictable), but a few days ago it was finally summer dress weather. Of course that was the perfect opportunity for me to don my Lucky dress replikate I got on ebay last year (unfortunately no longer available) and my new Imperia D wedges, which are quickly becoming my favourite summer shoes!
Picture
Also I got new hair! (Well not 'new' of course, but you know, different looking :-P), so it's a bit shorter and a bit more mahogany. What do you guys think of it? 
Picture
Sorry for being a bit quiet last week. I booked a short trip to Sicily in early July, but finding that perfect little Italian hotel is actually more difficult than it sounds :-P Good news is I'll have the opportunity again to showcase more replikate summer outfits! And to practise my Italian.....  Arrivederci, everyone!

My Ikea Billy shoe closet (and lots of shoes!)

My shoes used to pile up in my hallway, which neither looked tidy, nor benefited their longevity. It was time for a change, my shoes deserved better! My hallway is way too small for a big fancy shoe closet, so I decided to put one in my study, because that room is closest to my front door. I didn't want to spend too much on it though, so I did another (tiny) Ikea hack, giving a good old Billy book case a small facelift....
Picture

What I used:
1 white Billy book case                      $    59.99
1 white Billy height extension unit $    20.00
2 white Billy Olsbo doors                   $ 100.00
2 white small Billy Olsbo doors       $   40.00
6 glass Billy shelves                             $   60.00
4 Faglavik door knobs (2 packs)    $      9.98
4 Grundtal spotlights (2 packs)       $   49.98

Total                                       $ 339.95

I am so happy with the result! The case ensures my shoes stay clean and organised and, you know... it just looks pretty darn cool! ;-)

I would almost say I'm sad the weather is getting better, because that means my awesome new Black Watch tartan coat will be too warm to wear.....

.... Just kidding! I am absolutely looking forward to summer :D

The statue is of the Dutch admiral and privateer Piet Hein, who was born in Delfshaven (now part of Rotterdam), where I live (pictures were taken in front of my house).

I've always loved a great gingham check. It's so classic, simple and elegant! But Kate wearing her gingham shirt from Gap during the Royal Tour has made me extra gingham-crazy for this summer, so here are some of my favourite finds of this moment!
