Royal Tour - 9 April 2014: Black, white & jolly

That enormous time difference between the Netherlands and New Zealand is messing stuff up for me, only being able to write about the Tour hours later, when I am back from work :-S

'Today', William, Kate and little George went to the Government House in Wellington, to meet with parents and their babies of roughly George’s age (8 months), as a playdate for infants. Apart from that, William and Kate had the opportunity to learn more about Plunket (Royal New Zealand Plunket Society in full), a charity that supports parents with the development, health and well-being of their children under five.  

I totally love these two pictures below! It was said that Kate told people that Prince George liked to bite on his mom's hair, and now we have proof that he does! Maybe that's the reason for Kate's significantly shorter haircut, split ends!? ;-) 

Several other blogs already identified and discussed Kate's outfit of today, so I am now doing just a quick round up. 

Kate was wearing the Paulina dress from the Resort 2014 collection of Tory Burch. This is the first time Kate wore a piece by Tory Burch, but her sister Pippa has worn several dresses and shoes from the brand before. I actually always thought it was kind of strange that Kate never wore anything from Tory Burch, since the brand offers so many pieces that are very 'Kate'. 

Now she has, luckily, as I think this dress is an absolute winner! I always love dresses that are very simple in design, but with interesting details, like in this case the fringe trims, the pleats and waist, and the fabric. Too bad all Paulina dresses were sold out as soon as I had the chance to shop for it :'(

The shoes were ID'd as the 'Vikki Sue' model in black suede from Jimmy Choo. Both the watch and the earrings we have seen before. They are the Ballon Bleu watch from Cartier and the Pearl Drop Earrings from Anoushka. 

As a piece with a print, the Paulina dress was a very difficult item to find replikates for.  But I have tried anyway and collected them in this collage below. Hope you like it! 

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 

Until soon!
