Week in Review: The Duchess of Cambridge, 15-21 July

1. a) Visiting an Olympic exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, 19 July, in b) Stella McCartney with c) a Cartier necklace. Loving the Stella, obviously (what’s not to love about a simple dress in a vibrant color – plus, she designed the kit for Team GB, so there you go). But sadly, I’m not digging the necklace. I know, serious jewelry, I ought to be in lurve…but instead of an Olympic ring tie-in, I think it looks like she brought her own medal. Eh. (The cost doesn't bother me, though. It’s not what I’d spend my £49,000 on, but I don’t care what you do with your £49,000. And if you think that’s “too much” to wear during the day, then you must turn a seriously blind eye to what the Queen wears each and every day, because the cost on any of those brooches would blow this necklace out of the water.)

Week in Review: The Duchess of Cambridge, 24-30 June

1. a) She attended a friend's wedding wearing this Beulah London dress and b) a repeated Jane Corbett hat. Can't say there's much I like from Beulah London - not my style, I guess - but they do good things for the victims of human trafficking, so they're fine by me.

3. a) Attending the Diamond Jubilee Concert, 4 June, in b) a Whistles dress with a McQueen jacket.

Week in Review: The Duchess of Cambridge, 22-28 April

3. Launching the World War I galleries at the Imperial War Museum, 26 April in the gray version of an oatmeal sheath we saw before.

Week in Review: The Duchess of Cambridge, 11-19 March

1. a and b) Visiting the women's Olympic hockey team, 15 March. Look! Cambridge No. 1 rides again! And I like her patriotic little outfit with the Team GB Paralympic scarf, even though I saw it compared to a flight attendant somewhere and can't get that out of my head.
2. Visiting Dulwich Picture Gallery with the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, 15 March. Doubling up on the engagements, and clearly feeling one colorful turn a day is plenty. (I kid, but I do prefer this one to her last Orla Kiely.)
3. Presenting shamrocks to the Irish Guards for St. Patrick's Day, 17 March. Yay for Emilia Wickstead! I love her - she was even one of my dark horse hopes to be chosen as The Wedding Dress Designer.
4. Opening a new facility (and making her first public speech) for EACH hospices, 19 March, wearing a dress also worn by her mother... and yes, this is exactly the dress one's mum would also wear, if you know what I mean.

Week in Review: The Duchess of Cambridge, 4-10 March

1. Tagging along on the kickoff for the queen's Diamond Jubilee tour in Leicester with Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh, 8 March, in LK Bennett with a Lock & Co. hat. Love this. LOVE. Good hair, good hat, très chic, teal is yummy, etc.

Week in Review: The Duchess of Cambridge, 26 February-3 March

1. Accompanying Queen Elizabeth and the Duchess of Cornwall to Fortnum & Mason, 1 March. In honor of St. David's Day, Kate (wearing an M Missoni coat over a repeated blue Zara dress and going without one of her safety blanket clutches to clutch) wore fresh daffodils and Camilla (in Bruce Oldfield) wore the leek of the Welsh Guards. The queen (in Angela Kelly) wore a floral brooch with unknown provenance.

Speaking of the queen, I was quite sure she would end up my best dressed of the lot in advance of the three royal musketeers' engagement debut - after all, she does royal color and coordination better than any other Windsor lady. What she does not do well - what she does not need to do - is the gimmicky themed stuff. You don't need the uniform, Your Maj, we already know you are the ringmaster in this circus!

Week in Review: The Duchess of Cambridge, 19-25 February

1. Walking the dog, 20 February.
2. Visiting schools for The Art Room, 21 February, in Orla Kiely. This is, like, half cute and half something Grandma that stopped shopping in 1978 might own. All I know is Grandma certainly wouldn't style it with SHOOTIES.

Because I know someone will object, let me define it for you:

• SHOOTIES: Anything and everything from the almost-but-not-really-just-kidding shoe-ish things up to the not-boots calf highlighters. For use by those that find them all to be fug and don't care enough to differentiate. To be said with an intonation appropriate for greeting one's archnemesis and to be written in all caps for emphasis.

Week in Review: The Duchess of Cambridge, 12-18 February

1. Visiting Liverpool, 14 February, with (a) and without (b) her coat. Your basic smart coat + dress royal uniform, can't really argue with that!

Week in Review: The Duchess of Cambridge, 5-11 February

1. Out and about, 6 February.
2. Opening an exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery, 8 February. A little full skirt flair? I'm all for that.
