How to dress like a princess (Kate Middleton, to be exact)

When I ask clients which celebrity's style they admire the most, one name continually pops up: Kate Middleton. Sure, she is the Duchess of Cambridge and has a style wardrobe that even Vogue would be jealous of, but there are still budget-friendly ways to imitate her style - with or without the fancy title.

Kate's style is so enviable because she always looks put-together. Whether she is strolling the beach with Pippa or making a royal appearance with her prince, she makes sure her clothes are a good FIT, that the COLORS are a good match for her skin, and that she ties the whole look together with a THIRD PIECE.

I talk a lot about my "rule of 3's" - when you are wearing two items, you have clothes on, when you are wearing three items, you have an OUTFIT. Three pieces always looks for sophisticated and put-together than two. By adding a third pice (whether it be a jacket, vest, belt, scarf, etc.), you instantly pull the look together and go from "wearing clothes" to "wearing an OUTFIT."

See for yourself what a difference it makes in Kate's style. If you ever ask yourself "What would Kate wear"?. well here are some answers for you!

Stack 'em up!

While there are many "new" trends hitting the runways and streets this season, there's one "trend" that I have been loving for a long time - stacked bracelets - lots of them!

I love mixing color, texture, width, size, etc. It can make your entire outfit!

For daytime, I really love some of the braided and beaded bracelets mixed with some metal ones for a fun, bohemian vibe.

When you have jewelry this great, you can keep all of your other accessories pretty simple. Then again, whoever said "less is more" obviously didn't get to see all of the great styles we have to play with!

Here are some great bracelets and some fun ways to wear them:

Mix and match beaded, braided and metal for a fun look like this one! I love the big orange bracelet at the bottom!

Ariel Gordon "silk curb bracelet" - $108. www.arielgordonjewelry.com
Blee Inara "evil eye bracelets" - starting at $35. www.bleeinara.com

Ettika "braided satin cord with single charm" - $24. www.ettika.com

CC Skye "double wrap bracelet"  - $285. www.ccskye.com


The CC Skye bracelet from above worn by Nicole Richie. 

Devora Libin "rubber skull bracelets" - $85 each. www.devoralibinjewels.com

Shashi "chan luu braided wrap bracelet" - $168. www.intermixonline.com

Happy shopping and happy stacking!
