Synopsis

The moment Kate Middleton stepped in front of the camera with her then fiancé Prince William to announce their engagement, a style icon was born. The electric blue Issa dress she wore on that day sold out in just 24 hours and sparked an international trend in "little blue dresses." Classic and ladylike, yet fresh and youthful, the Duchess of Cambridge's style has been like a breath of fresh air in a world that seemed to have forgotten the undeniable appeal of dressing like a lady.

Now, author and lifestyle writer Caroline Jones captures that elusive style and tells us just how to create it in our own wardrobes. In Kate's Style, Jones offers a range of tools for achieving the Duchess's celebrated look. Readers will find--

A directory of her favorite retailers and designers

A fabulous collection of full page photos showcasing Kate's most iconic outfits, complete with pointers on how to recreate the look.
