Kate Watch {what Kate Middleton is wearing}

I'm officially on Kate-Watch! You know I am huge fan of Her Royal Highness' fashion sense and with her tour of Canada that starts today she has completely knocked it out of the park with this gorgeous lace dress.

If you are looking to get a similar look on a dime I suggest this lace top paired with a simple pencil skirt.  This outfit comes in at under $125 total!

Olivia can always pull off stunning looks with seemingly little effort.  This outfit is no different.  At first glance a yellow dress could be difficult to accessorize - but she does it brilliantly with a dash of pink and leopard print shoes.

Jackie:

Here's a fun summer outfit is sherbert hues. Yum! Love the zig zag printed top, and cork wedges are big right now-the nude patent top on these are perfect! I paired the look with brown linen striped shorts to temper down the color a bit, and add the element of pattern on pattern that is also trending as of late.  The best thing is you can have the whole outfit for $85!

Jill:

When the temps are on the rise I still like to wear fun jewelry, but often a watch or a necklace can feel hot on your skin.  But big earrings!?!? Never!  They dangle freely and never stick to your skin!  Here are some of my top picks for summer!

Staley:

The other day when playing around on Pinterest, I spotted this amazing look with a ruffled skirt. It made me want the skirt immediately but it's no longer available, luckily I found some great alternatives that are also a little more budget-friendly!
