The Duchess of Cambridge is one of my personal style icons. She's regal, poised, and she just has that certain elegance that can take what would be a rather plain look on someone else, and transform it into something that is out of this world.
I doubt Vivian Rose Boutique will have it's own "Kate Middleton Effect", but she is someone I think about as I make purchases for the store. Is this princess-esque? Would the queen approve? You know, the normal stuff one thinks about as she shops.
Here are some of my personal favorite, Kate-inspired pieces...

Kate loves a statement coat, and why shouldn't she? They are an easy way to look polished and poised-even in the chilly England weather. Bonus: she wears them more than once and makes each time look fresh with new accessories.

I am sure that many of your reading this are business women. I believe that a an elegant blouse is the cornerstone of a workplace wardrobe. They can be dressed up or down. They are great for layering, and they will never go out of style.
