Kate Has 5 New Favourite Accessories, and They're So Fashion

Some watch planes and others trainspot, but our pastime of choice is patiently waiting to see which delights Kate Middleton will serve up next. Of course, we've always been fans of her polished style, but there's no denying she's had her strongest string of looks over the last few months. 

From the top-to-toe berry ensemble that she wore to Princess Eugenie's wedding to the dress she and Sarah Jessica Parker have in common, we can't find fault with any of her latest ensembles. However, the thing that's taken Kate's outfits to the next level is undoubtedly her new, more trend-led accessories. 

Kate often finds comfort in minimal clutch bags, nude pumps and simple jewels, but recently she's been experimenting with more directional extras, all of which just so happen to be perfect for party season, too.
