| Posted: 30 Dec 2019 11:40 PM PST From extravagant gala dinners to overseas tours and everyday royal engagements, the Duchess of Cambridge requires an extensive wardrobe that would challenge even the most devoted shopper. And now FEMAIL can reveal that the Kate Middleton has worn new clothing worth a grand total of £103,075 in 2019, an increase on her 2018 total of £68,334.23, but less than 2017, when she wore new clothing to the value of £119,000. This year saw a change in style direction for the Duchess' style, when she turned to former Vogue editor Virginia Chadwyck-Healey while her PA and informal stylist Natasha Archer was on maternity leave. 'Ginnie' has been credited with rejuvenating Kate's wardrobe and moving her away from shift dresses to sleek looks such as a Gucci blouse with wife-legged trousers. Her most expensive look was a stunning Alexander McQueen gown and new Jimmy Choo shoes at the BAFTA Awards in February, worth an estimated £4,975. But despite opting for some more expensive labels, the Duchess has been recycling more than ever for royal engagements, wearing head to-toe new looks on just nine occasions. The Prince of Wales is understood to cover the costs of Kate's wardrobes for 'work-related' engagements through his official household budget, funded by the Duchy of Cornwall, but it is not clear whether the Duchess pays full price for outfits or receives discounts. Below FEMAIL reveals the new purchases Kate has been sporting on official engagements, only taking into account the value of items that haven't been seen before in public. Where outfits have been custom-made for the Duchess of Cambridge, the price has been estimated.   Kate Middleton's, 37, shopping bill for the year has been priced at £103,075 with the royal adding seven new ball-gowns to her wardrobe (pictured left, wearing Alexander McQueen at the BAFTA British Academy Film Awards at the Royal Albert Hall in February; right, in a Jenny Packham gown in Pakistan in October)  One of the royal's more expensive outfits came in February during a trip to Ireland when she stepped out in a new items worth £4,590, including a new gown by Missoni costing £1,590 and a new jewellery set worth £3,000  The Duchess stepped out in another pricey ensemble while attending Ascot, donning a sky blue ensemble by Elie Saab worth £3, 538 and a new pair of shoes worth £545  And it wasn't just evening gowns! The Duchess of Cambridge also stepped out in a number of new fit and flare coat dresses for various occasions, including this one, estimated to be worth £3,000, at the Anzac service in April   Meanwhile on other appearances, the Duchess has cleverly woven new pieces into her wardrobe (left, wearing a new Gucci blouse with an older pair of Jigsaw trousers and, right, wearing an Erdem dress with a pair of Casteñer Carina style espadrille wedges) Kate's royal wardrobe 20196 January: Church service at Sandringham  The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrive to attend a church service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, Norfolk

But the Queen, the Duchess of Cornwall and even the Duke of Cambridge also received praised for their royal wardrobes. Now some of the internet's most avid royal fashion fans have selected their top fashion choices for the year. Kate at the Baftas  Fashion blogger Elizabeth Vollman of @Katesclosestau said Kate Middleton looked like 'a Greek goddess' at the Bafta film awards in February The duchess looked every inch a movie star in a white one-shouldered Alexander McQueen gown when she joined William at the Bafta film awards in February 2019. Fashion blogger Elizabeth Vollman of @Katesclosestau picked the red carpet outing as one of Kate's best looks, saying: 'Kate looked like a Greek goddess.' Kate in Gucci  Charlotte Crawley of @HRHDuchessKate selected the purple Gucci pussybow blouse as her favourite look of Kate's this year The duchess's departure from her go-to day dresses in favour of a lilac Gucci bow blouse - worn back to front - and high-waisted wide-leg trousers was also a hit. Charlotte Crawley of @HRHDuchessKate blog said the duchess's new style worn at the Henry Fawcett Centre in March was a surprise for royal fans. 'Kate added her own stamp to the blouse by wearing it with the buttons to the front ... It was a very fresh but professional look for her,' she said. Kate on Charlotte's first day at school  Meanwhile Christine Ross chose the Duchess of Cambridge's Michael Kors dress as her favourite look of the year Kate stepped out in a floral dress by high street American brand Michael Kors when she accompanied her daughter Princess Charlotte on her first day at Thomas's Battersea school. Royal fashion commentator Christine Ross chose this as Kate's best ensemble of the year. 'This look really showcased how masterful Kate is when choosing an outfit for an iconic photograph,' she revealed. 'Kate's bold floral dress, in red, blue, and pink, expertly co-ordinated with George and Charlotte's navy and red school uniforms.' She added: 'Although most mums don't wear heels and a dress on the school run, they still felt a connection with the future Queen taking part in a very normal parent experience.' Kate in Pakistan  Kate's Pakistan tour wardrobe was also a hit with royal commentators, with Elizabeth describing it as 'beautiful' The duchess was the epitome of royal elegance in an ombre aqua shalwar kameez as she arrived for her royal tour of Pakistan. The duchess's bespoke outfit by Catherine Walker - one of Diana, Princess of Wales's favourite designers - was fashioned with a drape which extended to the back. Elizabeth Vollman described it as beautiful, saying it reflected the culture of the host nation with a western twist. Meghan with Archie at Windsor Castle  Meghan Markle's white trench dress from Grace Wales Bonner for her first appearance with her newborn son Meghan chose a trench-style cream dress by Grace Wales Bonner for her first appearance with her newborn son. Christine Ross described it as Meghan's winning fashion moment. 'Women all around the world rejoiced seeing the Duchess of Sussex looking so normal, healthy, and beautiful in a Grace Wales Bonner dress that accentuated her three-day postpartum body,' she said. 'The creamy neutral shade of the dress popped against the dramatic Windsor Castle backdrop and co-ordinated with Archie's knitted blanket and hat.' Meghan in leather  Other fashion bloggers selected the 'ruby' leather and sweater combination as their favourite look of the year The duchess also wowed in a v-neck Joseph sweater, burgundy leather Hugo Boss skirt and Sarah Flint heels at a round table discussion on gender equality at Windsor Castle in October. Ms Crawley, who also writes the @MadAboutMeghan blog, said it was her favourite Meghan look. 'The combination of the ruby and garnet shades made for an effortlessly chic combination.' She added: 'We often see the Duchess select neutral shades - the pop of colour worked beautifully.' The Queen during Holyrood week  Queen Elizabeth II's lemon and white embroidered coat was also highlighted as a stand out look this year The monarch's lemon and white embroidered coat was classic Queen - bright block colour with a matching hat, contrasting against the red coats of the Guard of Honour during the Ceremony of the Keys at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh in June. Ms Crawley described it as a stand-out look, teamed with a 'summery floral hat and beautiful jewellery including Queen Victoria's Bow Brooch and her three stand pearl necklace'. The Queen switches to faux fur  In another fashion highlight of the year, the Queen decided to ditch real fur in new pieces in place of faux fur The monarch's decision not to use real fur in new pieces from this year onwards was hailed as a modern fashion choice. Christine Ross said: 'Although Her Majesty may continue to wear older fur pieces, this public declaration against fur pushed the conversation on ethical fashion to the forefront. 'In a subtle way, the Queen used her fashion choices to make a political statement, without ever speaking at all.' Camilla in a jumpsuit  The Duchess of Cornwall won praise when she donned a smart navy Anna Valentine jumpsuit in New Zealand in November Camilla won praise for an Anna Valentine jumpsuit debuted on her royal tour to New Zealand in November. Ms Crawley said: 'The Duchess of Cornwall looked smashing in a navy jumpsuit by one of her favourite designers... It was a lovely evening option, I particularly liked the sleeve detailing.' William in a sherwani  Prince William turned heads when he stepped out in a traditional sherwani during his tour of Pakistan in October Future king William turned heads when he stepped from a tuk tuk in Islamabad, dressed in a traditional sherwani, during his tour of Pakistan. While Kate dazzled in an emerald green gown, the duke switched up his style, wearing the knee-length buttoned teal coat made of embroidered fabric by Karachi-based designer Naushemian, rather than regular black tie.

| Tariffs on Chinese Goods Are Skirted by Some U.S. Shoppers - Wall Street Journal Posted: 31 Dec 2019 02:30 AM PST  WASHINGTON—A blue Louis Vuitton-style bag advertised by a Chinese merchant for $200 caught Andrew Carlson's eye as he scrolled Instagram. And he knew he could buy it without paying the 25% tariff that President Trump put on Chinese handbag imports in May. Since 2016, up to $800 in foreign goods shipped to an individual shopper in the U.S. are exempt from tariffs that predated the recent trade wars. The exemption allows consumers to avoid the shipping charge or higher price that American retailers often apply to recover the...  |
| I planned my wedding in 6 weeks so my dying dad could be there - The Sun Posted: 31 Dec 2019 02:15 PM PST WHEN Abbie Bailey said "yes" to her partner Jake Smith, her engagement was filled with both excitement and sadness. For the 25-year-old nurse had been devastated to learn her dad Stewart had terminal brain cancer and only a few months to live.  8 She knew that if her dream of being walked down the aisle by her dad was to happen, she needed to act fast. So she and Jake, 25, made it their mission to plan, design and organise the wedding in just SIX weeks so Stewart could be there. And on April 5 last year Abbie put on her white bridal gown, rallied her bridesmaids and walked down the aisle with her proud dad by her side. Just five days later, Stewart died. Abbie, from Telford, Shropshire, says: "It was a real whirlwind of emotions — excitement and rushing around to plan it, incredible joy on the day and unbelievable sadness when we lost Dad five days later. "I have the happiest memories of the day, and knowing one of Dad's final days was spent watching me get married, surrounded by our family and friends, is just amazing.  8 "Planning an entire wedding in six weeks, on a budget, was not an easy task, but we pulled it off and it was the best day of my life." Abbie first met Jake, a building site manager, when they were at school and they had been dating for ten years when she discovered her dad was seriously unwell, in June 2018. She recalls: "We were crushed. I decided to temporarily move out of the house I lived in with Jake and move back into the family home to help look after Dad. "I took extended leave from work and every day I spent with Dad I knew was special, as he was getting weaker and weaker every day.  8 "We didn't have a timeline for how long he had left, but we knew he wasn't strong enough to make it through the next year. "After Christmas 2018 he lost the vision in one eye and his speech became confused. "In the new year, Jake agreed that if we got engaged then, we could plan a wedding in under two months and get married so my dad could be there. "Dad was over the moon when we told him. "He'd resigned himself to never making it to see me getting married, but now he'd get to walk me down the aisle. "We didn't have much time to waste so we immediately started planning." Stunning gownWith the help of her mum Brenda, 58, a teaching assistant, and sisters Morgan, 20, and Kelly, 39, Abbie got to work on planning the big day. She says: "We always loved the idea of an outdoor wedding so we booked a yurt for the ceremony followed by a hog roast and party in a tipi. "Once we had the date and venue, we needed to tell our guests. When all 150 of them came back saying they could attend, last-minute, we were blown away. They all knew what we were going through and wanted to make our day extra special. "Instead of months searching for the perfect dress, I went to a local boutique with just four weeks to go and found a stunning gown covered in glitter and bought it there and then.  8 "A local company created a pale pink veil for me and I ordered a beautiful bouquet of wild flowers and pheasant feathers from a local florist. "My five best friends were bridesmaids and, after I decided on my colour scheme of cream, we found beautiful dresses for them online. "Decorations were shipped in, speeches were written days before and on the day of the wedding, I couldn't believe we'd pulled it off.

The best kids' clothing brands, according to a shopaholic mom - New York Post
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you buy through our links. Explore More I have a confession: When it comes to clothing, I've always had a bit of a shopping problem (maybe, not so much a problem for a commerce reporter). And then, when I had my daughter and was introduced to the world of children's fashion, that problem turned into a fully-fledged addiction. Fun-sized fashion piis just irresistible; like the vibrant colors from Tea Collection, patterns from Hanna Andersson, and adorable accessories from Boden. And since children's clothing is smaller by nature, and uses far less material, pieces typically retail for just a fraction of the price. Those are some excellent savings (per, girl math.) Whether you have a newborn, tiny tot or rambunctious tween, there are many options. Some of my personal favorites: knit hats, baby joggers, denim ove...
