The Duchess of Cambridge has been pictured wearing French Sole ballerina flats on her off-duty occasions.
Apparently the Duchess’s favourite style is the Henrietta. See dailymail article.She is supposedly wearing a brown croc printed design in the Henrietta style in the above picture. The next picture shows the same style she is wearing but in pink.
French Sole describes Henrietta (pictured above) as follows:“Suits a narrow to medium width fitting, has an elegant low vamp, revealing a little toe cleavage, and has a quarter inch heel. It is generous in length and is a well-balanced elegant ballet flat wardrobe essential. Available up to size 42 and 44 on classic styles.”
unfortunately I have not been able to get a size 42 in the Henrietta style because it’s always sold out. Instead I have several pairs of the Sturdy and Square Toe.
The Duchess of Cambridge has been pictured wearing LK Bennett’s Sledge Patent Leather Platform Court Shoe in light taupe numerous times.

The Sledge are way too high for me and so LK Bennett suggests the Sybila Patent Leather Platform Shoe . LK Bennett says “Sybila is an lower version of the perennial favourite Sledge shoe. With a medium-heel and almond-toe, this reinvention is defined by a subtle platform, creating a more fashion-forward statement silhouette. Designed to be trans-seasonal, with its lovely patent leather finish this chic shoe can be worn year round. Heel Height: 65mm. Width: Standard”
Based on the suggestion by LK Bennett customer service, I ordered the Sybil…

Chanel describes the Complete Correction Cream aka (CC) cream as ‘a completely original creation. A fusion of skincare and makeup. The double know-how of CHANEL Research and the Makeup Studio. Backed by true expertise regarding the precise needs of Asian women in terms of flawless skin. With its CHANEL signature, CC Cream combines 5 actions in 1 single step:
Within moments, skin appears flawless and glows with a natural beauty. The complexion is visibly even-toned, fresh and radiant. CC Cream delivers complete correction and natural-looking, long-wear makeup. An ideal cream for day-long confidence with a lightweight, non-oily, comfortable texture.’
BB creams are all the rage in Asia, so I was puzzled that Chanel had not jumped onto the BB wagon. But I did some research and discovered that Chanel had indeed produced a CC cream last year. Unfortunately it was only available in China. Reviews were on the whole positive. Since January 2013, the CC cream should be available Asia-wide.
