While I know I’m not the only girl in the world that has an absolute obsessive crush on Kate Middleton,  I can’t help but think she has such a classic, sophisticated style, poise and beauty that few modern girls possess.  

I have often thought that her understated shoe selection always seem perfectly suited for her subtly elegant ensambs and recently learned that her secret for stylishly simple shoes is London boutique L.K. Bennett.  

L.K. Bennett has a fairly new boutique at the shops at 900 N. Michigan, here in Chicago, and I popped in recently feeling defeated after the months-long hunt for a perfect black patent pump.   L.K. Bennett’s  Sledge pump was a quick and easy winner.  [Happens to be the same style of Kate’s often worn nude pumps.]

And how could I pass up these cuties [on sale, no less]!  

While I am a mere commoner, I must say I feel a bit like royalty in my new pumps, thanks to L.K. Bennett!
