Kate in DVF Zarita Dress for Wedding; New Engagement; Winter Wonderland with George & More

Hello-Hello, we have a quick post tonight sharing several interesting stories!

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the wedding of friends Tom Eaves and Libby Keir over the weekend. Several photos can be viewed in their entirety at the Express.

More from the Express story:

'The royal couple were flanked by seven metropolitan officers as they made their way to a waiting car. It was a weekend off from royal duties for Kate and William, who returned home after taking New York by storm during a three-day visit last week.'

The wedding took place at Chelsea Old Church - located on the same road where Kate previously lived at the former Middleton home in West London.

The dress code for the wedding was obviously black tie and Kate looked effortlessly stylish in her Diane von Furstenberg Zarita Gown. The Duchess debuted the stunning dress for the Royal Variety Performance last month.

The delicate gown, crafted from sheer lace features a v-back and is fitted with a slim band around the waist that flatters the silhouette. It is still available in limited sizes on the DVF website and in navy at Matches.

It's always nice to see Kate changing up a look or putting her own stamp on it and I thought her £135 Cashmere Mix Tartan Wrap in Claret by Really Wild Clothing worked very well with the dress and her loose hair, giving it a somewhat more informal feel compared to the first time she wore it. For those wishing to purchase the wrap, it will be restocked in February.

Kate completed the look with her black beaded vintage clutch by Magid and unidentified black suede pumps.

We'll update the post when/if more details about the wedding emerge!

Many readers have asked when we'll see the Duchess next. It turns out it's much sooner than we expected. Tomorrow, the Duchess of Cambridge will attend a meeting of the newly established 23rd Poplar Beaver Scout Colony in Bow, London. Kate will meet volunteers, leaders and help with activities before awarding badges to the Beavers.

Kate has been volunteering publicly and privately with the scouts for some time now and it's nice to see the relationship continue.

What else has the Duchess been getting up to? Like most of us, Christmas preparations are more than likely demanding plenty of attention before the festivities get underway. Kate treated Prince George to a seasonal day out last Friday at London's Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park where the two enjoyed a spin on the traditional teacup amusement ride.

More from People's story:

'George was smiling and laughing as they went 'round and round together' an onlooker tells People. "He was really enjoying the ride with his mom. You could see it in his little face - he looked so happy."'

The annual fair is a firm favourite on the festive calendar for families in London. It features a skating rink, Santa's workshop, a number of fairground rides and a Christmas market. It's very conveniently located within close proximity of Kensington Palace.

George was dressed in an adorable white outfit while the Duchess donned a baseball cap.

It's great to hear they were able to enjoy a family outing privately and it sounds like they had a splendid time.

The Duchess was also spotted Christmas shopping at Peter Jones in Sloane Square yesterday.

Moving on to fashion updates concerning one of Kate's looks from New York.

The wonderful Anna from My Small Obsessions has identified Kate's gorgeous earrings as the Kenneth Jay Lane Silvertone Crystal Earrings. The striking earrings originally retailed for €262 before going on sale for €52 at The Outnet. It's interesting to see the Duchess selected another American designer for the tour, and what a superb choice they were.

Several readers got in touch with queries about Kate's Beulah London Amara Dress. I spoke with the lovely ladies at Beulah yesterday and they said a white version of the lace dress will be released in the summer, however, if anyone wishes to place a special order that can also be arranged. The black version of the dress can now be ordered with a 4-6 week delivery period.
