HUGE news!

It’s been confirmed by the royal palace that Prince William and the lovely Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton are expecting their first child!

Reports suggest that palace officials had to officially break the news after Kate was admitted to a London hospital for treatment for a severe form of morning sickness. Since their fairytale wedding last April, the media and public alike have been waiting for this news.

 According to the New York Daily News, the Kate fueled pregnancy rumors in September during a trip to Singapore for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee tour – she was photographed drinking glasses of water instead of the champagne being served.

So exciting! 🙂

There’s no denying Middleton’s fierce sense of style. According to people.com, on Friday, the Duchess was photographed playing field hockey in glam 3″ boots with students as part of a visit to her childhood prep school, St. Andrew’s in Berkshire, England. If there’s anyone who can rock a pair of heeled boots while playing field hockey, it’s definitely Kate. 🙂

Paired with a chic coat from Alexander McQueen, there’s no doubt her boots are on the pricey side. 🙂 If you’re still looking for a pair of black boots for the season, here’s some similar looks for less with enough style –they’re fit for a queen!

All eyes will be on you in this chic boot. The extended shaft over the heel and instep gives it a fashion-forward cuffed look – a 3″ heel lends both height and wear-ability to the style. At $89.99, this boot is a style steal!

I love the strap and buckle accent on this boot – it gives it a little more of a moto-inspired edge. You get a little higher heel with this one – 3-7/8″, but its more of a “chunky” heel which gives it a little added stability. Also notable with this style is the full-length back zipper closure –you’ll be able to step in and out of it with ease. Love!
