A fashion endorsement from Kate Middleton is all it takes for a brand (or three) to launch stateside. Case in point: today’s Coast, Oasis and Warehouse U.S. e-commerce site launch after the Duchess of Cambridge was seen sporting their looks last year. We call it the Kate Middleton phenomenon. You can refer to it as great fashion news.

But even if you don’t follow Kate’s every fashion move (I only judge a little), you will love the brands’ affordable fashion (all dresses on the UK sites run for under $250) and accessories. Expect lots of bold prints and bright colors, short dresses and fun shoes. But see for yourself in the above slideshow of our favorite looks and

What’s next on the Coming To U.S. Soon list? Can we hope for a Whistles launch? For more of Duchess of Cambridge’s style shop Kate Middleton’s Rebecca Taylor Skirt Suit and Kate Middleton’s Maja DVF Dress.

Copying celebrity style is nothing new: it’s been a sport since movies were first made. With all of the trends out there right now–neon, tribal, and prints galore–there’s something to be said for the classic girl who’s into really investing in her closet. There are just some women who know just what to wear – and 50 years later, they still look au courant. They’re movie stars mostly, with a costume crew, but still: we have a lot to learn from them. After the jump, see the 10 movie looks we love, plus how to copy them right now to get that effortless chic look that seems so elusive.

Besides the ever popular platform wedges this spring (which are oddly uncomfortable at times), a girl’s go to stylish comfort shoe has always been the wedge pump. Ideal for milling around the office, attending meetings, and generally “being all professional,” the wedge pump — open or closed toe — gives you needed height without the pinching pain of stilettos or sky-high pumps. Although we love ourselves some funky tribal wedges for a night out, they aren’t exactly office appropriate.

So, what’s a working girl supposed to do when the clock strikes 6 pm, and she turns into a social butterfly. We have your shoe answers here. These wedges are classic and comfortable without feeling stuffy. Moving from your gray walled offices to the apres city work scene (a.k.a. a bar), these wedges are your new best friend.

1. A classic pair of tortoise shell sunglasses are meant for the ladies of the world (you!) and definitely worth investing in or snag a cheaper pair and lose the worry of losing them. Either way, onlookers will be blinded by your chic never fading style.

2. Bold stripes always make a fun, fresh statement. And with the wacky spring weather, the pinterest community is LOVING this J.Crew coat.

3. Printed Shorts are a must have – and the options of colors, prints, and patterns are endless. Choose one, choose all.

4. Give your barking dogs some love in tribal print wedges meant to rock the outfit and soothe the soles (literally, comfort is practically built into these wedges).

5. Take a tip from style guru Jessica Alba and get on board with the neon, colored jean trend. Why stop at one?

6. The best transitional piece of the season? The maxi skirt. Dress up with heels or down with flat sandals, either way, you will look and feel fashion forward.
