Kate Enjoys Walks In Swiss Mountains + Topshop Purchase

Kate was photographed enjoying a walk in the Swiss mountains on Sunday afternoon following a post-celebratory brunch with friends.

The Duchess was accompanied by three protection officers, and a tourist from Germany who was walking with his wife said: "She was walking down the hill with three men. She was very sweet and smiled at people who looked at her. She seemed to be taking in the scenery." Not far from where Kate was walking William, Harry and friends were seen skiing.

William, Kate and Harry attended the wedding of Mark Tomlinson and Laura Bechtolsheimer yesterday and stayed in the bride's grandfather's hotel, the five star Tschuggen Grand Hotel.

More from the Daily Mail Story:

'A suite at the luxurious hotel costs up to £2,450 a night and includes the use of a private ski lift. Guests found skis and poles in their rooms - while a traditional wooden toboggan was provided for the pregnant Duchess. While Prince William and Harry went skiing on Friday, Kate picked the relatively safer option of sledging with a friend and her baby. Locals said she laughed out loud as she sped down a one-kilometre-long winding slope.'

Daily Kate Middleton over at What Kate Wore FB quickly identified Kate's white printed top with a bow on the shoulder as a Zara piece. Unfortunately, it is sold out now. It's a pretty piece which works well for the Duchess at this stage of her pregnancy.

Kate was spotted by a fellow shopper at Tesco wearing the top last year.

Kate avoided snow glare with her Givenchy Sunglasses. They are currently reduced from £186 to £131.95 at Smart Buy Glasses.

The wonderful ladies over at What Kate Wore identified Kate's boots as the OSCAR Giada Ecol Fur Apres Boots. They are Italian made and available for £145.

Kate also wore black jeans. She accessorised with earrings and a watch, we very rarely see Kate wearing a watch and it's a piece I've not seen before. Perhaps she treated herself to a watch in Switzerland (it being world famous for it's watches and clocks).

The Duchess appeared to be carrying her Temperley Odele Sheepskin Coat.

Kate's walk made the cover of tomorrow's Metro.

A lovely reader who is in Arosa, Switzerland and had the opportunity to meet William, Kate and Harry very kindly shared his thoughts on the Duchess. It's very insightful and for those of you who didn't see it in the comments I think you will enjoy it!

'I also think it is brilliant to introduce the hotel where the 4 days of wedding celebration took place. Its such a nice hotel worth looking at, especially the huge 5000sqm Spa where Kate enjoyed some relaxing "pre birth wellness" treatments and got her hair done.

I was in Arosa and honestly I only had eyes for her gorgeous shoes, I didn't spend one look at her belly, as like I said above these royal things are not in my normal interest. Getting to know her, her husband and his brother personally was a great honor. The press is right when telling that they respected the wedding celebration and acted very normal like everyone else of the 250 wedding guests. I can tell you that the coat was more like a cream-brownish color (the photos are looking a bit different from the real color) and that the buttons were "fake" ones. The coat was some kind of wool as it felt very soft. She was much taller than I thought she'd be, with the shoes she is about 1.90m...! Kate has a kind of gorgeous presence when she steps into the room, very classy, relaxed and totally friendly without any "royal" distance in her behavior. I was speechless.
And about William having some pounds more...after the long wedding celebration from Thursday onwards until today, I am sure all of the guests will have some more an their ribs =) But he was not chubby at all, again the photos look different from the reality.'

As many of you know, Kate was spotted in Topshop last week. US Weekly reports the Duchess purchased a sweet flowered frock by U.K. based concession brand Lovestruck. She purchased the £37 Deirdre Dress a delicate spring dress with a forties feel. The dress is not available on the Topshop website at present but is available at Lovestruck.

Actor and comedian Cheech Marin wrote a wonderful piece about the night Kate asked him to dance at St. Andrews. Well worth a read, and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I expect Kate will flying back to London tomorrow for Tuesday's visit to Grimsby. I'll see you then (unless there's another unexpected sighting :)).
