When we heard that Fergie was expecting a baby Black Eyed Pea, we were on the edge of our seats waiting to see how the famously funky star‘s maternity style would play out. Luckily she didn’t keep us waiting long, stepping out with husband Josh Duhamel Tuesday in a shearling bomber jacket, yellow sweater dress and circular sunglasses.

“It’s clear to see how happy they are,” a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE. ”They are really excited.” And we are really excited to see how her outfits fit into the range of maternity style — from low-key to high-wattage — that we’ve been spotting from L.A. to London.

It was one of the great love stories of our time: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and her favorite J Brand “811″ skinny jeans. She and her jeans went everywhere together, from Canada to Edinburgh to the Olympics.

And as anyone who’s found the perfect pair of denim can attest, the relationship between a girl and her jeans is often an emotional one, which is why we were scooping ourselves some consolation ice cream when we heard the news: Kate may be looking for a new jeans relationship.

An eagle-eyed shopper spotted Kate sneaking around on her J Brands at a Gap in London’s posh Sloane Square neighborhood, checking out (gasp) jeggings. But hold the heartbreak for the moment: she ended up passing because nothing was the right length on her.

We’ve always admired the Duchess’s affordable finds, plus we admit we appreciate Gap jeggings for their great fit (and high stretch quotient — and we’re not even pregnant!)

But since we hate to see a great love end, we’ll just remind Kate that J Brand makes maternity styles and hope they can come to a reconciliation. Tell us: Are you sad to witness this breakup?

The frugal fashionista strikes again!

Duchess Kate may look a little, well, different in her official portrait, but her outfit (at least what we can see of it) is divine. And affordable!

French Connection announced today that they designed Kate’s silk tie-neck blouse, which features hidden buttons and cap sleeves. It retails for $118 — but as with all things the mom-to-be wears, it’s almost sold out: only a few sizes in white remain.

The portrait, done by artist Paul Emsley, took nearly four months to create, as he worked off of photographs he’d taken.

By now, you’re probably well aware that the Duchess of Cambridge turns 31 today (we get a little excited about her here!), and we couldn’t let the day pass without talking about her amazing sense of style. Kate always looks great — even before she became a Duchess she was dressing well — but with her first year of marriage down and a big baby announcement, we think 2012 was truly her best fashion year yet. From the sexy gowns she wore in London in early 2012 and the casual frocks she chose for the Olympics, to the oh-so-appropriate dresses she donned in Asia and the stunning gown she wore last month, she really knocked it out of the park. And we noticed. So in honor of the Duchess’s big day, check out our gallery of her 31 best looks of last year. Tell us: Which of Kate’s recent dresses was your favorite?
