Kate Middleton is appearing on CBeebies Bedtime Story on a TV screen near you this weekend. It was announced the Duchess would read The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark at 6.50pm this Sunday 13th February.

To celebrate, Kensington Palace released a still from the show, a picture of Kate sitting cross-legged on a blanket in what appears to be a garden at nighttime, surrounded by soft toys.

She dressed cosily for the occasion, in a Fairisle jumper and light blue jeans, an ensemble that is just perfect for this weather.

The jumper costs £179 and is from one of her favourite labels, Holland Cooper.It's knitted from a soft yarn and features a Fairisle pattern and gold buttons on the shoulders and sleeves.

Kate's jeans are by & Other Stories, and while it's difficult to tell when she is sitting down, I think they are the straight leg jeans below.

She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
