It's Anne Hathaway and Sarah Jessica Parker's lucky day.

Why? Because their admitted style obsession Kate Middleton's go-to footwear designer has opened a store in New Jersey—just a quick hop over for these stylish New Yorkers.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know exactly which label we're talking about...

It's L.K. Bennett.

The Duchess of Cambridge has catapulted the London-based company into the spotlight by favoring its shoes for many of her public appearances—including the black wedges she wore the day after her fairy-tale I-dos, the pink peep-toe sandals paired with her dazzling Jenny Packham gown at the Absolute Return for Kids gala, and the dependable nude patent leather pumps HRH has worn at seemingly every other outing.

L.K. Bennett also has boutiques in Chicago and Atlanta, in addition to mini boutiques at select Bloomingdale's, but this is the first free-standing store to open in the Northeast—at the Shops at Riverside in Hackesack, N.J., to be exact.

"We have over 100 stores in the U.K. now," said CEO Robert Bensoussan in a statement, "and in the long term, we'd like to have the same number of stores in the U.S."
