She's getting set to walk down the aisle next year so the next few months are certainly going to keep Pippa Middleton busy.
And the Duchess of Cambridge's little sister looked like she had plenty on her mind as she ran errands in her Chelsea stomping ground in London on Tuesday.
Displaying her toned legs in a black and white patterned mini skirt, the 33-year-old brunette bride-to-be looked chic as she navigated the pavement.

Pippa, who is getting set to marry hedge fund manager James Matthews, 40, next year, wrapped up warm in a bright orange coat and offset her look with edgy biker boots.
The party planner and author shielded her eyes from the winter sun with sunglasses and seemed rather engrossed in her phone during her outing.
Pippa's outing comes after fashion designer Giles Deacon spent two hours inside her home showing her dresses.
Deacon, 47, who designed Abbey Clancey's wedding dress when she married footballer Peter Crouch in 2011, was snapped visiting the Duchess of Cambridge's sister's home in London.

Opt for orange in a chic collarless coat like Pippa
Winter dressing is a bit of a nightmare, isn't it? A battle between wanting to be warm (it's so cold!) and wanting to be trendy. One royal who seems to have nailed the autumnal aesthetic is none other than Pippa Middleton.
Running errands in Chelsea, Pippa was seen wearing a burnt orange collarless coat - an old Zara number (always the case, isn't it?!) that originally retailed for £80 - teamed with a printed dress, tights and a pair of suede, double-buckle ankle boots. Topping off her practical but pretty look? A Gucci bamboo mini shoulder bag, of course.

The photographs come after fans speculated about the dress she would wear when she revealed that she is to marry hedge fund manager James Matthews, 40, next year.
Mr Matthews went down on one knee with a £200,000 4 carat asscher-cut ring during a weekend in Lake District in August. Â
And Deacon - who is best known for his critically-acclaimed playful designs - spent around two hours inside Pippa's home.
Although it is not clear what was inside the dress bag, the meeting comes after several top bridal designers shared their versions of what they believe she should wear on her big day.Â

Sources have suggested that Pippa has been touring high society bridal boutiques, including Suzanne Neville's Knightsbridge shop - where dresses can cost £10,000
Fashion experts have suggested that Deacon - who worked for Gucci before setting up his own label GILES in 2003 - should be the one who designs the dress.
The experienced designer, who grew up in Ullswater in the Lake District, has made clothes for a host of A-list celebrities including Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson, 31.
He also considers Westworld actress Thandie Newton, 44, and Princess Beatrice, 28, as his clients.Â
And his visit to Miss Middleton's home is likely to spark more speculation that he is making the dress for her, or that he was showing the bride-to-be a number of different designs.
His assistant was also photographed holding a large dress bag when she left the property with him. Â

Pippa and James have reportedly set a date for the big day, and will reveal all to family and friends around Christmas time.
She is reportedly having some luxurious 'Save The Date' invitations made, which will be sent to loved ones inside their festive cards.Â
Sources have also suggested that Pippa has been touring high society bridal boutiques, including Suzanne Neville's Knightsbridge shop – where dresses can cost £10,000.

The couple became engaged after Pippa began properly dating the handsome hedge fund manager, who is the brother of Made In Chelsea's Spencer Matthews.
He asked Pippa's father for permission for his daughter's hand before popping the question, which apparently took the former party planner completely by surprise.
MailOnline has contacted Deacon for comment.Â
