Kate – The American Odyssey
The North American tour continued as Kate and Wills waved Canada a fond farewell and set off to charm America. All eyes were on the beautiful Duchess who had held Canada in the palm of her hand with her easy smile, charming manners and fabulous fashion. Could she now do the same in America…and, more importantly, what would she wear? A little bit of Roksanda As a huge fan of Roksanda Ilincic, I was really hoping that Kate would wear one of her fabulous dresses, and so I was over the moon as Kate stepped off the plane wearing the blue/grey Peridot dress. This was a great look for Kate,…

Duchess Kate’s final Canadian looks take a cowgirl twist.
The Canadian leg of the royal tour came to an end with the Calgary stampede, which saw Duchess Kate in a white leather Stetson, cowboy boots and bootcut jeans. Dressing perfectly to fit the occasion, Kate reminded me of Elizabeth Taylor in Giant as she enjoyed the Calgary festivities. Kate wore two pretty blouses by Alice Temperley from her resort 2012 collection. The first was a pretty blue and white embroidered blouse with a real Country and Western feel to it. Kate teamed this with a pair of bootcut jeans from Goldsign – the Passion bootcut style that saw a move away from the J Brand skinnies that she seemed…

Kate’s casual looks in Canada.
After days of impeccable and super smart outfits, the Canadian royal tour has taken a turn for the casual! Kate has now been seen in her skinny fit J Brand skinny fit jeans on no less than 4 occasions, as she has toured more remote territories and has taken part in sporting activities. The J Brand jeans seem to be Kate’s new jeans of choice, rather than the Hudson jeans she wore lots before the wedding. But I really like how Kate has styled them for the tour. Most recently she has worn the dark denim with the Smythe jacket that she travelled to Canada in, giving another shout-out to…

Meanwhile…In Pippa land.
The rise and rise of Pippa Middleton appears to be gathering pace with her unveiled as the cover girl for the August Edition of Tatler. Using a beautiful image of the world’s most famous bridesmaid in a decoupage style setting, Pippa is the second Middleton girl to get a Tatler cover this year. Pippa’s profile continues to grow. The BBC is apparently desperate to get her to appear on Strictly Come dancing this Autumn, whilst R&B charmer Usher is apparently keen to use her charms for his new underwear range. Her appearances at Wimbledon last week led to a sell out for Hobbs, when she wore the Wyldes red linen…

The Duchess of Cambridge – Let’s give Kate a break.
Well, it had to happen, the knives are already out in the fashion world for Kate, Duchess of Cambridge. The always immaculate Duchess is being criticised online for her choice of wardrobe for the tour of Canada. I am beginning to feel really sorry for Kate, it seems that she really can’t please all the people, all the time. When she wears the High Street she is told she should be supporting British Designers by the likes of Vogue’s Alexandra Shulman and Grazia’s Laura Craik. When she recycles outfits there are moans about wearing something new. And now she is being accused of playing it too safe and being boring!…
