Royal Tour of North America: Day 7 - Slave Lake

Today was supposed to be a day off for William and Kate, but instead the royals decided to visit the town of Slave Lake in Alberta, which has been ravaged by fire. This has to be one of our favourite Kate looks so far.

Kate looked chic in those cropped navy J Brand 811 Mid Rise Skinny Jeans, her Dolce Vita slingback espadrilles, a still-to-be-ID'd ruffle blouse and the navy Smythe blazer she wore when leaving Heathrow.

Kate was wearing the same Linda Camm belt she has sported before.

UPDATE: 08-07-11 - Pied A Terre posted the following on their Facebook:

"There seems to be some confusion over Kate Middleton's shoes. To clarify there are pictures of her wearing both Imperia (last seasons style) and Ivy P (this seasons style). They are very similar, practically identical. For those who love this look, Ivy P comes in black and cream (£75). However online its only available in cream at present...check the website for more stock."

We're still not convinced the above shoes are the Ivy P,

rather they look like the Imperia, but we'll let it go.

UPDATE: 11-28-11 - After nearly going blind trying to source Kate's ruffle blouse we're happy to report that Clare (via WKW) has ID'd it. The chiffon ruffle blouse that the Duchess of Cambridge wore under her Smythe blazer in Slave Lake is from Lauren by Ralph Lauren.

Royal Tour of North America: Day 5 - Charlottetown, PEI

Braving Charlottetown's rain and humidity (you can really tell Kate's hair is actually curly today!), William and Kate participated in quite a few activities this afternoon including a dragon boat race. Kate changed out of her earlier McQueen and into a pair of cropped J. Brand 811 skinny jeans, Dolce Vita slingback wedges, and the Jinan navy trench from that we've seen before, pre-pre-wedding. 

We also saw Kate as the proud wife...

...snapping her own pics as Prince William completed helicopter maneuvers.

Kate added a red scarf and her sapphire earrings to her jeggings look.

We're not even going to speculate on the white shirt she's wearing underneath.

Later William and Kate participated in that dragon boat race (Wills won) and we got to see a hug from the couple. We love seeing this side of Kate and the royals--real, laidback, happy.

Kate sported a Nike windbreaker, her Kiki Mcdonough citrine earrings and

Sebago deck shoes (thanks to the Duchess of Cambridge Style for the shoe ID!)

Royal Tour of North America: Day 1 - Bird Print Issa at BBQ

In the evening of Day 1 of the royal tour of Canada, Kate Middleton debuted a third outfit. This time it was a pretty bird print dress and wedge sandals for a BBQ.

Dress look familiar?

The Issa bird-print dress is the same one Kate was spotted wearing outside the Goring Hotel the night before her wedding along with her Maddox wedges and a white BCBG cardi jacket.

Kate's slingback wedges at the Canadian BBQ look a lot like Pied A Terre's Ivy P or Imperia, although the company has yet to confirm. Pied A Terre has stated that the Ivy is "nearly identical" and made no mention of the Imperia (above), which we think is likely the real match.

UPDATE: Kate's slingback wedges have been confirmed as Pied A Terres by the company, but they're saying the Ivy, which we're still not sure about. Most likely the Ivy is the current model available and that's what the company is now trying to sell as the Duchess of Cambridge's slingback wedges.

Kate's gold leaf earrings are by Vinnie Day.

We have yet to ID the Duchess' disc necklace,

let us know if it looks familiar to you!

Kate's Last Minute Wedding Preparations

Kate Middleton was spotted in a casually chic ensemble while dashing around making some last minute preparations for the big day. Clad in a soft pink, cowl-necked sweater, skinny jeans, and a streamlined white blazer, Kate didn't seem to be showing signs of strains. Rather nary a hair was out of place. Kate accessorized with her brown Prada bowler bag and Dolce Vita espadrille slingback wedges.

We're pretty sure that Kate's pink sweater looks a lot like this Cashmere Cowl Neck Tunic from John Lewis. No confirmation on that, though.
