On their first official tour since returning from their honeymoon, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge jetted off on a whirlwind, nine day, 5 city tour of Canada.
Not since Oprah’s “favourite things” shows, has one person had the power to cause such a buying frenzy! As soon as Kate is photographed and the images hit the web, sites have crashed with thousands of women vying to mimic the Royals amazing style!
Below are a few of our fav picks from the Canadian visit, and a shout out to the fabulous designers of our home and native land!
Smythe (Les Vestes)

Kate arrived at Heathrow airport ready to embark on her Canadian adventure sporting this navy Smythe blazer. There was much buzz prior to the visit, that Canadian designers would be showering Kate with pieces in the hopes that she would wear their design and provide instant fame! The Toronto-based label was founded in 2004 by Andrea Lenczner and Christie Smythe, and they have already had their fair share of success, with many Hollywood mavens wearing their clothes. We love this tailored look!
Check out the Buttercup yellow blazer from Smythe, we think this would look amazing on Kate with her long dark hair. Paired with a skirt or dress as Kate has done, or with jeans, the blazer is a must have in any woman’s wardrobe!
Erdem

The navy lace “Cecile” dress from Canadian designer Erdem’s pre-spring 2011 collection is worn here by Kate as a daytime look, however, we think it would be equally as stunning as an evening cocktail dress.
Reiss

The most spectacular look (in our humble opinion!) was the white Reiss dress and red maple leaf fascinator worn by Kate on Canada Day! ALAS, Reiss is not a Canadian label, but the UK line is a particular favourite of Kate’s. In researching for this piece, we tried to check out the Reiss site, however, so must all you other fashion junkies out there, as the site was down! There isn’t enough time in this blog to cover how much we adore the fascinator....but a Red Maple Leaf Fascinator??? C’Mon! How can you not fall in love with Kate??
Kate Middleton….crashing the web one fashion site at a time…now THAT’s power! Take that Queenie
