Royal Tour Fashion: Day 11

Well as enthralling as it has been following the fashion minutiae of the royal tour to North America you will be relieved to know that it finally drew to a close yesterday and Will & Kate are safely back home in the UK (I only wish I had the pictures to prove that less you fear these tedious fashion posts go on forever).  

A quick review of Kate's many fabulous outfits and what I should have done in the first place - a grand collection of pictures at the end.

Royal Tour Fashion: Day 10

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrive for a charity polo match in Santa Barbara earlier today.  Kate is wearing a hand-painted silk dress by Jenny Packham.

It was LK Bennett again for the shoes (this time the Sliver Sandal in dark taupe) and the now quite familiar Natalie clutch.

Two different versions of the Jenny Packham dress on the catwalk last year.

I thought Prince William deserved a special mention here as he does look rather spiffy in his polo gear, don't you think.

Then in the evening Kate wears Alexander McQueen to a Bafta event at the Belasco Theatre in Los Angeles.

The well-heeled sparkle provided by a pair of silver Jimmy Choo Vamps is bound to silence the the naysayers who have been seriously distressed with some of her mummsy shoe choices to date.  Just for good measure, the Ubai clutch is Jimmy Choo as well.

Now, for those of you who are as exhausted as I am with my royal tour fashion posts (as much as I do love the fashion, it is seriously changing me reporting on this everyday!), rest easy as the tour is almost over!

Phew.

Royal Tour Fashion: Day 9

Kate arrived in California wearing a grey Roksanda Ilincic dress which beautifully complimented the red, white and blue posey handed to her by the Governor's wife when they arrived.

For a reception at the home of the Consul General she changed into easily my favourite outfit of the tour so far - a gorgeous lawn Maja dress by Diane von Furstenberg.  Loved it so much, if it had still been available in my goal (dream?) size I would have bought it tonight here.

100% silk woven with flat gold-brushed buttons down the back.

Was momentarily tempted to buy it in an even smaller (but available) size (forget dream size we're talking fantasy size) but was fortunately jolted back into reality by the sane thought that it was perhaps a little too much money to put down for a dress I may never (nor should I!) fit into.

Royal Tour Fashion: Day 8

Well it seems we shall have to wait another day for the glamour because aside from a pretty yellow Jenny Packham frock we missed at Calgary airport yesterday, it was all about the rodeo today.

Kate wears an Alice Temperley blouse, Goldsign jeans and her own cowboy boots.

Royal Tour Fashion: Day 7

Well it seems Day 7 was a casual one for Kate with the couple making an unscheduled visit to Slave Lake in Alberta, where more than 40% of the town was destroyed by fire in May.

She's wearing the navy Roland Mouret blazer she had on when the couple left from Heathrow a few days ago.

After well and truly exhausting myself with these posts I am actually really looking forward to some glamour fashion at the BAFTA dinner in Los Angeles tomorrow night.

Royal Tour Fashion: Days 5 & 6

The other good thing about missing my posting hrs in the evening yesterday was you were spared another full report on royal tour fashion and I have mercifully combined Days 5 & 6 into the one post without any commentary.  You're welcome.
