Royal Tour of North America: Day 1 - Landing in Ottawa



The Eagle has landed!
Ehrm...well...the Duchess has, anyway.
William and Kate just arrived in Ottawa for the start
of their tour of Canada and Los Angeles.


Gone was Kate's version of stewardess chic, replaced by a chic lace shift--the Erdem Cecile dress. I like the choice. Photos via The Daily Mail UK.

Accessory-wise Kate went with the L.K. Bennett Sledge2 pumps, that mystery nude clutch and her hair styled half up, likely a real help in the wind.


Kate also wore the cabochon sapphire earrings she sported at her official engagement announcement at Clarence House (worn with that iconic blue Issa dress). According to Diana's Jewels these earrings feature "a sapphire oval cabochon set in yellow gold bezel hangs from a bezel set diamond stud."


The site also points out that this isn't the first time we've seen the earrings. Also, they're part of a set--Kate sported the necklace to the wedding of Lady Rose Windsor in 2008. And, seriously, we know there's been a lot of Waifey Katey talk lately, but the girl has never been big. What we can't get over is her face. Sometimes she looks like a completely different person. No? Just us?
