How to: A Masterclass in Re-Mixing by the Duchess of Cambridge

Kate Middleton is clearly a fan of re-mixing* her wardrobe too and used her trip to Canada as the perfect opportunity to demonstrate her expertise and ease with which she seemingly effortlessly dons the same pair of jeans or the same pair of shoes for the third, fourth or even fifth appearance of the trip. This really is capsule packing at its most glamorous!

Princess Catherine proves that if you find the perfect pair of nude heels, they’ll see you from one outfit to another. (Note to self: must find my “perfect” pair and stick to them!) HRH’s Canada wardrobe was not particularly revolutionary but for the average girl who sets off to the office everyday, it clearly provided inspired for looking fabulous and mixing and re-using pieces for different occasions.

What did you think of the Duchess’s Royal Tour wardrobe?

*re-mixing = reusing pieces in your wardrobe and creating new outfits (see Kendi Everyday for more details)

Style Inspiration from Kate Middleton's shoe rack!

So far during her visit to Canada with her husband, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has been seen sporting a pair of Sebago boat shoes on two different occasions. If you fancy getting your hands on her style, why not snap up a pair by the New England based brand for yourself?

These Felucca Lace shoes are very similar to those that Kate wore:

Or you could go for the more iconic Docksides:

If you prefer Kate’s smarter side, why not try out her other favourite shoe brand, Nine West:

She’s been spotted in their wedges at least twice already in Canada. Here are a couple of options:

These Lazar wedges are practical and, presumably, easy to walk in:

And these Sadock wedge court shoes are elegant and chic:

Once again the Duchess chose the high street to accessorise her outfit for the occasion, with another pair of LK Bennett shoes. This time, these Classic Nude Patent Platform Court Shoes for just under £200:

Style Icon Update: Duchess of Cambridge (Kate Middleton)

Anyone else think that the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, looked fabulous and radiant when she attended the ARK Gala last night with her husband of just over a month? The Jenny Packman dress she chose for the event was beautifully intricate and understated:

Whilst the dress – with a price tag of over £2,000 – is probably out of most of our reach, the shoes she chose to accompany the dress are not. The gorgeous nude bow-embellished heels are by L.K. Bennett. I found them in black at John Lewis:

I’m just trying to figure out how I can justify adding this gorgeous pair to my already overflowing shoe racks – I know there must be a reason I need them!!

But this isn’t the first time that Catherine has chosen L.K. Bennett shoes. The morning after her wedding, as she and William strolled across the lawns of Buckingham Palace to the awaiting helicopter, she was wearing a pair of L.K. Bennett wedges:

These L.K. Bennett wedges can also be found at John Lewis:
