Fashion patriotism..

Another Canada Day related post..

Note: I have also joined the bandwagon of royal obsession every since Kate Middleton has stepped up her fashion palette. No one does high fashion conservative elegance like this new royal; the girl was born for this role!

Reiss dress

Her red hat fascinator is by her favourite milliner Sylvia Fletcher for Lock & Co. The red maple leaf motif and matching red shoes is a little quirky to say the least, but somehow it doesn't even look that ridiculous on Kate. I'm not sure I know anyone else on the planet that could exude such class wearing a 3D pop-up emblem atop their head. Seriously.


To complete the look she is wearing a Reiss dress, red shoes, and a diamond maple leaf broach borrowed from the Queen.

Royal engagement photos

And on a side note, this dress may look familiar to the fashion savvy! To show us yet again that her Monolo's are firmly planted on the ground, this dress is a royal recycle; from her official engagement photos.
