On day 7 of the 2011 Royal Tour, Catherine and William visited Slave Lake in Alberta.
This day of the tour was meant to be clear, free for the royal couple to rest and recoup. Instead, the duo ditched their plans visited the people of Slave Lake whose lives had been affected by the wild fires in two months prior.
Kate’s Outfit:
Kate wore a smart-casual outfit, pairing her navy Smythe jacket (from day one of the tour) with her J Brand 811 jeans.
Kate’s navy blue Smythe blazer is known as the “One Button Blazer“. It features a single button closure with two waist pockets, a chest pocket. and gold buttons.
Kate wears the J Brand 811 jeans Mid-Rise Skinny Leg style in Navy Luxe Twill.
As you can see, the Duchess wore a creamy-white chiffon shirt with ruffles down the front. Some time after the royal tour this was identified as being a piece from Lauren by Ralph Lauren.
Kate finished her outfit off with a pair of Pied-A-Terre slingback wedges. The style name is known as “Imperia“. Today, Pied-A-Terre no longer exists, but the shoe can still be purchased from the sister brand Dune.
As you can see in this photo, Kate wore her Kiki McDonough Citrine Drop earrings for the visit to Slave Lake:
She also wore her handmade leather belt by Kenyan desginer Linda Camm.

Can’t wait to find out where Kate’s blouse is from. From the one pic I saw of it, it’s not her engagement blouse from Whistles.
It’s her whistles blouse for sure!
Hmmm I’m not convinced. This picture looks nothing like this one!
Sky news has film of the Duke and Duchess crossing the tarmac to the plane.

If you can screen capture.
Btw, the wildfires did not occur last year, the town was burnt in May 2011.
Oh, that’s odd. I got that information from Wikipedia. Thanks for letting me know, I’ll edit it.
Maybe they were referencing an older fire?
That is very possible, as there are wildfires in that part of the province often. However, the one that did burn homes, etc. was in May 2011 🙂
it is so classy that they came here to this fire ravaged town on their day off (they were originally going to go to beautiful banff, ab) and then went here.
This will boost the people’s morale. God bless them.
here are some great photos from their visit in slave lake

It’s not the Whistles engagement blouse; the ruffles are completely different. I agree with Melissa – I think that it is great that they took their day off to visit with the people of Slave Lake 🙂
Do you know where the black sling backs with wedge heel are from please?
I really want a pair

the wedges are L.K. Bennet and the Blazer/Jacket is Smythes…not the blouse like it said in the first paragraph.
Oops! Will change, thanks for letting me know. That’s what happens when you’re head gets mashed from Kate overload!
