KATE MIDDLETON'S CALIFORNIA COUTURE STYLE RECAP!

Prince William and Princess Catherine had a very brief Northern U.S. tour, but an even briefer stay in California which was only for three days! Here's Kate Middleton's California fashion recap within those three days, six events, and five outfits!


Landing in beautiful Southern Cali, Kate premiered a dove-gray Roksanda Illincic gathered dress with nude pumps and an L.K. Bennett clutch.

Later that day, she changed into a kelly green Diane von Furstenberg belted green dress for a reception at the U.K. Consul General's home.

For her second day in the golden coast, Kate opted for a printed Jenny Packham frock and nude criss-cross L.K. Bennett heels at a Santa Barbara polo match cheering on her hubby.

That evening, the princess stunned at the BAFTA Brits to Watch Gala wearing a flowing Alexander McQueen gown, Jimmy Choo heels, and metallic clutch.

On the royals' final day in the west coast, Kate opted for a demure Lina Dobby pleated skirt and navy crochet top, paired with blue suede pumps and a tan clutch.

Farewell to the beautiful royal couple who stayed in the best coast for such a short time, especially California! I wish they would've visited Disneyland at least, such a trademark to California. I hope they come back very soon so a stay that's more vacation based along with community service based. As usual, Kate Middleton looked so stunning and demure - a great princess quality.

KATE MIDDLETON'S CANADIAN FASHION RECAP

While Kate Middleton is headed towards Southern California, we can all recap her fashion choices during her tour in Canada. She seemed very appropriately dressed in every occasion, looking well put together and showing off her signature look wearing cinched waist dresses at the knee. Kate had 9 wardrobe changes in just a few days there! Let's recap:



On Canada Day, she wore a ruffled white Reiss dress with a Sarah Fletcher maple leaf fascinator, Anya Hirchmand fan clutch, and red pumps.

She wore Montreal based designer Erdem twice in two lace-embellished looks. One was a royal blue dress with lace sleeve details landing in Quebec and the other was a full on lace dress landing in Montreal. Both looks were paired with nude L.K. Bennett pumps and matching clutch.

To visit the Canadian War Museum, Kate opted for a gray Catherine Walker dress with Peter Pan collar, Tabitha Simmons lizard pumps, and matching clutch.

During a visit to Charlottetown, she wore a sailor inspired white and navy Alexander McQueen dress with Prada pumps and hair tied back.

From Fort Levi in Quebec City to Prince Edward Island, Kate wore an off-white Joseph dress with a cropped jacket and nude pumps.

While boarding a Canada bound private yet, she wore a navy blue Roland Mouret dress with matching Smythe jacket.

For a meet and greet in Canadian youth, Kate donned a black printed Issa dress.

At a Canada Day celebration, she looked stunning in this purple Issa dress showcasing her small waist.

At a rodeo in Calvary, Kate and Will both brought their best cowboy gear. Kate donned a Western-style Temperley London blouse with jeans and a white cowboy hat.

On her last day in Canada, Kate wears a buttercup yellow dress by British designer Jenny Packham along with her nude pumps and matching clutch.

Kate Middleton is the epitome of a true princess. Not only does she have the demeanor, but she dresses the part very well. She looks amazing in absolutely everything and knows what definitely fits her style along with looking royally fit.

MARIO TESTINO - A ROYAL FASHION PROPHET

Mario Testino is a Peruvian fashion photographer who initially wanted to become a priest. In school, he was very good at math so he studied economics in college where he stood out for his flamboyant appearance wearing pink flares and platform heels with pink hair.

Moving permanently to London to pursue photography, he began shooting fashion stories for Vogue, V, and Vanity Fair. Mario has also help contributed to the imagery of leading fashion houses such as Gucci, Versace, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Calvin Klein, Salvatore Ferragamo, Hugo Boss, Miu Miu, Michael Kors, Shiseido, Estee Lauder, and more. Besides shooting famous figures and celebrities, his most famous celebrity subjects are Princess Diana, the British Royal Family, even landed the honor of photographing the engagement pics of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Besides fashion, Mario is an ambassador for the Save the Children foundation. He helped raise money to build a playground in a Moscow's children hospital specializing in cancer, a disease his brother died from when he was 10 years old. Also in Lima, he opened a children's clinic to help victims from the 2007 earthquake. Testino has been honored by many charities and organizations including the Elton John Aids Foundation. He sees his work as not something to be bragged about..."But doing these charitable things has made me feel that I have got some of the priestly instinct back. I know people who have everything and all they do is complain and bicker. Give off negative energy. When you try and do something positive it helps others but also makes you feel better about yourself."

THE ROYAL WEDDING RECAP OF PRINCE WILLIAM AND PRINCESS KATE

Early morning at 1AM, live coverage of the Royal Wedding started by a few television stations. This whole week, news especially entertainment news focused on every aspect of William and Kate, and one of the weddings of the century. Though this day was important for the Royal Family, most notably Prince William, everyone was in anticipation to see his wife-to-be Kate Middleton.

KATE MIDDLETON ARRIVES: http://www.eonline.com/videos/v100052_royal-wedding:-kate-middleton.html

Kate's dress, the biggest subject leading up to this wedding is finally revealed! It was SARAH BURTON for ALEXANDER MCQUEEN-a stunning long sleeve lace ivory and satin gown with V-neckline and an eight foot long train along with a simple laced edge veil. Besides the lace detailing of the gown, it was somewhat similar to moviestar turned princess, GRACE KELLY. Both gowns had waist cinching bodices and voluminous skirts to show off their great figure, trains that were dramatic but not too long, and short veils. Kate took make-up lessons from Arabella Preston for a natural blend of pink cheeks and lips with soft smoky eyes she did herself.

PRINCE WILLIAM AND PRINCESS KATE SAY THEIR VOWS: http://www.eonline.com/videos/v100054_royal-wedding:-the-vows.html

Prince William Arthur Phillip Louis of Wales and Catherine Elizabeth Middleton are now regarded as the DUKE AND DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE.

INFAMOUS BALCONY KISS: http://www.eonline.com/videos/v101185_royal-wedding:-the-kiss.html They upstaged previous royal marriages by kissing twice!!!

Though many of us weren't invited, to have the opportunity to see such a special historical occasion take place is inspiring. To see true love in the form of a girl marrying her prince and becoming a princess is a fairytale come true. It shows that love is universal and speaks beyond so many languages. I wish Prince William and Princess Kate the best in their married life and duties together, may they support each other and find their own independent strength as well. I know the late Princess Diana approves of this marriage and will be with the married couple always...
