A very smiley Katie. And for good reason – I took the photo just as Scotland went into the lead over Australia in the rugby. We’re just off out to have dinner with our friends Charles and Alessia so this needs to be a quick post. But check out Katie’s nails! She’s got a full fry-up on there – eggs, bacon, sausage, tomato, toast, the lot, after visiting Wah Nails this afternoon! The tights are Wolford, the top is from Whistles and the headpiece thing is Katie’s own creation.
Katie’s going for some sort of Columbo style private investigator look today. I like it a lot. She’s in H&M booties, TK Maxx sheepskin thing, Betty Jackson silk dress, my hat, a Moschino silk scarf and a Swarovski brooch. Any big plans for the weekend? What are you doing for lunch?
Because we haven’t really seen each other for days, Katie took me out to dinner last night to what is fast becoming our favourite restaurant in London, Terroirs. It was made extra special after the sommelier gave us half a bottle of Clos des Corvées which another diner had decided wasn’t to his taste. It definitely was to our tastes. Although at £110 a bottle, is probably not going to be replacing the vin de merde in our wine rack any time soon.
Today Katie’s wearing her dazzling gold Burberry square sequin cardigan (pretty cool eh?), an Orla Kiely dress, her mum’s shoes, Disney Couture necklace and Falke tights. Beautiful.
It feels very wintery in London today. Definitely a good day for a pub with an open fire. Instead of that, I’ve got a roaring inbox and a warming stack of work to do. I’m hoping to find a small mulled wine window in my day though. Check out K’s new boots from the lovely Laura at Where. They’re a bit special – they’ve got a detachable bit so they can either by ankle boots or knee boots. Clever eh? The skirt is Coast, the leopard print thing is from Roman Road market and the tie necklace was a birthday present from Dissy. Very nice.
Katie was doing the work hard thing yesterday until midnight. And so, since she’s never got time to make it to the gym, she’s developed an intensive work out plan based on dragging around several kilograms of plastic jewellery all day. Today’s shirt was a present from Sara, the skirt is from Uruguay, the tights are Tabio and the jewellery comes from various sources – H&M, East, Talullah Tu, the Natural History Museum and a holiday in Mauritius. There is genuinely very little I wouldn’t do for a holiday to Mauritius right now. Yawwwwwn.
First of all, massive thanks to all of your suggestions for who Katie should channel today, we’ll definitely do it again some time. Thanks to the relevance of Movember, we thought that Chaplin should win! And if you’d like to donate to Movember, you can sponsor my tash here!!! All the cash goes to help men with prostate cancer.
Second of all – WKW was all up in the Independent today. Centre fold no less. It’s a really nice piece, so many thanks for Harriet Walker for the article. We just need to get that call from the FT and we’ll have the full set of broadsheets! Lol.
The Chaplin outfit consists of my bowler hat, red velvet blazer from Topshop, my blue Cos polo shirt, orange Tommy Hilfiger orange and Lulu Guinness umbrella. Good job I made the pic black and white.
I love these photos! Katie looks a bit like a gypsy. We had a quick bite of lunch and now Katie’s dashed off to her friend Dissy’s birthday tea party in Shepherd’s Bush whilst I’ve got a busy schedule of computering and cricket watching. Today’s outfit consists of a Just In Case skirt (worn as a dress) from Jane Davidson, Ash boots, H&M hat and mittens and Talullah Tu heart necklace.
SPECIAL(ISH) ANNOUNCEMENT:
Fancy a bit of fun? Want to be part of What Katie Wore? Starting today, we would love you suggest some looks for Katie to try and pull off. You can suggest anything, from ‘Communist Chic’ to ‘Chav Secretary’. The first outfit will be worn tomorrow, so leave us your comments/suggestions tonight and we’ll pick a winner later.
We’ve had a yawn filled day doing the food shopping. We’ve have bought a bunch of extremely random ingredients, including squid, acorn squash, oyster sauce and ramen. This is what happens when they cancel Saturday Kitchen and televise the Lord Mayor’s Show instead (which might as well be shot in black and white). Here’s the missus wearing a Howies shirt, Tabio tights and a bow tie from Dolly Knits. Everything else is vintage.
NEWSFLASH: I hear that Katie was in the Irish version of the Independent magazine today. That’s very cool.
Very early start for me this morning. So for a change it was Katie who got to stay in bed while I left for an early train. The K was the perfect little housewife last night – as I a couple of pints of Guinness in town, Katie cleaned the house from top to toe. It looks spotless and shiny today. Just like Katie – doesn’t she look lovely? Today K is wearing a New Look sequin jacket, Where studded shoes, H&M necklace that Becs gave her, and her brown leather Prada skirt inside out (doesn’t it look much better pink than brown?!). Bring on the weekend.
We were out of the house by 6am today. Turns out, these marketing jobs aren’t all their cracked up to be – where are the red braces, fast cars, long lunches and expense accounts of the 80s? They didn’t even get my latte right in Pret. Today the Katie is wearing a vintage batwing dress, American Apparel belt, Tabio tights and brilliant Irregular Choice smoking lady boots.
