Some serious excitement yesterday. I got a package at work. It had a Lulu Guinness handbag in it (a Colour Flash Elongated Pollyanna Clutch to be precise). It turns out Lulu (you know, like, global fashion lady extraordinaire, OBE, Katie’s fashion hero, etc. etc.) had seen the blog and liked Katie’s “style”. I call Katie. Katie squeals. She squeals again when I hand the handbag over. Katie spends several hours stroking the handbag, squealing intermittently. Putting things in the handbag. Taking things out of the handbag. And, finally, coordinating an outfit to match every colour on the handbag. It is beautiful though, isn’t it? Thank you Lulu. You’ve made me very popular at home.
Hahahahaha Joe your commentries are the best!!!!Katie fab as always! The shoes are new look right? Never mind the bag overshadows ALL…
NICE to c an early post you guys have had a busy week.how do u juggle this site with work? I gather its almost like a 2nd job now…
Katie – this bag was MADE for you! Fabulous.xx
wow!! love love love the bag!!! whole outfit is fab! Looking good today Katie (as always) xxx
WOW WOW WOW! that bag is gorgeous! You have put the perfect complimentary outfit to bag together!! I love that you mix designer with high street and vintage with cutting edge! It shows flair and imagination, anyone can buy a readymade look, it takes something more to put it all together like you do, brilliant!

Hilarious comments as always Joe, especially love this outfit because I co-ordinate stuff to match my bags too!

Katie you dress with such joy and Joe you have a the gift of the gab and clearly you

“Putting things in the handbag. Taking things out of the handbag” Agh!!! So cute!! I know that feeling!
“Stroking the bag”….ahahah that made me laugh!
Such a cute outfit and lovely shoes
Wonderful.
Well deserved. I was following your blog for a while and was starting to wonder when the gifts are going to start arriving. This is the first big one, right?
Wonderful.
Must have felt magical.
Love seeing lovely people get lovely stuff.
Oh Katie, if only I got sent Lulu Guiness bags in the post *a girl can dream*. I have to say I think this is one of my favourite outfits, that bag and the colours are amazing. And the feeling of bag excitement and having to plan a whole outfit around one item is very familiar! And also taking stuff in and out of the handbag, normally with me because I can’t fit all of my junk in. Joe, your comments made the post today, it’s made me smile.
I, too, have to say thta I think this might possibly be my favourite outfit so far. I love,love, love the fact that you’ve worked every single colour from the gorgeous bag into your outfit! It looks fantastic!
Keep up the good work Jo and Katie! Checking in on your blog each day brightens my day at work!
Is is just me or when people are shopping do they they find themselves saying ” oh, katie would look great in that”, “katie would like that”!!!
Everyone keeps talking about the bag, the bag, the bag. What about the mugs with dogs faces on them in the shop window behind Katie?
Jx
hahaha Jesse i went shopping last weekend very nearly bought some earrings “for Katie”! Glad it’s not just me
Yep, looking at stuff and thinking Katie would like it is something I also find myself doing!!
So, I see behind you Katie (I notice everything!) a dog mug shop, do they have a Border Terrier? I know, nothing to do with the outfit eh!! (OH DEAR, just noticed Joe’s comment- missed that one! Is the shop on your street?)
The perfect outfit to compliment a gorgeos bag, yay!
