It’s Katie’s parents’ anniversary today (big congrats!) and so we’re out for dinner with them later. But until then, I’ve got about a million things to do so no chat today. Talk amongst yourselves.
But first, what an utterly ridiculous brooch. It’s a giant knitted cupcake from the a little gallery in Bristol. The skirt is Coast, the top is Nicole Farhi and the hat is mine. Bye for now. Have a good long Friday luncheon if you can. Club sandwich and a Guinness I reckon.
i love the giant cupcake! LOVE.
Congrats to the ‘rents! I thought Katie had a pair of balled up socks stuck to her when I first saw the picture….Liking the rest of the outfit. Jury’s still out on the socks/cupcake…

I’m not feeling that brooch – it reminds me of a microphone – but like the rest of it.
No lunch for me on a Friday – I have to teach a class from 12 – 2. Boo hoo.
i myself love cupcakes, both actual ones i can evour and clothing cupcakes etc however i did not recognise that brooch as a cupcake
happy anniversary to the mackay’s!!

Were the cupcake a wee bit smaller, it might work a wee bit more.
That said, I decided to once again make my world/apartment famous cupcakes to bring along to a friend’s movie evening.
The Circle of Life right there people.
Long time fan, first time commenting
Agree the cupcake brooch brings to mind balled up socks more than a delicious baked product.
Still loving those lace-up boots, and red tights never fail.
Simple elegance with a classic Katie twist- adore it! Happy Free For All Friday x x x
MMMM….I thought the sock/brooch thing was a pint of guiness in a gay pinky glass…….not sure….love the rest though xxxxx
You know, when I first saw this pic, I thought, is that a cupcake or a really large fabric toggle button? I was glad it turned out to be a cupcake!
Congrats to the MacKay’s…here’s to many more happy years!!!
Oh no to the cupcake….but loving everthing else, especially the hat!!!
OMG loving the cupcake and all the clothes but not to sure about the hat! Fab booties too
love the brooch and the hat, and i like how well she has interplayed the red with black & white in her outfit!!!
shoe to me please
shoes..ie
Not feelin’ the brooch but love the rest. Also, um, as an English prof and all-round nerd, I’m compelled to comment on the entry’s punctuation, Joe: should be MacKays’ and parents’ to show that the words are plural!
Kathryn – The shame. I am utterly appalled with myself. I thought about whether I should correct my error but feel that my punishment should be to leave it there for posterity as a constant reminder of my idiocy.

I made that giant cup cake, love it that you made it into a giant brooch! I wondered what people used them for!
I think we’ve all learned a valuable lesson today.
I’ve buckled.
I’ve corrected my two spelling mistakes.
I haven’t been able to concentrate for the last hour.

What a great way to wear the cupcake!
Love the outfit today, the skirt/tights/coat/hat are amazing! What lipstick is Katie wearing, I’ve been trying to find one for a while and that shade of red is perfect! Much love L x
Joe, I agree with you on the brooch, tho possibly not in the way you meant it. Love that coat – skirt and boots are awesome too.
I aboslutely adore the shoes!
Any chance of knowing where the gorgeous pair is from?

Another fab post! But where are the shoes from?! xx
I agree, the cupcake broach is ridiculous but makes the outfit interesting.
