I’m working from home today, waiting for a plumber and some delivery men, and enjoying some peace and quiet while I write some decks. Have to admit work is nonetheless being intermittently interrupted by me squealing a wee bit every so often about how happy I am in this house!

This orange-based ensemble cried out for a Smeg photo; a Vanessa Bruno dress, my can’t-wear-a-floaty-dress-without-it Charlotte & Co slip, Rampant Sporting socks and a wooly necklace that Cherie Collins made me in the very first year of the blog. Perfect slouchy working on the sofa attire.

Hope the sun’s streaming in through your window like it is here!

Katie will return to your screens in a matter of days but until then, check out this lot…

What Cat Wore…

We especially like Cat’s necklace.

What Ceri Wore…

Nice floral dress and Uttam tights combo with M&S shoes.

What Charlene Wore…

Great pic from Japanese blogger Charlene of Candy Kawaii Lover. They are some serious boots.

What Cherie Wore…

We like Cherie a lot – she sent Katie a wool necklace very similar to the one she’s wearing below. You can see Katie in it here.

What Claire Wore…

A welcome chance to see what Claire’s bathroom looks like! The jumper is Jane Norman. The bubble bath is Radox.

What Claire Wore…

A bit blurry, but no doubt very nice.

What Clare Wore…

Thanks to Jo for sending in this brilliant pic of her friend Clare from Second Hand Rose in vintage polka dots and Kurt Geiger heels. Clare looks like lots of fun!

What Clarice Wore…

How cool is Clarice?! She is, of course, from Rio de Janeiro. She wears her mum’s 80′s jumpsuit and pink Ray-Bans. This is one of Katie’s favourites, for obvious reasons!

What Dare Wore…

Our first group picture comes from top digital marketing agency Dare. Good for them. I’ve a feeling you’ll be seeing a few of their individual entries in due course. Aren’t they hot?

What Deborah Wore…

The lovely Deborah sent Katie a gorgeous corset not so long ago. Here she is chilling on her terrace in Sevilla wearing clothes from her own boutique Ajena a la Moda (trans: Beyond Fashion).

What Deirdre Wore…

Here’s Deirdre from brilliant Irish boutique Quack + Dirk in an Emanuel Ungaro dress. Katie’s worn one of Deirdre’s skirts before – you can see it here.

What Emily Wore…

Here’s Emily from Sugar and Spice wearing a New Look jumper dress and very cool Office brogues.

What Emily Wore…

This is one of my personal favourites even though it’s a bit blurry – Emily wears black and white two tone ASOS tights and a very desirable charity shop bowler in the snow. I really want an American Indian sweatshirt.

What Sophie Wore…

She’s in a Topshop cat hat and a charity shop reindeer coat. Good snow clothes. Good inward pointy feet.

What Erin Wore…

Err, Louboutin alert!!! Wow.

Hope this lot keeps you all busy for the day. It’s Bitchbag’s turn tomorrow.

Surprise! We’re in Ibiza. The clubs have closed for the year, the sun is still hot and the food is fantastico. We’re staying in the Sa Talaia, an old castle which is now a little rural hotel. It’s wonderful. If anyone has any recommendations of places we should see, things we should do or, especially, restaurants which are really good, please let us know. Today Katie’s wearing a Vanessa Bruno dress, Versace sunnies, Bulgari watch and one of the woolie necklace things from Cherie Collins. Must dash, fancy a swim before supper. Hope all is well back in Blighty. Love to all, Joe xxx

I’m wearing a shiny Commando medal after what was a fantastic weekend in the mud with the Marines. I’m utterly exhausted, can barely walk and have mud in my hair. So glad to be back in London with my beautiful girlfriend. She even had a Chinese takeaway ready for me when I got in. And now she’s running me a bath. And doesn’t she look absolutely stunning with her fantastic new haircut? Many thanks to Katie’s dad for taking today’s picture. Here’s she is, looking adorable outside the Caledonian Club wearing Onagono harem pants, Cos dress, Smythson bag and a super cool necklace made by a lovely girl called Cherie Collins.
