Day 207 - Table service

Charming - and much admired - Jane Brown Mary Janes in two-toned suede kicking up their heels over some chopsticks in one of Kittie's favourite Chinese restaurants late today, partnered with Ormonde Jayne's floral triumph Sampaquita. The heels are beautiful, it's an English label, and they're made in Italy (of course!)

Day 206 - Il gattopardo

Kittie is re-reading the classic novel about decaying Sicilian nobility Il gattopardo (The Leopard) by Giuseppe di Lampedusa, and suitably inspired, is posed in leopard-print slingbacks with deep brown patent trim by leopard-loving designers Dolce & Gabbana, posed on an H&M leopard-print umbrella on this windswept and drizzly winter's day. (One half of the D&G partnership, Signor Dolce, is Sicilian-born). Worn with a spritz of Amouage Jubilation 25.
