Katie Knows 3.1 Phillip Lim

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

3.1 Phillip Lim is one of my favorite lines. Its unique and unmistakable mix of sophisticated style, leather, lace and embellishment also makes it a fav of super chic celebs.

“The 3.1 Phillip Lim woman is ultra feminine with her own sense of style,” according to Net-A-Porter. I couldn’t agree more!

3.1 Phillip Lim Citrine Tank with Rhinestones and Shirt Hem Skirt.

3.1 Phillip Lim Flare Front Print Tank and Draped Pocket Trouser.

3.1 Phillip Lim Faux Sweater Slip Dress.

3.1 Phillip Lim V-Neck Warped Front Top.

After studying at California State University, Phillip Lim worked at Katayone Adeli, where he became creative director. He launched 3.1 Phillip Lim in 2005 with partner Wen Zhou.

If you don’t own any 3.1 Phillip Lim, allow Knit Wit to introduce it to you! There are a ton of new arrivals just waiting for you.

Kisses,

Katie

My November Wish List

Monday, November 7th, 2011

Katie knows you still haven’t purchased some of the essentials you need for autumn and winter: new dresses, new coats, new boots and bags. While I’ve picked up some fantastic new staples (DVF dresses and Splendid leggings from Plage Tahiti; J Brands + Citizens of Humanity denim and Autumn Cashmere sweaters from from Knit Wit) there are a couple of things I’m coveting to ensure I look sharp through the New Year.

Thankfully, they are all available online through the Knit Wit and FarFetch.com.

Halston Heritage Front Drape Dress - gorgeous from the front and back!

Jil Sander Vertical Panel Jacket in navy.

Alexander Wang Fur Collar Coat with tail back hem.

Stuart Weitzman Mainline Knee High Boot.

3.1 Phillip Lim Lynus Mini Envelop Clutch with rabbit fur.

FarFetch.com now offers free global returns if you make a mis-purchase and (for Knit Wit‘s international shoppers) duty is included in every price. I’m ordering the boots right now!

Kisses,

Katie

Let’s Talk About Fur, Baby

Wednesday, October 5th, 2011

Fur.

Katie knows this small word can be as divisive as the Berlin Wall. People either love wearing fur or absolutely despise it. Lucky for those on either side of that debate, the Knit Wit has real and faux fur coats and accessories that will keep you fashionably chic and really warm this winter.

Rabbit Fur

3.1 Phillip Lim Natural Grey Rabbit Fur Coat

Knit and Rabbit Fur Loop and Ear Muffs by Hat Attack

Shearling

3.1 Phillip Lim Shearling Jacket in Oyster

3.1 Phillip Lim Black Shearling Jacket

Faux Fur

Vest in Coyote by Wild Instinct

For a long time I wasn’t into fur. I didnt throw paint or protest outside Jacques on Walnut, but I simply chose not to don it. Then I started wearing vintage fur coats a few years ago and after a couple of nights wrapped in the luxurious warmth, I was hooked.

Stop by any of the Knit Wit stores to get in on one of the hottest trends of the season: fur and faux!

Kisses,
Katie

Knit Wit Must-Have Skirts

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011

Katie knows you’re a little sad that your tan stems are fading to autumn pale. But Knit Wit has the skirts you’ll wear now through winter with thick, knit tights, jet black stockings and killer boots. Just remember, no tan panty hose allowed!

I absolutely adore wearing skirts. And, when you buy the right skirts you can mix and match a ton of different tops to create new and different looks for each.

Kisses,

Katie

Pippa’s Perfect Style

Wednesday, July 6th, 2011

Pippa, Pippa, Pippa: we adore thee. Katie knows if you want to copy the fashions of the most famous sister-in-law in the world, you’ll need to follow some easy rules.

Keep It Simple: solids over patterns
Cover The Girls: no cleavage
Stick to the Classics: styles that never die

If you like Pippa’s white dress, you’ll love Catherine Malandrino’s Sleeveless Crochet Dress in Blanc. It has a crochet overlay and an attached lightweight knit underlay slip.

London is a bit cooler than the Delaware Valley in the summer, so Pippa has been rocking some long sleeves and pants recently. I love how she plays with feminine, neutral tones.

To copy this look in warmer temps, try Brochu Walker’s Nude Silk Ruched Tank paired with Adriano Goldschmied’s The A.C.U. Patch Pocket Capri in Supply.

Katie knows you can’t go wrong in jeans, a bright top and a blazer. Pippa is classically chic here, but a boot-cut or slightly flared jean would have done this outfit better.
