    You know it, I know it. I’m a self-confessed stripe whore, a horizontal line addict. I just can’t get enough. If I see stripes, I need it. I don’t know what it is, or why? But it’s a pattern that just has me hanging off it’s every word. I love this dress, you will have before seen it moons ago when I styled it completely differently, here. I hope to god since then (in that small space of time) that my blog has grown wings and completely revamped itself, even if it’s just a bit.

    I’m a petite girl in height, but what I lack in centimetres there I certainly make up for them round the hips. I find it tremendously difficult to dress for my shape, big bust, tiny waist and wide hips, plus my bodies decision to be vertically challenged – where is my middle ground? Slowly, but surely I’m starting to realise what looks good on my body. I need to try and steer clear of overly baggy outfits that don’t drown me. I know stripes work well with my physique too but there’s only so much Breton that can be in one girls life! With it now being summer it’s also time to inject some colour in to my life too…

    On Saturday we decided to head in to Leeds for brunch. It’s not something we regularly do but spontaneity ruled that morning and we also needed to return my Zara order too. I wanted to wear my new leather jacket & I have to say I am head over heels in love with it. It’s a hand me down and boy, do I want to wear it all day, everyday. It’s beautiful and so unbelievably soft too. Of course, I had to pair it with my Breton striped top. Did someone say, Parisian Chic?

    I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but recently I have done away with my tripod. No longer am I taking photos by myself before I head out, all alone, trying to ”werk it” with no encouragement. It sounds stupid but it’s damn hard to try and work it when you have absolutely no clue what it looks like on the other side. A couple of weeks ago I took the plunge. I asked my sister to do my blog photos for me. Little did I know just how much easier it would begin to be, with someone being able to tell you what you look like, what’s working and what’s not is not only making my photos a damn sight better, it’s actually bolstering my confidence in bucket loads.

    I’m a country girl at heart. Yes the fast paced city is exciting and overly indulgent, but there is nothing quite like the open-air and the relaxing countryside to really put the wind in your sails. I’m also very lucky that I am married to a Farmers son, so weekends are spent ”down the yard” collecting eggs from the chickens, feeding pet lambs and watching the piglets and calves all run around. It’s a pretty spectacular lifestyle to be a part of. With the wonderful country life, you need to have the right attire and to be prepared for all the seasons too. I have invested in various pairs of Hunter wellington boots and a wax Barbour jacket for such days. I’ve never really looked any further with their range but I was delighted to find a variety of summer pieces that could fill my ever-growing wardrobe.
