    Take It Easy

    Top New Look | Denim Skirt Topshop | Coat Mango | Watch Olivia Burton | Sandals Birkenstocks

    This Take It Easy tee from New Look was an impulse buy, one to bulk up an online order so I qualified for free delivery. Boy, am I glad I clicked add to basket with this one. It’s a casual piece, but a bit of a conversation starter because it’s a little different to the usual slogan t-shirts out there at the moment. I think what makes it one of my favourites is the red piping round the neck and sleeves. It’s kind of like the raglan tops that have that all-American feel to them. These photos were snapped by the gorgeous Sophie Cliff who I am so glad I’ve finally had the chance to meet!

    Top Mango | Denim Skirt Topshop | Sandals C/O Daniel Footwear | Sunglasses Next | Watch Olivia Burton

    If I could put in to words how much I love this outfit I’d be writing a sonnet or proclaiming my love in some linguistic prose that was completely off the wall. But, I’m just going to say that I am madly, deeply in love with this folksy print top, that’s reminiscent of the tops you find hanging from market stalls down windy, hilltop Greek streets. Paired with my brand new A-line, button down skirt and these sandals from Daniel Footwear, I practically live in these slip on sliders because they are so comfy & they also have really great support because they are moulded to the shape of foot. All of this together creates a real 70’s vibe too which I am loving! I have to stop myself from reaching for this outfit every time I open my wardrobe!

    When the sales arrive it is like all my Christmas’ come at once. I’m like a kid in a candy shop. You can almost guarantee that I will have Mango, Zara, New Look and the rest all lined up in tabs on my internet browser. I just can’t help myself at all. Not one little ounce. But, there was something that I was desperately needing in my life and that was (ahem another ahem) black shopper bag. One that could easily be swung over the shoulder, when funnily enough I would be shopping. I found the perfect shopper bag!

    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…

    Barbour Gingham Shirt 1

    Coat Barbour | Shirt C/O Barbour | Jeans Mango | Socks Primark | Wellies Hunters

    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.
