Last Days Of Summer...

 The nights are drawing in all thats left is for me to do is frolic about in vintage pretty dresses in the late afternoon sun. I cant complain. I am so excited for autumn but i'm still trying to enjoy the last few days of summer.


 I was recently introduced to Brag Vintage and i have been perusing their site ever since. I love the selection of true vintage they have, I love the size range they stock (i dont always fit vintage and sometimes struggle with sizing, but not here!) and the service was super fast (have i ever told you i am impatient, when i order something online, i want it , like, yesterday.. i know.. diva rachel tut tut)
I chose this dress for its length, its the midi inbetweenie length that i just find so practical. The floral fabric is floaty but made of that rich cotton that vintage dresses are made of (don't make them like they used to as my dear old nan would have said).




 It also had the most gorgeous lattice lace to the back, such a pretty little vintage feature. I felt so good in this dress all day, floating around. Even hubs really liked it. Question for you, what shoes would you pair with this dress? would you go edgy with boots or simple shoes? I wore simple pumps to the fields and walking around that day. But suggestions would be great!



 Are you enjoying your last days of summer?

Joules

I don't think it's a secret here on the old blog that i am a huge Joules fan. 
I find there country style clothes fun, chic, colourful and practical making them completely wearable.
I've shown my love for Joules by wearing my favourite dresses herehere and again here, in my eyes they can do no wrong with there quintessentially British style.
So when i had the opportunity to review some of their products i hadn't ever purchased before, well i jumped for joy and replied with a big "yes please!!!"



Joules 
Umbrella, 
Mug 
and Ipad Case

The quality of Joules pieces is another reason i return time and time again. I would certainly love to add  one of their lovely Ladies Tweed Jacket to my ever growing blazer collection. Such a timeless piece that never dates yet looks fantastic with age. Great with jeans and over dresses or skirts. Do you own a Tweed blazer? Would you invest in a tweed piece?

How cute is the little fox print Ipad case?! I kinda want to just use it as a really cute clutch!
Cup of Tea anyone?  Why yes, this is my beautiful new mug, i gotta tell ya, it makes a cracking cuppa!
And being the country bumpkin i am, living in Wales in the UK means rain and lots of it which means a definite countryside must have is the classic wax jacket, especially with the unpredictable or predictable as it may seem, april showers that will sure to be showering our little heads soon.


 Do you own any Joules pieces?
