Channelling Parisian Chic with Petit Bateau

It's highly likely a version of this outfit may have appeared on this blog before. I've said it before and i will probably say it again (i know, i know, broken record much Rachel?!) but this is my uniform. My easy peasy throw it on and take on the world outfit. Breton tops have a lot to answer for on the parisian front (do Parisian's even wear breton tops? do let me know as i am actually very curious haha!) As soon as i don a striped top I instantly want to channel my inner tres chic mademoiselle, gracing the cobbled streets of notre damn. I mean obviously i'm not even close, i'm actually clomping along the paved streets of a little Welsh town in the hills. But what the heck, maybe i can look a little bit the part... just a smidge, right?

Speaking of breton tops, i did a quick count up recently of how many i own and i'm at the grand total of 16, different colours (red, black navy) but yes. 16.

Well actually this new Petit Bateau makes it 17. And this one is by far the nicest. Firstly its genuinely french, extra style points for that. But the whole fit and texture of the top is soooo nice. The quality is spot on too which i really like. Search for the perfect breton top is finally over! Nice one Petit Bateau.

Just a quick note on the earring front... can you tell how much i am loving these Matador tassel earrings? Aren't they fun? They just add the best pop of colour to a monochome look. I love them, plus because they're basically thread it means they aren't heavy like some statement earrings. You can get them here!

Also i mentioned on Instagram(are we instagram buddies? We should be.. gimme a follow and i love to follow along with you. Its my favourite social media network to chat to blogging buddies on!) that i am totally digging anklets. I bringing them back from my youth. They're just so pretty and remind me of holidays. Gimme a limb or appendage and i will happily decorate it haha! This ones from the new Yosa Simply range and they're only going to be about £5!
