On the good ship lollipop...


Coat - Jack Wills; Dress - Zara; Boots - Zara
 

                                                 

So, as an absolute and utter country bumpkin / seaside resident, I often go for rambles on the beach with my puppy Agatha Christie. As it so often torrentially raining / windy as... a wind farm (?!) / nippy noodles, I decided that although I am not in the slightest bit practical (seriously, if I try to change my bed, I end up wearing a Cath Kidston ghost costume) I really needed a coat so as not to perish on the treachorous path to making Agatha a happy dog. Ha.
 
That was a very long-winded way of saying I love this coat. I would usually never touch Jack Wills with a barge pole (except on very special occasions), I saw this at Bicester and felt I needed it in my life. Although I look like a mad old fisherman (apt for the Sussex coast, although I am roughly 40 years too young for that particular pursuit) as a sailor outfit fanatic, the lining just sung to me. Look at it - anchortastic!
 
Enough rambling now. I hope you're all enjoying your weekends. As I write this (at not quite 5pm) it is almost dark outside. How depressing! I want summer back now please...
 
A bientot,

Merci Beaucoup

I must just say 'merci beacoup'  to all of you out there who read this blog - for putting up with my long abandonment... I promised when starting this blog that I would not neglect it like I did my last but here we are... What can I say? Life got in the way! I've been all over the place (literally) with work and while I'd happily blog, I have no time (in daylight) to take any pictures and so I think my ramblings with no illustration would be rather dull - to say the least.

However, I nabbed my mother in between showers this morning to snap me in my finery (ahem) so I now have a LOT of posts planned for the coming weeks. I do hope you won't all have given up on me!

The little pictures are of my amazing / quirky / plain weird swan necklace from The Lion Street Store in Rye (East Sussex). It is the best shop ever. I visited today and will put up a little feature (as I'm all about lifestyle as well as 'fashion'...) some time soon. The other snapshot is of a scarecrow festival / fete at my local church. These particular scarecrows are a very authentic Adam and Eve. Beautiful.

Until next time (soon, I promise)...

Saskia ♥
