The Boden Purchases

The lovely Frances had recommended this red breton from Boden on her blog - who am I to pass up on a breton?!?!  Oh and I actually didn't have a red one so needs must.  I like buying when somethings been tried and tested by someone, especially when it comes to classics like this.  It was £18.75 when they had a sale on.  It's been worn twice already and is a lovely soft cotton.  It does come up large but I didn't want anything too tight.

Whilst looking at the breton I spotted this merino jumper in the sale down to £17.70 - wow!  Merino is a thin wool so perfect for now and as I had returned a previous one from a different store due to shrinkage, I was on the look out for a replacement.  It's very similar to the J.Crew Tippi style which I had bought in the cream and white last year but they were so see through they went back.  The sleeves are three quarter length which I love, it's true to size and the perfect shade of grey (well, apart from Christian's grey of course....).  It's still available in a 6, 10 and 12.


It was late, I was tired, you know I'm not one for good photos (but I over compensate with sharing good shopping buys right???!!) but honestly there is nothing wrong with my lips - just a dirty camera on my phone, oops!

Boden's Breton Tee And A Zara Tip Off

Happy Halloween from my girls! (for yesterday)
Well hello!  My, what a busy week.  I've been planning (not just in my head you'll be pleased to know!) all my next few blog posts as I have so much to share.

Today I fancied some casual colour.  I am a huge lover of the breton stripe and have 'tried and tested' many high street versions.  My latest find is the Boden one though.  It's £15 with 96% cotton (I do like my natural fibres) and 4% elastane for that all important stretch and longevity wash after wash.  I opted for some pink with my favourite colour as the base, grey.  Several washes and wears already and I can report that I would recommend.  I tried to get my eldest (6 years old) to take a photo outdoors but at least 30 blurred shots later, I gave up so no smiled, 'posed' shots from me today.

I've teamed it with my gorgeous scarf from the School Gate Style shop (£15) as felt like being bold with some clashing prints. I always try to keep my bottom half pattern free as I am better balanced with the prints being up top.


Boden's Crew Neck Tee is available in a variety of colours 
A quick tip off for today, check out Zara's 'Special Prices' (if you don't follow me on Facebook, you may have missed this).  They are selling wool coats (57%) for £29.99.  They seem to be adding a few new bits every day so keep checking back.  I've had reports it's short lived so don't procrastinate.  Free delivery over £50 and free returns, what are you waiting for?  A few of my favourites below.
