WHIMSICAL BRITISH STYLE

. BRITISH SUMMER : A WHIMSICAL BRITISH STYLE .

In complete contrast to yesterday’s rather drizzly post, today i’m embracing British summertime (the good side of it, not the summer showers), the sunshine, whimsical outings in the countryside & summer evenings spent al fresco. Aside from my love of the south coast and British seaside, the countryside is another part of British summer time I absolutely adore. It’s where I was brought up and a place I love to go to feel relaxed, happy and at home, having Kew Gardens and Richmond park on my doorstep are my way of keeping the countryside close in London.

Flocking to the countryside for a little city escape, spending my days picnicking, drinking fizz & eating strawberries, and scoffing fresh scones & clotted cream with my friends and family is one of my favourite things during the Summer. Theres nothing like being outdoors, enjoying the long summer days, sitting outside and barbecuing with a glass of pimms until the sun finally disappears, heaven. Naturally when I leave the city, and reside back to the countryside, my style naturally relaxes, unwinds a little and becomes a little more whimsical.

This outfit is just that, relaxed, embracing my innate but often hidden whimsical British style, and generally just a little more feminine – the skirt is a MinkPink number and just the perfect summer skirt, it looks perfectly with a simple black tee & some chic lace up heels. I wore this outfit last weekend whilst my family came to visit for a day in the garden and a tasty summer barbecue.  When I wear this kind of outfit, i feel so care free, relaxed and feminine. I really should wear this more often.

What’s your innate style? Do you find your style changes from the city to the countryside?
