The Small Things| Leather Brogues


For me a good pair of brogues are absolutely essential, maybe that is because I will forever be in love with classic, hard wearing and preppy items, and maybe it is because I wore a shirt, blazer and tie to school everyday for as long as I can remember. I prefer brogues with a heel, not the cutsey flat ones you see in highstreet fashion shops - New Look I am looking right at you - so for these beautiful shoes I went to clarks. Yes they are real leather, I just hope that the animal was reared in a friendly environment, and dies quickly.


Yes those are insoles you see in there, I have posture and calf muscle issues....

Roses are Red...

 and violets are blue right? Well yes, but the the roses that I would decorate my imaginary flat in Paris with would be white, or maybe even yellow, just not red. And violets they maybe one of my favourite colours according to the rhyme but nope they make me sneeze.

If you read yesterday's post then you know I went to a fashion exhibition at Killerton House, and well I couldn't miss an oppotunity to dress up like the lady of the house. Boy have I been watching too much Downton Abbey..
 I will never get bored of wearing this jacket, I will be sad to leave it at home when I go to university, it is my mum's after all. I will however be bring this cosy jumper that I bought last year in Bath from a street stall, not far away from the train station. Yes the roses are red, but they are also pink and knitted from a soft fuzzy wool/thread.
 Of course I wore my chelsea boots and a black maxi skirt, so effortless and chic. Chic actually means elegant in french so I have rediscovered my love for the word again.
 Underneath the cosy and rought outer layers there is a more elegant touch, layering my black maxi skirt over what is now a too short dress to create a more put together look seemed so right on a Sunday morning, and even if I do say so myself it was a good choice.
 What on earth happened to my face? errrmmmm help
 Yay a black and white selfie to showcase the bow on the dress and the pearl necklace that my boyfriend surprised me with on Valentines day! I feel like Audrey Hepburn outside Tiffany's as Holly go-lightly
