Conversations through the middle

Life from a (slightly) more mature perspective

Fashion – wonderful wellies

Take a look at these. Not only are they practical (of course, wellies have to be), not only are they a lovely colour, but take a closer look, yes they are lined! Not just lined with any old material mind you, they are lined with merino wool. Here’s a close up:

How toasty do they look? They would be the height of sophistication at the yard and I love them. Unfortunately, at £160 per pair, they won’t be walking through the mud with me anytime soon. Even if I could afford them I’d probably be too scared to get them dirty in case I spoil them. So that’s one for the wish list then.

They also come in a beautiful winter cream (Caramel), bluish grey (French Grey), and more traditional green and black.

Fashion – Musto SS13 – part 2

Following on from my taster of Musto’s new line for next spring and summer here are the fashion show shots. The host for the event was Zara Philips who you can see above, doing her stuff. I particularly like her equestrian collection, but then I would, wouldn’t I. However Musto is a brand that covers many sports, so the Olympic fashion parade below has looks for sailing, fishing, shooting and equestrian fans. Some of the clothes could be worn for any occassion while others are obviously dedicated to their particular sport – you wouldn’t go to the shops wearing this red waterproof sailing outfit for example. Or would you?

Cuddle up in a comfy throw – Interiors

I love, love, love  this throw from Scarlet & Argent. John (my horse) had a Newmarket blanket like this and though I still have it, I don’t think I can use it in the living room (too many horse hairs).

This though is ideal for snuggling up on the sofa watching TV. It’s 100%  wool and looks quite  heavy, which is definitely a good thing – a lightweight Newmarket blanket just wouldn’t be the same.

I’m told you can find it at Liberty in London and online here.

This is definitely going on my Christmas list.
