Nothing signifies quite how different New York and Bristol are to me the way my new umbrella does. It's funny really, as when it rained in NY, I huddled under a ridiculously tiny umbrella all month – every time I decided to just bite the bullet and buy a proper one, the sun came out.
I bought this one on my last day in New York, which was sunny and hot and beautiful, and when I definitely didn't need one. I definitely need it now. It has poured with rain all month in England, so that the trees are green and drippy, and my umbrella is always by my side – and when I put this one up, the sun never comes out.
I brought a couple of other things back with me, all of them green too, coincidentally.
There is something beautiful about simplicity. Its probably the opposite of my blog aesthetic, but i just wanted to let you know your blog and everything on it is stunning. I cant wait to see future posts !

Thanks, Anna - there's always something interesting about opposites too ;)
DeleteYou obviously had a bit of a green thing going on over there!
ReplyDeleteSimple, well-made items are all you need.
Really not on purpose either - I only noticed once I was looking through the pictures. You're quite right.
DeleteI love that you have a white umbrella. Somehow I end up buying only black ones. The dress is adorable!
ReplyDeleteMe too - this is the best umbrella I've ever had. I almost feel responsible enough not to lose it these days too!
DeleteBeautiful simple umbrella! And that color green is stunning as well. Hope you had a good trip:D

I think it might be my pride and joy at the moment (ridiculous I know)! It was a special trip.
DeleteWow! what a perfect umbrella :) Ps - love that you picked up Kinfolk, Volume 4 just came out and it's wonderful. Do you have a Kinfolk stockist near you?
ReplyDeleteI know, just as I finished reading vol. 3! I'm a bit hooked now (I find the whole thing fascinating) so I've been looking out for stockists - there are a few in London I think, so hopefully I'll be able to get vol. 4!
DeleteHey, I love your stuff! I love anything green and that dress is so perfect! <3
ReplyDeleteI bought it and referred to it as 'my mad dress' for ages until I got used to it - it's quite a lot brighter than things I usually wear, but I absolutely love it.
DeleteThat dress looks perfectly summer.
