An English Country Manor
Alright Everyone!
Driving through overhanging tree branches, hearing the birds chirp in a nearby tree and watching the stags bound through the open grassland, Hazel and I make our way to an old English country manor nestled in acres of traditional Woodland and old farmland.
To celebrate the end of exams my best friend and I decided to go out for a traditional English Cream tea at a traditional English country house so I thought I would do a little quick outfit of the day.
To dress for such an occasion required a lot of thought, we both wanted to look casual yet smart and well put together. So, we both opted for clothing which could be dressed up or down, not just for cream tea but for weddings, christenings and other special occasions!
I chose a simple white smock dress by New Look which fell to just above my knee and paired it with my favourite new pair of dolly shoes from Fat Face and my trusty old tweed riding jacket from Jack Wills!
Hazel opted for a pair of classic blue skinny jeans from Gap, a floaty mint green tank top which practically screams Summer and some sweet boat shoes!
I hope you enjoy and I will see you very soon, Goodbye!

That country manor looks darling. Would it be possible to get the name of the manor as im planning a trip with the hubby and kids in the south west (I think that were it is, since it says in your first blog thats were your located but im not sure, sorry!) before school starts again, and would love to visit it
ReplyDeleteI love the whole 'outfit of the day' idea, I would love to see more!
ReplyDeleteThank you, they are one of my favourite posts to do so I will definitely be doing more!
DeleteHiya. I know this is going to sound incredibly 'school girlish' and childish but im going to a bbq next week and the guy that I like will be there. I want to dress casual but I also want to stand out from the other girls, would it be possible to pick your brains on what possible outfits I could wear? it would be a tremendous help !!!
ReplyDeleteHello there! Not at all, outfits are so important to get right. My next post is all about date outfits so hopefully that may give you some inspiration- it should be up within the next few days! But just in case, I would normally go for a casual loose fitting dress- either a smock or maxi style with a pair of sandles and possibly a blazer or leather jacket, I hope this helps!
DeleteGreat! I'm looking forward to the post
DeleteHi there, just noticed that my comment was deleted about the manor house sand just wanted to say that I'm sorry if I caused any offence and I'm really sorry for any inconvenience.
ReplyDeleteHello there! I didn't realise the comment was deleted and was just about to reply to it, I am so sorry! You caused no offense, it was the deer park hotel. My friend and I thought we would make a special road trip to spend lunch there as we had heard lot about it and it was definitely worth the drive! I hope this helps!
DeleteOh my goodness I'm sorry as well, silly me and my brain just jumps to conclusions. Thank you very much for the name, hopefully me and my family will be able to visit.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can describe how jealous I am of your Jack wills blazer! Also this post is so cute, as you and this blog post remind me of Zoella a little. I know the new autumn collection has come out on their website so could you recommend some items for autumn?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, that's incredibly kind of you! Of course I can, one of my favourite past times is scrolling aimlessly through the Jack Wills website... I adore the Fairlawn Blazer in Damson, the Hirst Cord Utility Dress, the Heroson Cropped Cable Roll Neck Jumper, the Nerston leggings and the Aggie Cord Mini-skirt!
DeleteThanks for the suggestions, their autumn range is so good that ill have a hard time deciding what to buy Haha. When will youre date outfits post be posted ?
DeleteDon't worry, I have the same issue! Tonight hopefully!
DeleteOn the topic of Jack Wills, I know their new winter collection is all about "preppy" university style. Is it possible to request a similar kind of blog, for items such as university/college essentials/outfits to take?
DeleteHello there! Of course you can, I am working on an Autumn blog post at the moment but as soon as that is finished I can give it a try!
DeleteLOVE this blog post! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you! It happens to be one of my favourites as well!
