The English Tea Party

In eight days time, on the 27^th June, 30,000 people are expected to flock to Henley to watch the regatta. Of the 15 different countries that compete, I believe nothing screams casual-elegance more than the dress code stipulated by the event. Below the knee hemlines, no trousers or playsuits for the ladies and lounge suits or blazers with flannels for the gents.

But the one thing I’ve taken away with me is that you can’t beat the feeling of drinking Pimms and eating strawberries in the sunshine surrounded by people who look like they’ve stepped right out of a traditional English tea party. I also went to a wedding last year, which had the same beautiful vintage vibe with parasols, picnic mats and bunting in the trees along with a stunning array of colourful blazers and summery dresses.

In light of this, I think that there are some silhouettes which will never go out of fashion and can’t help but make you feel beautiful and happy. Here's a few of my favorite finds that I've stumbled across.

Going through all the photos, that's what.
There is definitely a downside to being snap happy.

But I'm being productive too, I'm making myself more organized slowly, but surely.

I have discovered an absolute wealth of fabric awaiting their transformation into garments. However, all I've made so far are a big bow, a little ring and a detachable collar...
