Ooh look, another post featuring broderie.. am I getting predictable?! Don't worry though, I've got a bucket-load of photos of roses to share, so enjoy ;)
(If you didn't catch my recent post re. broderie then I'd recommend a look if you're after some inspo)
Outfit Details
Woven bag with wooden handles (also love this one)
Sun hat (Etsy, alternative here)
I own more expensive broderie pieces of course (Boden, La Redoute, H&M or Nordstrom/Shopbop are my favourite places to go) but if you're on a tight budget, just don't want to spend as much or are looking for a bargain, then I'd recommend having a peek at Shein. And before you roll your eyes (I've recently seen a number of pieces on Shein that are literally identical to those I've seen in Zara, so there's something for you..) and think I've turned to promoting fast and disposable fashion, I think Shein have improved their ways enormously, as long as you've the knack when shopping their site. My two recommendations are to check the measurements (because they're all there and pretty accurate) and to stick to pieces that are 100% cotton, because their polyester pieces can look frankly cheap.
They have many many broderie options but I've picked nine alternatives to the dress I'm wearing:
If you're into your gardens at all and want inspiration/advice about roses then there's no better a place to visit than Mottisfont, Hampshire. I shared snaps from our visit last year but I of course couldn't pass on going again this year.
This rose 'Pink Gruss an Aachen' might be my favourite - it's such a delicate ombre of peach through to palest pink.
Although the weather for the majority of our time there was perfectly warm and sunny, we did have a fleeting shower just before we left, and the little droplets of rain on the petals just made everything look all the more magical. Plus, petrichor. Always welcome.
