winter into spring
it's really beginning to happening - birds singing in the early morning, days getting longer, - spring's coming and a wander in the fresh air will blow away winter cobwebs, then home for a delicious cup of the very special Hoogly Tea
but those impostant layers are still needed to keep out the chill, so it's the perfect time to invest in a vintage or new tweed coat or jacket ....
favourite finds include Walker Slater - their style, functionality and natural weather proofing means you will love wearing it year after year, maybe with a simple Paul James pure extra fine merino wool roll neck jumper that's warm to touch and comfortable to wear striaght to the skin over one of Jo Rossell's unique unwired but supportive bras made from luxurious natural fibres which are also comforting to the skin.
or for a timeless layered look under the jacket, add a new fairisle fittted vest from Hambro & Miller or a vintage find from Revival Vintage, over a perfect fitting classic white shirt from The Shirt Company
and for those 'stay inside times' swap the tweed jacket for a wethered fairisle shawl neck cardigan from Oldfield Clothing .
and thinking of those little
chains that you catch a glimpse of under a shirt ... treat yourself to a look at the simply divine Sharu
jewellery collections by Italian
designer Masha - created by hand, made in Italy using 18 kt

creations don't follow trends of fashions precisely because they want
to be timeless.
