A walk in the Woods..
Did you have a lovely Christmas? I hope so!
Spot my new baby..yep..a Hipsters for Sisters leopard bag as drooled over here..and I LOVE it! Versatile, accommodating and a true thrill to wear..the belt option is GENIUS…but it’s so easy to wear cross body as well…love, love, LOVE!
One happy bunny!
We spent yesterday taking the Blanket Coat for a walk, enjoying the blue skies (after all our storms) and blowing some cobwebs at Richmond Park..
You’d never guess we were still in London..
We played poo sticks (I lost).
Saw a woodpecker..
And stood under a parrot tree! (Not for too long..)
Till the dusk came down and it was time to head home..
To a roaring fire and left-over Christmas pudding…heaven!

Amazing coat…
You always have an eye for the vintage! It’s a vintage blanket coat from Canada and a joy to wear! xxx
I love your coat!
It’s certainly a statement piece..ahhh the magic of vintage! xxx
Heaven indeed ! Every working day, I wear my leopard bag across my body (my Sonia Rykiel piece is bigger than your fabulous Hipsters for Sisters because I carry a lot of stuff !), so I think that your present is perfection, like this gorgeously ethnic coat and this fab purple scarf ! xxxxx
There’s something truly fabulous about a leopard print bag – really goes with everything, I understand your love for your Sonia Rykiel. I’m also sold on the gold chain strap (the clever thing with this bag is when you wear it as a belt bag the chain becomes with belt which is also a joy!..perfect with boyfriend jeans and a pinstriped jacket!) It’s nice to be back..good to have a break..nice to be back! xxx
Your new bag is beautiful! Looks like you had a great day in the woods. Great pictures! What is poo sticks?
Hehe. And I thought poo sticks was an international game! But I suppose, for us, the basis does come from the childhood stories of Winnie the Pooh..You stand on a bridge and drop sticks in..then rush to the other side to see who’s stick appears first! Simple, childish..a joy! xxx
Gorgeous coat worn with true fabulousness! I went to the beach on Sunday and blew my cobwebs in warm sunshine too xx👯
A trip to the beach! How WONDERFUL! Good job we took the chance when we both did..the dark grey gales and driving rain are back…soggy, soggy, soggy! xxx
Good idea about limiting the time under the Parrot Tree. Do I really want to know what “poo sticks” is? OK, I’ll bite. What is “poo sticks”? My guess is that it is when something unmentionable sticks to your shoes….
Great blanket coat!
Ha! There’re also deer in Richmond Park (Charlie was convinced they were reindeer) but there was much discussion about the field of deer poo we walked through (city kids? mine? never!) but the truth is much simpler.. xxx
Looks like a lovely day!!! Lovin’ the leopard bag xx
I swear it was the one day this week when the sun has shone! But it was a beaut! I am still stroking said bag… xxx
Love your coat! and the shades. Beautiful pics xd
It is a fab coat – I always think the best place to buy a coat from is a country that truly knows winter..then they make them warm, light and made to last! xxx
You look fabulous! Enjoy the rest of the festive season, hope there’s walks and mulled wine a plenty.
Mulled wine!..I now have many ‘add amaretto’ converts..it IS the nectar of the winter Gods! xxx
Hmm – amaretto – hadn’t thought of that. Cheers!
Love the belt and the blanket coat!! What a dream of a day! Gorgeous xx
I wish it would stop raining so I could wear my coat more..before long it’ll be summer again!! But it’s a special place and a joy to see blue sky! xxx
Loving the leopard and shades! Xx
Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! xxx
Bag is total eye candy! Hope you had a lovely Christmas! X
It was lovely thank you – loud, noisy, lots of food, drink and board games..just the way I like it! xxx
Love the bag, but can we talk about that coat??! LOVE! So glad someone else asked about poo sticks 🙂 Wasn’t what I had envisioned (thank GOD!) haha.
!!!! I think Maya would be a fan! xxx
Don’t think there is anything more wonderful in life than a long + stylish walk in the woods…
in the company of a loving family…
and even a few parrots..lol…;)
In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks. ~John Muir
I agree..true contentment is actually very simple. The parrots were amazing – obviously escaped birds – but they were calling to each other to come to this one tree and become a parrot gang! xxx
Love the bag!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
I’ll wear it out the amount I’m wearing it! Although I have been wondering what other bags I can use with the chain..hehe.. xxx
I was in Richmond park yesterday! Oh! I could have seen you! I was staying at my brothers and we walked to Pembroke Lodge and sat outside with coffee and cookies! Gorgeous winters day!
NO!! What a small, small world..we stopped for a coffee and vitals too…enormous queue and just got to the front before the hot food ran out! I feel the music of the twlight zone coming on… xxx
What a very lovely day you had! Glad you shared with us!
Simple is best.. xxx
I can just feel the air biting at the tip of my nose! Glad you explained poo sticks-I was barking up a different tree altogether! Boy, what a cuddlesome coat! x
Hope the weather in Ireland is keeping you on your toes! The perfect place for a game of poo sticks I would’ve thought?! (And yes – lady with red hanky..mind blowing! you think – no – no – you can’t..and she goes right there!!) xxxxx
What a beautiful photo trip! Especially love the last one…gorgeous. Almost as gorgeous as that blanket coat. And I have to say the parrot tree is a puzzler. I’d have thought it too cold for them to survive winters outdoors. I’ve seen flocks of wild parrots in LA but London?
Sounds like a FAB day! Happy New Year Kate!!!
Every now and then we get the parrots even in our little local common..they do seem to be the same type of parrot – always green – maybe they’re particularly hardy! they’d need to be! xxxxx
Beautiful photos and it looks fun. Loving your coat.
Thank you! I bought it on the internet which is never easy..you never REALLY know what you’re going to get..but I struck very lucky! xxx
