It's
been a while, and I hope everyone has enjoyed a happy and beautiful
summer. We've been on a round-trip through England, from the North down
to London, to the South West and Wales, seeing family and friends.
Back
home, July and August are the hottest months of the year, and so it was
wonderful to breathe some cooler air, and to walk across green hills and
fields. We were so lucky with the weather, most of the time it was
clear and sunny, and nothing beats the beauty of the English countryside
on days like this.

My
capsule wardrobe makes packing easy, and trusted combinations of staple
pieces sometimes only need slight changes to adapt them to different
times and places. The style sheet below is a variation of what I wore in
Paris a couple of months ago,
only that I changed the trousers from red to blue, and left out the
blazer, which made it a perfect day look for a walk in the English
countryside.
