Style Britannia: Tweed

If I think tweed, I think country.

{Hand in hand like
a steaming mug of cocoa
and lashings of whipped cream.}

But do I think Modern Country?
Do I think Style Britannia?

A big fat yes from me.
Just take a squiz at these.
Then look me in the eye and
try to tell me you can't see a
glimmer of goodness in them.


You can't do it can you?

I see that glimmer in your eye, cherry pie.
Thinking: how can I make that look work for me?


That's exactly where I hope I cam help you.
Tomorrow I'll show you how I style it my way.

Tweed's come a long way, bab-ay.

  13. Tweed? In Florida, US it is in the 90'sF and the thought of tweed is making me sweat. Hot, sticky, damp wool smell. Ask me again in November.

  15. Hello Sarah! How are you today? I hope you had a wonderful Monday! :)

    Tweed is a lovely fabric, but I don't think I have ever owned any, actually. Maybe after you show us how to make it work for us, I will have to change this! :)

    Blessings,
    Jenni
