Modern Country Style Fashion For Fall / Autumn 2016!

Yes, hallelujah, the time has come to snuggle up, hunker down and drool over the best of Modern Country Style Fashion For Autumn/Fall! 

Have you been feeling the chill in the air now that autumn/ fall has arrived? We've been kicking around crinkling leaves, and breathing in the heady scent of wood fires as we walk along in the dusk, which gets earlier and earlier by the day.  

Key Pieces This Season

Cashmere sweaters in earthy tones

A dash of colour in your accessories

Oversized knits

Blanket scarves

Ripped skinny jeans

Don't be afraid of splashing out on a couple of these key pieces. As I've said before Modern Country Style Fashion doesn't strive to stay at the forefront of runway quirkiness. It thrives instead on calm understatedness and cosy elegance, qualities which, happily, last for a lifetime.

Turn with joy to the cosier sections of your wardrobe. The snuggly jumpers. The knee high boots. The longer, woollier scarves. And revel in the intimacy of these longer, darker evenings.

I'm LOVING this time of year, and the chance to revisit some year-on-year besties! What are your favourite  Modern Country Style Fashion looks this autumn/fall?

The Old Country Sweet Shop: Cotswold House Tour!

Yes, it's true! This gorgeous home, tucked away in the Cotswolds, used to be a sweet shop! Can you imagine anything better for a previous life? A sweet shop?! I love it!

And its interior is every bit as enticing. Shall we take a full tour?....

Starting with this gorgeous Cotswold stone exterior.

...and then into the hall:

Hungarian bench: tick

Cotswold stone: tick

Neutral palette with touches of red: tick

Country Living Dream Complete!

Next, come into this gorgeous Country living room...

...complete with beams, another exposed Cotswold stone wall and, of course, a roaring fire!

The blue and white Country kitchen has enough room for a small table...

...but leads through to a beautiful dining area...

...that also functions as an airy second sitting room

Upstairs leads to a whole host of bedrooms, all decorated in the same soft country style...

Isn't it all so pretty?

And so, and I use this word with care, quaint?!

Even the outside has an old-school country charm...

And, what's more, this house is for sale...do you think the bunting comes included?!

And Oh. My. Goodness.

I mean, Oh. My Goodness!!

Just WOW!

The Best Modern Country Kitchen Ever?!

I think that this may be the most beautiful example of a Modern Country Kitchen I've ever seen. Come with me on a little tour and see if you agree...

It's designed by a bespoke kitchen company called Davonport and is an utterly perfect blend of Modern and Country.

What is it that makes this a Modern Country Kitchen?

Well, the beautiful blend of greys (try Little Green Lead and Dulux Stone Green for similar), chrome detailing and touches of black  make sure that this traditionally styled kitchen is firmly placed in the contemporary...

...while the shaker-style cabinets, cup handles, touches of warm wood and the open shelving keep its feet planted gently in the country...

...and the piece de resistance is this stunning over mantel...

I adore the mix of straight lines and curves, and the attention to detail on every front is incredible:

So, are you with me?

Would you want to sit down, perhaps with a novel and a cup of tea, and luxuriate away an afternoon in this gorgeous Modern Country Kitchen?
