BRUGES

Wearing:

cashmere & wool top from Shanghai

pinstripe shorts from Sandro, similar here

loafers from Shanghai (in desperate need of replacements! any ideas?)

sunglasses from Bvlgari

The last time I visited Bruges was with Jarv, my brother and his girlfriend. We'd hoped to spend a few hours walking around this extremely photogenic town but it was bitterly cold and the most vicious wind was tugging at our jackets and chilling us right to the bone, so we had no option but to run indoors for hot drinks instead. This was in the middle of April, by the way. So when I returned to Belgium a few weeks ago (my mother and grandmother were staying with my brother in his amazing new house), I gave Bruges another go. Okay, it was still a tad windy but tolerable, and was the perfect backdrop for an outfit shoot, wearing my mother's gorgeous new cashmere top (ideal for this sort of day - not wintry, yet not warm either) and my latest Bicester bargain, a pair of pinstriped Sandro shorts that I foresee myself wearing a lot this summer. A lot, a lot.
