    The week to come….

    07/10/2012 - By 

    I thought I’d give you a sneak peek into what I have planned for countryfille.com next week: * We’re planning a trip to Naples to see The Italian’s family so I thought now would be a good time to do a Street Guide to: Napoli and off-load all the places,…

    Velvet sneakers: a Friday bargain

    05/10/2012 - By 

    I have tried a pair of these on more times than I can remember: It goes something like this: I stand nose pressed against the glass of Emma Hope’s boutique on Westbourne Grove, drawn like a magpie to the jewel coloured, silk velvet plimsolls. I sidle in, trying to act…

    My treasured Liberty bag

    04/10/2012 - By 

    My Liberty tooled patent leather maxi bag isn’t a new purchase, but a seasonal favourite that signals the switch to my autumn wardrobe. She’s been tucked up in her dust bag all summer but as the first leaves drop, out she comes: Each year I fall in love with her…

    Cycling with babies

    26/09/2012 - By 

    Great photo huh? So there has been rather a lot of debate, of the heated variety, about whether Country Bebe should get a seat on the back of my bike. We have a National Trust owned parkland that runs for 1.5 miles along by the river, linking our house to…

    25/09/2012 - By 

    I wrote this post back in spring about how, despite running out of wall space ages ago, I can’t stop buying artwork. Well, stick it in a black frame and colour me happy, I’ve just bought another two prints to add to the stack. This one is for the OH…

    My new set of wheels

    19/09/2012 - By 

    She’s a beaut huh? I just stopped on my way back from the shop to take this snap. The Italian, rather romantically, got me an original 1970 Raleigh Caprice for my birthday, a grown-up version of my very first bike in the early 80s. It’s even in the same metallic…

    I Love Mel colouring books

    11/09/2012 - By 

    Now, my husband swears that my 10 month old son picked this out himself as my first ‘mummy’ birthday present, I’m a little dubious because *even* he couldn’t be THAT good. How genius is this?! On a cold, wet afternoon who doesn’t want to get out their Caran D’Ache pencils…

    The Ultimate Autumn Cardi

    01/09/2012 - By 

    I have fallen hard for this AW12 cardi from Wrap. Shawl collar, long length, pockets, but saved from frumpiness by the leather detailing. God I love this cardi. Yes it’s £99 but I will wear it until it falls apart at the seams. I have left the Wrap London AW…
