My love affair with classic British “country style” borders on obsession. However, the fact that I live in San Francisco leaves me a little hard pressed to justify a closet full of jodhpurs, riding boots and thick tartan scarves; although rugged all weather waxed rain slickers may have their moments. Not one to be deterred by silly challenges such as irrelevance to lifestyle, I have been quietly cultivating a small collection of English country goods over the years. I am just positive there is a charming country house over there that I am due to inherit shortly from some unknown and very splendid relative and, when we do, I would like to be prepared.
For me, Barbour epitomizes Iconic English country style. In fact, one of my very first shopping trips for baby Cal (at 20 weeks along in my pregnancy) involved snapping up the most adorable miniature Barbour vest. I may or may not have already tried this size 2 year plus clothing item on my 10 week old.
Until my country house appears, I will depend on Barbour to keep inspiring my English country style aesthetic.
