(Wellies – Exact, Jeans – Exact & Similar, Jacket – Exact, Hat – Exact)
As most of you know already, I live in the countryside and am surrounded by a lot of farm land and nature, so instead of doing a regular outfit post like fashion bloggers always do, I thought it might be nice to share with you something more in the lifestyle department. I love to go on walks and explore my surroundings, so this time we took the camera with us!
This is me dressed in my countryside attire, ha ha. This always includes a pair of Hunter wellies so I don’t worry where I tread, and trust me, you can step in a lot of bad things lol, coupled with a windbreaker and waterproof jacket, this one being from Peter Storm, and a pair of warm jeans, like my Citizens of Humanity Rocket jeans, finally finished with a hat, this one being from Topshop. Depending on the weather I sometimes have gloves and a scarf with me, to keep me warm.
I actually got these Hunter boots and the Peter Storm jacket from the popular outdoors store, Blacks. Some of you might already know it, but if you don’t, they are great for having everything you need when out and about in the country, so it’s really nice to be able to collaborate with them. Getting to the scenery though, I’ve taken a few photos of the stream/brook near me and of my adventures, so I hope you enjoy them! And of course, if you are wearing wellies, how can you not splash about in water?! Let me know what you think!

Thank you Jessica 🙂
Love the purple in the outfit. I haven’t seen many people wear the Aubergine Hunters much but they look incredible, especially on you! As always, you make Hunters look great and are a HUGE reason why i love them 🙂
Sadly i have to admit i must retire my black matte adjustable Hunters, they were my very first pair but lately the inside where my back heel pushes down on the left foot is wearing completely out to the point of uncomfortable to walk in. I thought about insoles but they are just wearing too much to keep patching up.
With that however, i think a new pair of black ones are in order. Think its time i get me my first gloss pair?
Author
Thank you Eric, I’m glad you like them so much 🙂 I’m so sorry your black ones broke, that’s not good! But yes, I definitely think a new pair are in order and gloss black would be amazing!
You look like you had a lot of fun. Also prefect outfit for a walk.

Thanks Amy!

Awesome I will keep you posted on when i get them. You should definitely take a picture of all your Hunter Boots in a row, I would love to see how your collection looks altogether. I still remember when i bumped into your blog in your really cute navy ones 🙂 you still wear them much?
Author
I have one on my Instagram of 4 pairs of Hunter boots together! But not the full 6 now 🙂 Yeah, the Navy ones are the ones I wear the most actually. They get the most use since they go with absolutely everything!
Yes i agree! Though i was always partial to my black ones. Nothing says confident and sexy like some tall black boots! My other ones i have pretty limited outfit choices i like to wear with them. I think your next pair should either be fuschia pink or forest green. Absolutely love the color on them and think you would too!
Author
I don’t want anything too bright as I probably wouldn’t wear them much, so I think my next pair would be burgundy! Gloss burgundy! But now that I have 6 pairs, I don’t have any room for anymore lol!
Haha theres always room for more Hunters! Burgundy would be a great choice! I saw your pic of the wellies together, i think its cute! You have them all lined up just how mine are in my closet. Also idk if that bandage dress you posted is you wearing it or not but it is a slammin sexy dress!
Author
Yeah that is me, if it’s not me in a photo I will credit who it belongs to, but yeah that’s my dress! I will be posting it in a couple of weeks here on the blog once the weather is nicer to shoot the photos!
Excellent! You should definitely get yourself a rugby shirt though! Ralph Lauren makes them in many different styles but they are super comfy and warm, great for a fall/winter attire! Heres a pic of just one example:

Lol, we have been through this before! I don’t like them as they aren’t my style, but they look nice on other people.
Haha i figured since they had a country feel to them you might 😉 curious, is Ralph Lauren a popular brand over there?
Author
Not really, I mean it’s around and it’s mainly the posher boys that wear it, like the Cambridge and Oxford boys, but other than that no, I never see any women in it or anything 🙂
Wow im kinda surprised. I mean i understand the posh boys, same here but posh girls do too as well. Admittedly i have a soft spot for it, especially the big pony polos.
What do you think of THESE Hunters Lorna? http://cdn6.giltcdn.com/images/share/uploads/0000/0000/9360/93605999/420×560.jpg?oq=85

Oh the ones with laces I don’t like. I think they look really strange and not really like any wellies I’ve seen, I wouldn’t wear them. Yeah I never see girls in it, I guess they tend to dress a little differently around here lol.
Oh you look like you are having so much fun hun xx
Author
Thank you Jenny!
The scenery looks absolutely stunning, but I love your wellies babe. Those are so sweet.

Just got my glossy black Hunters. Omg. Idk how I’ve ever lived without gloss boots. They are amazing!
Author
Yay! I’m sure they look fabulous!
Yes they do! Gonna break them in tomorrow since its gonna be a rainy one 🙂 love getting to wear new boots!
Author
Are you going to post them on your blog? 🙂
Lorna,
This loOks like a fun day playing around ! #welliesfetish
Author
Thank you!
I love hunter wellies! I have 4 pairs myself and adore every one of them. You look darling in yours, which are your favorite ones?
Author
Thank you! I would probably say my navy gloss! But I do love the ruby gloss too!
Hi Lorna just wanted to say stumbled across your blog & wow, you seem to pull off any outfit you decide to wear whether something sleek & sexy or a practical coat & wellies ! Judging by your blog I think you must be the only girl in Britain with perhaps more pairs of wellies than my other half too which is saying something !
Anyway just wanted to say great pics & style x
Author
Thank you so much! That’s really kind of you! I think I own about 6 pairs now, ha ha!
Sounds like you’ll have to have a competition – she’s also a fan of hunters & has a few Joules pairs though think they’re relegated to car boot last time I checked. Keep saying she has enough but strangely enough every 6 months or a new colour proves too hard to resist & voila, the collections extended ! I know what you mean about British weather too, I think of late fashion’s catching onto the fact that here in Uk we get a LOT of rain hence lots of raincoats, etc becoming more fashionable whether that be classic Burberry trench or cute waterproofs. Been seeing a lot of yellow around lately that perhaps previously were only seen on fishermen but now considered otherwise … this kinda thing

Think you’d rock that look if ever you trade in your purple Peter Storm but anyway I’m waffling now so keep on splashing & keep up the good work 😉

Oh this coat here was the one I wore as it was lightweight and I got it with the wellies from the company I was working for in the post. I actually love yellow rain coats like that! I think they are cool. They remind me a lot of Paddington the Bear. I definitely need to invest in a really pretty raincoat I think, it’s just finding one that’s the issue. I have the Damson Hunter’s on my wish list now too, lol!
LOL You do have good taste & oddly enough aside from sharing an ever-expanding wellie collection my other half has also recently acquired a yellow raincoat ! Checked our Petit bateau one that they sell in Urban Outfitters but settled on rubber-coated one from joules after & seems pleased & definitely keeps her dry. I wont bother posting links as sure you’re on top of things but she went for shorter length one as apparently cuter & less fisherman like lol
Not heard of damson hunters previously but just looked – nice, pretty plum-like tho – would they “go” with a yellow raincoat tho ? I’m thinking blue/navy .. or bright red but hey, your the expert ;o) Go check out those coats & marks outta 10 please … lol
Author
The Joules one with the blue buttons and striped blue and white hood? I’ve seen that one and think it’s quite cute. I would probably pick the Petit Bateau one as I saw that one a while back, it looks really classic in terms of yellow raincoats!
The Damson colour is blood red, not so much plum, that might be your screen, but they are a rich, glossy, deep red!
Hey Lorna, I just wanted to say that you have some very nice Hunter Boots. I think you should get some yellow ones. Do you still wear Hunters?
Author
Hi, no not really. I have a few for sale. I only kept a select few colours for rainy days.
Cool. Where do you have them for sale?
Author
I haven’t even listed them yet! I sold 3 pairs via my Instagram, but I have more I plan to sell. Are you interested?
Yes.
