Rain rain rain rain...

You may have noticed it has been rather wet this last week in Cornwall! I’m not one to moan about the weather though: I love all the seasons and I like nothing more than curling up on the sofa with my Seasalt blanket and a good book, with the sound of the rain hammering it down outside.

Now I have my son those days are few and far between, and I find myself dashing through Truro to get to a play group whilst wrestling with an umbrella while he is tucked up nice and dry in his waterproof buggy.

I have been looking for some time for a suitable waterproof jacket with a hood that has a flattering silhouette but that’s also slightly edgy or on trend. Whilst there are some great products out there I hadn’t managed to find anything the quite hit the spot for me. …until now that is!

I am very happy to say that on my recent trip to London I came across Parka London. They not only make the coolest Parka Coats (with amazing hoods) for winter but they have a fantastic range of wet weather gear for SS15 that fits exactly what I was looking. I am very excited to say that I will be stocking them in the boutique as they are so perfect for the ever-changeable Cornish climate!

"PARKA designs classic yet modernist garments for free thinking, style-conscious individuals who appreciate timeless design. Their aim is to curate a passionate love affair between you and your coat. It’s effortless style personified; throwing it on, feeling great, and having faith in your coat. For the women a sense of grace is achieved with the wearing of each silhouette."
