When I was 6 years old I carefully sellotaped library tickets into all my children’s books! They had my name on, and I even made little paper pockets for them to sit in, just like in the real ‘big girls’ Library!

So I guess ‘if you like it then you’d better put a label on it’ right? I blame blogging for encouraging my ongoing obsession with labels and branding today!

I wore my new Baukjen boyfriend jeans and and an old lace blouse for the occasion The breeze was slightly chilly by the water’s edge, so we headed for the sand dunes, to take some snaps of my new Baukjen jeans and belt before lunch.

This blouse is from February 2017 ( take a look at how I wore it back then? ) and I’m still wearing and re-wearing it!
