Brora Summer Sale


 Today is the first day of the Brora summer sale, hip hip hooray!
My spring coat, the Textured Weave Coat  is greatly reduced and still available in all sizes.  I have worn this coat constantly all spring and into the early summer.  It is still proving itself very useful in the heat as a guard against air conditioning.  I have had so many compliments on it, to the point where women are stopping me on the street to tell me they love it.  Highly recommended!  Though don't take my word for it, there are several reviews (one of them mine) on the site and I'm not the only person completely ga-ga over this coat.


It is taking every ounce of my frail willpower not to order the absolutely darling spring suit pictured below.
Spring Tweed Jacket

Spring Tweed Wrap Skirt
 Isn't it so perfect!
I also adore the stole pictured below.
Embroidered Wool Stole in Dove Grey
 I have a few wool stoles from Brora and they are so absolutely handy and outfit-making.  Beautiful colours and soft wool... gorgeous.


I've been setting aside money in my paypal account for the sale and with the blasted exchange rate it didn't go as far as I hoped.  I decided to purchase the items on my wishlist that would get the most wear, and these do not include summer items as I live in Canada and it is cold for so much of the year.

Cashmere Aran Coat in Heath
 The "heath" colour offered by Brora is a perfect neutral and it looks terrific with brown, which I wear loads of in the fall and winter.  The Cashmere Aran Coat is super luxurious and warm, I betcha I'll wear it every day.  More comfortable than a structured jacket and easy to wear indoors and out, it was top of my list and has been since it premiered last year.
I added some of the taller, thicker Brora socks to my order for the coat.
Cashmere Folk Socks

Cashmere Fair Isle Socks
These socks are quite dear at regular price but at the sale make a sensible, if completely decadent, addition to your legwear drawer.  With boots for walks in the fall and winter or just to wear at home snuggled up in front of a movie, they are bliss on the feet.
I hope your week is going well.  Happy sale shopping if you are indulging this go-round.
