CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE- FOR DOGS

Hello everyone! This is probably going to be the shortest Christmas Gift Guide Blog in the series. It will be Skye's second birthday on Christmas Eve this year so we've had to think about what her presents can be!


I got her this Christmas Caterpillar from Pets At Home because I thought it was adorable. It has multiple squeaks as well and I'm sure Skye will have a lot of fun with this. Skye has a habit of trashing toys so we'll have to keep an eye on her when she plays with this.

 Pets At Home also have these squeaky sprout toys. Amelia has bought one of these for Skye but I haven't seen it yet. I believe these come in various sizes.

Last year my Dad and I picked up a Barbour collar for Skye (very posh I know) but it was a bit big so we've been waiting for her to grow a bit. I mean, your dog probably won't show much appreciation for it but they will look very stylish!

I absolutely love these Joules dog beds. They look so smart and cosy as well. There are different styles and sizes available to suit your dog. I believe these are available in Pets At Home as well as online at Joules. I have definitely seen them at my local Millbry Hill.

In the winter months it gets cold for our four legged friends as well. Why not treat your dog to a jacket? These Rydale dog coats are available in fleece, tweed or wax and look so smart! They're quite affordable as well.

How about a classy dog bowl? I absolutely love Wrendale designs and the dog bowls look so cute! There are loads of other accessories available on the website for you as well as your dog!

 Finally, most supermarkets or pet shops sell ready made dog stockings. We've got one for Skye and they tend to include treats and small toys.

That's everything for this blog, I know it's been a short one but I've had so much going on at uni at the moment that I'm struggling to find blogging time. Hopefully I should have my last gift guide blog up soon and then on Saturday I will be starting Blogmas!

Thanks for reading!

RYDALE MILLY II WAX JACKET REVIEW

Hello everybody!

Recently I was very kindly sent a jacket from Rydale Clothing and I was so excited to get outside and wear it! The Milly II Belted Wax Jacket comes in four different colours and is perfect for these autumn months!
Mine is in the olive colour and has a gorgeous lining with a wild meadow pattern inspired by the Yorkshire countryside. I love the attention to detail, as the studs all have 'Rydale' embossed on them. I like how there is a high waisted belt which enhances the feminine shape. I love the way it looks and can't wait to wear it more often now we are getting into colder weather.

I went on a walk with Skye and the jacket was perfect for keeping me warm. There was a breeze today and I was glad to have the jacket as a protective layer. I also wore my Malham Classic Leather Boots and my Hannah Country Check Shirt in Poacher Beige.

On my way home (once my lovely photographer AKA Mum was inside safe and dry), the heavens opened and I got caught in an awful shower. I wasn't expecting rain as the sky was blue and sunny when I left. The Milly II jacket did an amazing job of keeping my top half dry! I was really impressed with how waterproof it was and was relieved to only have to change my soaking jeans (and blow dry my hair) when I got back, rather than have a full outfit change.

I am so in love with this jacket and will be featuring it in many outfit posts in the future! The jacket is so affordable as well! At the small price of £45, you receive a beautiful jacket that looks stunning whilst doing its job of keeping you warm and dry. The materials are high quality and I can tell already that this jacket will last me many years to come. Best of all, it's made here in the UK!

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed this blog! I'd love you to tell me whether you have anything from Rydale and what your favourite pieces are! I've fallen in love with the Garton II Fleece Gilet with Pheasant Motif and think I'll have to add it to my collection! Now is the perfect time to buy any fleece item from Rydale as for one week only, they have 10% off fleeces if you use the code FL10 at the checkout!
