The Very
Best Things To Do This Summer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dear,
Here comes the sun! But
how to make the most of it? No need to jet set when the UK is brimming with
so many beautiful spots.
Take a stroll across
pastoral green fields (why not end at a cute
country pub?), or take a trip to the beach
with a picnic in
tow, donning your swimsuit,
your favourite floral
dress and, of course, some lovely summer loafers.
Our favourites are Crockett
& Jones, especially with the new Riviera collection. A
Great British brand with 100 percent of Goodyear welted production in
Northampton, England, this super soft, European styled collection of summer
weight loafers benefits from the SUPERFLEX leather sole – exclusive to Crockett
& Jones and their most flexible leather sole ever – which
offers comfort and grip while being extremely hardwearing.
|
|
|
|
Pick your favourite
pair, and head out on your summer soujourn.
Enjoy,
|
|
|
|
