UK brands I love

I thought I might share with my lovely readers some UK brands that I really love. There is nothing better than waking up to a drizzly, misty day (what?) - and remembering that it means I get to wear my wellies! Rainy days are few and far between here in California, so, when they do actually happen I take it as a sign to bust out all my English countryside wear with gusto.

I'd wanted a good pair of wellies as long as I can remember, but just couldn't justify having them and living in California. So I was extremely pleased that on a recent trip to Edinburgh, Scotland, it would not stop raining - the perfect excuse!!! Oh course, I didn't spring for just the pretty coloured ones, nope. I had to buy the Union Jack version, and I am so glad I did! Now, I'm reminded of the beautiful United Kingdom every time I put them on. (as if I needed help in that department) 

Oh course, you all probably know already that the Wellington boot is a type of boot based upon leather Hessian boots, which became popular in the 18th century. They were worn and popularised by Authur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. The Wellington boot became a staple of hunting and outdoor wear for the British aristocracy in the early 19th century.

What do you all think? Which would you go for? Or would you go for another brand altogether?
