Bright and Peppy

Last night, in an effort to relax before bed, I sorted the mail and found a catalog from Boden.  This is a *new to me* UK based shop and I'm not sure how they got my shipping address, but I decided to curl up and give it a go.  The bright, preppy beachwear I found wasn't exactly relaxing but rather quite invigorating!  Bold colors, classic shapes, and fun patterns make for new addition to my spring wish list.

The prices are definitely reasonable and with a $10 flat shipping rate, I'd say they sent that catalog to the right person.

    I got their catalog too, once, completely out of the blue. They generally seem to have some really cute stuff. Love the flats!

    They do have such fun things! I always have to remember how to "translate" the sizing but items look great.

    PS- I "read" catalogs before I go to sleep to help wind down too!

    I have always loved Mini Boden for my daughters clothes. They looked so cute and would really last. Sales are usually great.

    Those flats are to die for! Gorgeous shade of purple, and it would look very cute some dark jeans.
