Festival Favourites: Boots to brighten up a rainy day

Hunter RHS Original boots will brighten up a day’s work in the garden, look great  on soggy festival days, add a little sparkle to a wild walk in the country or a trip to town. Hunter RHS Original boots were made with the gardener in mind and designed especially for the Royal Horticultural Society. The pretty  flower design looks like wild flowers on a spring meadow, I can see ransoms, dog violet, sheep's bit and common vetch. Leave a comment if you can identify any other wild flowers.

Royal Horticultural Society. Established in 1804, the RHS is the UK’s leading gardening charity dedicated to advancing horticulture, promoting good gardening and helping all gardeners everywhere.

Looks like lots of high thigh slit sleek body hugging dresses and huge flower petal design hats are winning the day. The Iris inspired dark blue and yellow outfit was stunning. Also noticed the cute Black and white spot mini dress worn with a huge brim matching hat and a flora and fauna pink blossom print trouser suit teamed with a simple fascinator and butterfly design leather bag. .
