Fashion: Weekend in the British Countryside

Weekend in the Countryside anyone??
Time away in the UK always poses a challenge on deciding what to pack, no amount of checking the forecast will guarantee what the weather is going to be like. 
Hot in the sun, freezing in the shade, how is a girl to cope with looking stylish! LAYERS! That's the answer. Anything goes when it comes to layering, mix and match colours, textures, patterns. I've picked a few key pieces I'll be asking away with me over easter weekend. 
I never fly anywhere without a huge scarf, my favourite of the minute is the classic Louis Vuitton leopard stole, I love the mix of navy in the one above, next a fab update from last springs khaki version that everyone seemed to be coverting from zara. 
The parka with a leather sleeve a little utility with an edge. When it comes to basics I love American Vintage, I find they wear (and wash) very well, and are thick enough to wear alone, without everyone seeing your belly button!! Top left we have a cool cashmere sweater from Iris and Ink at The Outnet, and bottom middle boyfriend style from h&m both look fab worn layered with a denim shirt, or with a statement necklace and your favourite skinny jeans for an evening look. 
My footwear of choice for my weekend away is a comfy pair of trainers, these New Balance blend perfectly with my capsule wardrobe and of course Wellington boots! 
You never know when the sky's will open and your taking your country walks splashing through muddy puddles.
