I have friends that Have a farm in Essex. Invited there for lunch I decided it would make great timing to take some shots of this stunning outfit of Leopard and Cerise.
They have miniature ponies on the farm and what I had in mind was to take some photos close up with them. They weren’t playing at all!
You may have seen the advert for Amazon Prime that these gorgeous American miniature ponies have featured in? Apparently, it’s one of the most viewed adverts on Youtube.
Adding Cerise with animal print
There’s such an animal print craze this year. I mean, animal print is always and will always be popular but this year the trend is humungous! Walking through the local town there’s a sea of animal print!
This is my third new animal print top this year. Yep, I’m a fan alright. I find it such an easy to mix with anything kind of print.
The colour hue’s of this tie-neck blouse is Stone Black and White are soft, not brash like some out there.
I like the tie neck worn lower than shown on the model on the website and it’s semi-fitted for comfort with elasticated sleeves. I really like it.
I wish I had brought apples!
I had visions of having a pony either side of me, looking cute, plus of course, I wanted to get close and love them. I couldn’t get any closer than what you see here!
In hindsight, I should have brought apples and maybe if it wasn’t so cold I would have had more patience and hung around longer. It was sunny at this point but the wind factor put the temperature into minus. What us bloggers do eh?
How cute are they?
I’m sure I will visit again when it’s warmer again. I’m determined to give them some love! Anyway getting back to the outfit…
Cerise Moi?
I fell in love with the colour of these trousers. They are in fact listed as Ruby Red Slim Leg Trousers. I think they’re more of a Cerise colour. A bright colour for me but I really love the jewel tone of these and thought how good these can be dressed up for a night out too.
As I said before, the animal print is so easy to mix with other colours and I think these two items will work hard in the wardrobe.
The trousers are the same as my Brown Cafe trousers that I had last year. They fit so well and the quality is so good. Obviously a good seller, Laura Ashley launched more of this design this year in different colours and prints. I recommend them greatly.
Do pop over to the Laura Ashley site because I’m hosting over there
No heels today! I dressed sensibly for my farm visit. I had a coat to hand too. Brrrr
I finished the look off with this cute Green Crocodile Cross Body bag. A double compartment zipped bag that’s going to come in handy for this AW18 it’s a very dark green and looks almost black. It’s available in a lovely tan colour too. A lot more expensive looking than it actually is.

Yes apples Tina! Thank you! xx
That blouse is gorgeous, Laurie, and I would have worn the neck tie lower as well. I’d never have thought to pair it with cerise, but it really works. It’s a fabulous combination. What a pity the ponies wouldn’t play 😉 xxx

It was a bet that they would go together Ann. It paid off thankfully and the trousers will be great for evening wear xx
The ponies are so cute! Love your outfit, especially the trousers, the colour is gorgeous, they look fab!
