Best of British! A very original and topical theme. But how do we translate that into our blogs? Watch and see!
Welcome to the monthly edition of Match made in Seven! We are a international group of fashion bloggers who meet once a month. One of us chooses a theme in turn, and that can be anything. A book, music, a color, a movie. And then we style an outfit based on that theme. The theme of this month is chosen by Anna and is: Best of British! Also take a look at the other bloggers how they have interpreted the theme this month.
My Best of British interpetation
With the current Brexit awareness, this is of course a very topical subject. The first thing I immediately thought of when Anna came up with this topic, to be very honest, was fish & chips, pubs, beach, sea. Very British for me of course but I am a fashion girl of course. And now I have to say that when I’m in England I don’t wear the coolest outfits, you know it has to be comfortable and warm. But today I show you a piece of “my” England in the outfits I was wearing! I really hope that the Brexit stuff will get a happy ending. At the end of May we are planning to go again and I am curious what kind of misery it will be in Calais. But it’s all worth it. As soon as we drive back to Dover I will be “home”!

Yeah sorry,but fish&chips is one of my favorite food in the UK. This is in Bognor Regis.

Floral print pencil skirt at Birling Gap
Of course there had to be a arcade
My favorite town: Brighton!
And of course there are so many Best of British places and food and pubs for me. I love New Forrest and have a pick nick between the wild horses. I love wildlife parks with otters and foxes. I love a good pub on a Saturday afternoon when all the locals celebrate their weekend. I love the o so friendly British people who always have time for a chat. And I can go on for hours to name all that is so beautiful about England. I lost my heart to this wonderful country decades ago!
And now take a look at how my lovely blogger friends interpreted Best of British!

And it wasn’t that heavy! hahaha.
Nancy, what a great way to interpret Best of British! Yes, fish and chips and pubs!! I kept thinking of Twiggy and Kate Middleton and knew I couldn’t pull them off! Haha! You look very stylish on your trips to England, too.
Now, I wonder what next month will bring…

Oh Nancy if I see your wonderful post, I would like to travel to Britain again 🙂
Great! ❤️

It is a fabulous country isn’t it!
Oh Brighton, I love to go there… I was surprised my husband told me he would like to go too! Yeah, so perhaps a short trip is on his way!
Author
Ah, and then we will meet in England! Haha, I am going in may and hope to have afternoon tea with a couple of bloggers!
What a great idea for a challenge. It warms the cockles of my heart to see how much you like England Nancy. Have we seen that Floral print pencil skirt before? It’s beautiful.
Author
Thanks Gail! I not only like England, I want to be British! haha. It’s a old skirt that I had to throw away as it was all worn out. I have worn it on the part of the blog that I lost.
How lucky you were to have the weather be kind to you. The UK is a beautiful country with such a varied landscape. We are not long home from our latest Jilly’s Jaunts. Exhausted and in need of another break after so much travelling in the states but had a fabulous time. Love – Jill stylishatsixty.wordpress.com

Fish and chips are definitely the epitome of britishness. I also lo e that so many of your pictures are of places in Kent, my home county, especially Hever which was just up the road from me when I was a kid.

Oh really? That is fantastic! I love Hever castle. We usually spend time in Sussex!
Author
You should! It’s beautiful and full of castles and fantastic nature reserves!
This is a lovely link up idea. I absolutely love that first photograph. It really looks like you’re holding that lighting house. Our lighting houses are different, they’re typically made from stone and they look a lot like regular Mediterranean stone houses, just with a tower. I’d love to visit Britian some day. I’ve been planning it for ages, but something always comes up. Great list of British favs. I studied English so obviously English history and culture is something that interests me. Nothing wrong with enjoying a bit of fish& chips. I hope you’ll enjoy your next visit to Britain.
Author
Thank you very much! I will. Hope that you can visit this beautiful country soon too!
It was fun seeing all of the places you have traveled to, Nancy! It’s funny how I didn’t even think of foods, tea or places to visit in the UK with this theme! I didn’t think of clothing brands either, ha! My mind went straight to books and Princess Diana! You did a great job!
Author
But that is what is so nice about a collaboration with other women! We all have different views on things! Thanks Debbie!
Looks like you had a great time the UK traveling to some of your favourite places. I also love fish and chips. Thanks for sharing some nice spots!

I always have a great time in the UK! Thanks Jacqui!
I have only been to the UK once, in 2010 (oh, and I went to Scotland in 1996), and hope I’ll be back again at some point, now that I know so many UK bloggers! However, it’s so far, being on the west coast of Canada!
Author
Yeah, that is quit a trip! Wouldn”t it be great to have a meetup with international bloggers!
I second an international bloggers meet-up! Anyway, I’m loving your round-up of your UK outfits as well as the places you’ve visited, which make me long to go back! Your first photo, of you holding Beachy Head’s lighthouse made me smile! xxx
Author
Great place to visit right? We will be in the UK in week 21! Just for a couple of days, but that’s enough!
This looks so much fun! Love your photos dear.
