Preppy Hunters!

I have been eyeing the fuchsia Hunter wellies for over a year now. It really was love at first site. They are the perfect shade of pink, they look darling with Lilly and they are the original Hunter wellie.... so they were made for Hopsy! Sadly, I have NEVER seen them in the US (not in Dallas, MN or NYC) and I had trouble finding a US retailer online too. Well, my waiting paid off because I walked into Harrods on Friday and there they were sitting next to the classic green Hunter wellies the Queen sports. I knew it was meant to be so I scooped them up for a steal of a deal just in the nick of time. There is loads of rain in the forecast for the next four days so these will come in useful both abroad and at home for years to come, hooray! I promise to take a photo in my newest preppy, pink purchase!!

Oh you go for it! Great pink buy! You are right, none to be found in US. I've tried too. Oh, Harrods is unbelieveable. You must go more than once during your stay. I have wonderful memories of my time in London and England. Cheerio!

These are absolutely fabulous! I've been lusting after a pair of Hunters for so long now, I think I'll either go with the original green or navy. Love this pink though!

Katy said...

Oh my goodness!

I didn't know they made pink ones.

My new last name is going to be Hunter once I get married and I was going to have a pair of Hunters on hand just in case it rained for some fun pictures... but now that I know there are pink ones out there I might just have to find them!
