Lace and denim go together like Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire dont you think? This weekend we popped down to the coast for lunch at a gorgeous hotel right on the beach front. I wore my new Baukjen boyfriend jeans and and an old lace blouse for the occasion…

A perfect Sunday
The weather was kind to us, as we neared the coast the warmer and brighter it became. On our arrival the sun shone warmly and we even decided to discard our jackets. The breeze was slightly chilly by the water’s edge, so we headed for the sand dunes, to take some snaps of my new Baukjen jeans and belt before lunch.
Baukjen & why I am happy to collaborate with them.
Baukjen are an environmentally and ethically conscious brand. They do not promote fast fashion nor do they ‘over produce’ their garments, they prefer to make small quantities and re-order anything that sells out. They reduce their carbon footprint by having 90% of their collection produced in Europe. Therefore, I am more than happy to collaborate with this wonderfully ethical brand!
This is what Baukjen state on their site about their fabrics…
“… Our imprint on the world matters. We are always aiming to increase our offer of eco-friendly fabrics. Most of the fabrics we use are derived from natural fibres that biodegrade much faster without releasing harmful chemicals into the environment…”
Read more here about Baukjen’s commitment to be environmentally friendly. They also support and donate to many, many charities. Sounds like a brand to get behind and celebrate, I only wish there were more in the world like them!
* New Baukjen Boyfriend Jeans:
I love a relaxed jean, I consider them to be far more flattering than anything tight and fitted, a relaxed jean can actually make you look slimmer. As an added bonus ‘boyfriend’ style jeans are also very comfy. I can definitely vouch for that, this pair did not disappoint, no wonder they are a best seller for Baukjen.
Boyfriend Jeans The Details:
- Easy fit around the hip and thigh
- Slightly tapered leg
- Premium denim that holds its shape
- Added stretch for comfort
My Verdict:
- True to size, I am wearing a 12, and I am 5 ft 6″
- They sit ‘mid rise’ ie. above my hip and below my waist.
- Incredibly soft, comfy and wearable denim.
- Superb quality and finish.
* New Baukjen Leather reversible belt.
Talk about ‘useful and beautiful’ to almost quote William Morris! Very sensible too, we all need a camel and black belt in our wardrobes and this reversible one one takes up less space! Lots more wonderful quality belts to be seen on the Baukjen site here.
Baukjen Boyfriend Jeans and leather reversible belt.
Vintage basket:
From my vast collection, mostly picked up from early morning summer boot fairs or charity shops.
*Old Long Sleeved Lace Blouse:
This blouse is from February 2017 ( take a look at how I wore it back then?) and I’m still wearing and re-wearing it! This blouse has worked hard for me over the last two years and has become one of my wardrobe staples. it was from JD Williams I have found a very pretty one here for you, that I would also wear in the same way.
*’Slipper’ Style Mules,
Mules again, weather depending it going to be ‘slipper’ mules for me to wear with most things this year. Did you see my recent post? I am wearing the VanDal Mules with a slight heel?
This pair are from Vionic they are called Adeline and are still available to buy this year. The tan colour has turned out to be a wardrobe neutral and I have worn them with almost everything!
