My mother had a shop in London in the 80’s. It was called Just Gingham and she was so ahead of the times!

Sadly she died over 30 years ago but she has always been my great inspiration, in so many ways.

I love gingham and I’m sure it’s partly because I lived and breathed it back in my youth.

This year it’s a lot about gingham at Bridie & Bert.

Fresh, pretty, quite Doris Day and all that I love and a huge accolade to my mother.

The skirts are smocked at the waist and scalloped at the hem, they can be worn on the waist, on the hips or even as a fun sun dress - Three in One!

Our shorts are adorable and the slouchy trousers are flying out already. Perfect for day and night.

And all 100% cotton

And the accessories! Tote bags, mini bucket bags, zip up wash bags and drawstring laundry bags and smalls/shoe bags. Everything you could need for those Summer get aways.

All in Apple Green and Sea Blue Gingham.

So a big thank you to my wonderful mother Rosemary who would be so chuffed to see so much gorgeous gingham at Bridie & Bert!

Love
Mitty

Here’s a fact for you.

Salcombe seagulls are louder than St Mawes seagulls. Ridiculous I know, but it’s a fact. I’m in Salcombe at the moment and believe me, it’s true.

But now for something so much more exciting…..

Bridie & Bert, Salcombe is re-opening for the season this Saturday and I have such a suprise to share very very soon. It’s exciting, quite novel and I hope hugely successful. All will be revealed in a day or two.

I love my two shops and I love being a shop keeper. The bad days make the good ones so much more appreciated and there are certainly times when I have to confess I feel defeated, exhausted and very sorry for myself which is Pathetic, I know.

But I am never truly defeated and if I should find myself wallowing (which is thankfully rare), I just get a grip and move on.

Last week started so very badly but within 48 hours I turned it round; and it all worked out better than I could have imagined and all was well.

So to all those business owners out there, I wish you a fantastic season ahead full of optimism, lots of laughter, lots of sales and the knowledge that you are not alone and that there are so many of us out here, supporting each other as best we can.

I’ll be back soon!
Love

If you could see me now, you wouldn’t recognise me as the tidy, hair brushed, well dressed person in this picture.

It was only last week, in Devon on a shoot with the talented Emma and .
but it feels like forever ago.

Since then I have started my move from Newbury to St Mawes and whilst it is my absolute dream come true, I can’t remember ever feeling so overwhelmed, disorganised and tired in my life.

I know that soon, all will be well and I can really settle into this wonderful new environment and community. But for now I just thought I’d say hello, It’s been a while!

And here I am in the Mitty jumpsuit! I have to admit, I absolutely love it and intend to wear it a lot in the next few months. Also available in Chocolate brown.

I’ll be back again soon.
Love
Mitty

A mildly controversial message.

As you might know, I am now settled in St Mawes.

The weather has been kinder than could have ever been anticipated and in my opinion, when the south West is basking in what can only be described as perfect English sunshine, there is no where and I mean nowhere, I’d rather be.

And I know I am not alone.

But this comes with a big BUT.

All these hidden Cornish and Devonshire gems need to survive. The communities who live in these places and the small businesses that need to survive in these places all need your support.

I’ve been doing a bit of research and Summer bookings are down again (yes again!), in some parts.

And I know why.

It’s obvious.

Rental costs from small cottages upwards went through the roof during lockdown.

And they haven’t come down since!

Why ever not??

Surely it’s so much better to have bookings, to enable families to have their idyllic English holiday by the sea than to have properties sitting empty.

Crazy prices are sending these lovely families abroad for a less expensive break.

So many children may grow up never having experienced the wonders of such simple pleasures, in such beautiful unspoilt places up and down the country.

So if you have a holiday cottage or indeed you run a holiday rental company for this neck of the woods, please give this serious consideration.

Lower rentals = more bookings = happy holidays = supporting the UK communities and businesses and most of all = Simple Pleasures and Good Old Fashioned Fun.

Win, win I say!

You may well not agree with me and I’m sure there are a million reasons why, but please give it some thought.

And if you haven’t yet booked a Spring/Summer break, please consider the UK.

And now I will step off my soap box.

Love
Mitty

Introducing the Honor jumpsuit!

It’s been a long time coming and I am beyond excited to be launching my first full length jumpsuit.

Made of the softest velvety towelling, I have given it the curviest waist, lovely wide legs and a 70’s style zip that can be worn up to the neck or lower to reveal as much or as little cleavage as you choose!

A genuinely versatile garment that of course would make a perfect holiday outfit but dressed up a bit, it could easily be worn to work too!

I will be wearing mine in Cornwall and London!

From the beach, to the office and beyond!

Knowing what length to make the leg is always tricky and as I haven’t been blessed myself with the longer variety, I am more than aware how frustrating it can be to have to get everything shortened! So I am offering two lengths, 31” and 33” which I hope helps.

As we have already had so
much interest from so many of you lovely Bridie & Bert customers, the Honor jumpsuit is now available to PRE ORDER so if you want to see how really perfect this item is, please head over to our website and secure yours now.

In my humble opinion, the Honor jumpsuit suits most ages and sizes and I can almost guarantee that this will become the most flattering and comfortable item in your wardrobe and can be worn year round.

Someone said it was almost like they weren’t wearing anything despite how soft and comfortable it felt.

I can’t recommend it more highly!

I love mine. Not only is it so incredibly comfortable but I feel good in it; it accentuates my waist and elongates my legs!

Please DM me if you’d like more information!

Love
Mitty
