Cotswold Style Magazine

No doubt many of you like me have been glued to two weeks of brilliant Great Britain triumph in Rio at the Olympics. We are extremely proud of all our Olympians but none more so than our local athletes, all of who raised the bar with further medals. As well as the Cotswold rowers our Hartpury based Dressage squad led by Carl Hester won a team silver to add to their gold from London and the heroic Charlotte Dujardin gloriously triumphed with her second individual gold. Congratulations to you all! This September is the like the beginning of a New Year to many including myself. Children start a new school or class, many peoples offspring will be heading to university and for those who are back to work and the daily grind, it can bring a mixed feeling of emotions, including in some cases relief to get our lives back to normality! Our Food Writer Rachel Cappuccini has put together some simple but healthy and tasty recipes, which can be created in minutes to feed the family quickly. September is an ideal time to take a holiday in the last of the summer sun. This month Mrs & Mr Jones showcase the fabulous delights to see in Prague while Lucy Garbutt recommends visiting paradise on some beach islands in Indonesia. There will have been many marriage proposals made over the summer and in this edition of Cotswold Style, we are featuring ideas for the perfect wedding. From hair to beauty and venues you will find an array of inspiration to make your big day extra special. Guy Shone’s Explain The Market column will also give you the jaw dropping details of how much money people are spending on weddings in Britain. Our talented Fashion Editor and Photographer have created another beautiful shoot this month using the lovely Mollie Griffin, winner of the Cotswold Style modelling competition. They show how you can revamp your existing wardrobe with the help of Tracey Sarmis from The LAB.
