Over the last few days, the weather has been amazing. The sun has been shining brightly and it has been so hot out there. I can not believe how warm it was at the running club the other night too. It took me hours to cool down afterwards. It just feels like the middle of Summer.
I am not complaining though!! I am loving it.
Just wondering how long it will last for!? Ha!!
It is now time to pack all my Winter jackets away for a few months.
Hopeful until the end of Autumn.
Yeah! (I have been waiting for ages to do this!!).
Today I have teamed up with Millets and The North Face to share what kind of jacket I will be wearing over the next few weeks now the weather has warmed up and also for cooler days when the sun is hiding.
Millets have recently released their Spring/Summer range which includes a great selection of lightweight jackets, fleeces and gilets perfect for the great British weather.
They kindly asked me to pick one one of my favourite items which I would like to be wearing throughout the Summer months.
What I really needed was something to keep me warm when on early morning dog walkies.
Nothing that keeps my arms to restricted for when I am throwing Mollie's frisbee.
Something to keep my door keys safe and mostly keep me body warm when the sun is not out.
Also, something to protect me if the weather changes when I am out walking.
Yes, it chucked it out the other day when I was walking. Me and Mollie were soaking wet when we got home.
I love my The North Face jackets, that I already have and thought how perfect this Gilet would be for a change.
About THE NORTH FACEWomen's Nuptse 2 Gilet:
- This lighter alternative to a jacket is filled with 700 goose down.
- The North Face Nuptse 2 gilet will still keep you warm on chilly autumn walks in the evening.
- To keep your vest useable all year round the double layer taffeta on the shoulders provides an extra abrasion resistance against your backpack.
When the temperature starts to drop sometimes a jacket can be too heavy. The North Face Nuptse Gilet is the perfect transition from Summer to Autumn weather.

I was right, it does make a nice change. I have tried it with denim shorts, jeans, a pencil skirt and also dresses and it looks great with all.
It was so warm yesterday so I thought I would share how I wore it with my maxi dress for nipping out quickly to the shops.
I love the quality and feel to this gilet. The weather is so unpredictable here in the UK and I know this is going to get lots of wear over the next few months!!
Do you like my new gilet?
What would be your got to jacket for Summer?
