#WIN a Rather Handy Barbour Picnic Rug! #BarbourPicnicRug
Wednesday 1 July 2015
Barbour is so hot right now! You've probably noticed their latest spring summer 2015 collection popping up on several top fashion blogs over the past month. The brand is usually associated with the famous quilted Barbour jacket but there is SO much more them than that.
They've just introduced a limited edition Barbour picnic blanket, or 'picnic rug' as they're so affectionately calling it. The thing is, it's not just any picnic blanket, it's an epic, multi-purpose, must-have summer item! I've been sent one to feature and oh my gosh, it's even better in person.
So picture this, you're heading out for a romantic summer picnic when it starts raining... You're both jacketless because it was boiling when you left the house! Well fear not, because this beautiful rather handy picnic rug is waxed on one side and converts into a hooded poncho - perfect for the unpredictable British weather! It can also be used as a standard blanket (with a pillow), a dog towel and the handy bag it comes in doubles as a wine cooler for storing your Prosecco in.
This picnic rug is ideal for the festival season, sadly mine arrived a few hours after I left for Glastonbury but I'll be taking it out for a picnic soon! You can see how it can be re-worked by watching this hella short (but pretty darn hilarious) video here:
So how can you get your paws on one? Sadly it's not for sale as it's so limited (*SIGH*), only 250 have been made BUT Barbour are giving away 66 (globally) over social media! Waaah. Entering couldn't be more simple. Click through to the video to read the full details in the description but in a nutshell, you just need to share how you're going to make the most of the summer using the hashtag #BarbourPicnicRug - Via Facebook, Twitter or Instagram! Be quick though as entries close on Saturday 5th July.
Will you be entering? Let me know if you do and also let me know if you'd be interested in seeing me style this beaut! T - Melting in the heat!
I saw the campaign on twitter and as I am the No. 1 Barbour fan I was thinking how much I wanted it. So fingers crossed I win and have romantic picnics by the beach from now and on :) xx

It was only recently that I realised barbour did products other than coats! This blanket has their style all over it though and looks great :) xx
