Raspberry Red

The other day I received a divine gift from one of the lovely people I work with. It was an English wool, raspberry red coat. Apparently it had been bought by her sister in England who doesn't wear it here. It really is the most thoughtful thing, fits me perfectly and given that on a practical aside I catch public transport in Melbourne- mornings can be. Also have an obsession with overcoats. Seriously I have so many there was no way i could justify another purchase, even a lovely cheap one from a market, so this was an amazing gift.

I had decided recently that this winter i would love to brighten up my black and grey with splashes of color and that idea has narrowed down to red. ( for those who care, apparently charcoal grey is the new black for winter...seriously) I have a gorgeous red pashmina that a wonderful friend bought me back from India that I've been wearing, and the weather in Melbourne has just turned last week to the perfectly crisp mornings that i adore. Autumn is defiantly my favorite season. I have also decided that i really do need a pair of red boots, what a gorgeous way to brighten up a grey day. So I went searching online and found these......


Doc Martins so they'll last for years, perfect color and just sooooo beautiful!


So I think soon I'll be all set for those crisp perfect autumn mornings..............
