After weeks and weeks of berating the bizarrely warm October weather it seems that Autumn has finally arrived! In about 3 days I’ll probably start bitching about it being too cold (what can I say, I’m a Brit) but for now I’m relishing the opportunity to indulge in cosy fabrics, rich hues and knitted accessories galore. As you may have noticed, I’m head over heels in love with burgundy at the moment. In the past I foolishly dismissed it as a colour reserved solely for coach seats and mulled wine when in fact burgundy is seriously flattering to pasty skin – like mine – and a rather chicer but equally eye-catching alternative to scarlet. I firmly believe that you can never have too much of a good thing (hence my daily itsu Salmon boxes and Pinot Grigio obsession) so I invested in nail polish and an adorable beret to match my beloved burgandy corduroy skirt.
