I don’t know wine I love you…

…but I do! Excuse the short post, but I’m still settling into my new job and there’s not much time for blogging when I get home from…um, blogging. But I’m absolutely in love with the current trend for rich jewel tones and wanted to share a few of my finds. I remember having a burgundy / wine coloured maxi dress when I was about 10 (I was a fashion-forward if slightly precocious 10 year old!) which obviously began my love affair with the colour. It looks great with blonde hair but is a bit easier to wear than full-on pillarbox red. So far this season I’ve aquired a pair of cropped, Audrey Hepburn-esque slim trousers in the colour, and I’m on the lookout for the perfect blouse to team with them for some serious colour-blocking (teamed with tan accessories). I think this Peacocks one might be a winner…for £16 who can say no?

Eloise frilled prom dress £35 Rise
Sacret bow detail velvet chunky heeled shoes £58 Topshop
Metallic portfolio oversize clutch £20 ASOS
Oversize pussy bow blouse £16 Peacocks
Taped double-breasted dolly coat £69 Dorothy Perkins
Scalloped shorts with tie belt £32 Miss Selfridge

    Oh the wine colour that is ‘in’ at the moment is such a gorgeous colour. I instinctively want to buy anything in that colour, even if I  don’t like the item!

    Amazing write-up! This could aid plenty of people find out more about this particular issue. Are you keen to integrate video clips coupled with these? It would absolutely help out. Your conclusion was spot on and thanks to you; I probably won’t have to describe everything to my pals. I can simply direct them here!
