Autumnal Orange


So I told you that I was going to try and buy more practical items ready for winter, well behold practical boots and a cotton dress! That's good right? Both via eBay. The dress is a very vibrant orange which isn't normally a colour I would choose, but I loved the brocade detail. The boots are so comfy they make me feel spectacularly witchy, have any of you been watching American Horror Story? I am so excited about the coven series, I have only seen the first series!

 Today has been so blustery in our parts of the woods, so we are having a day of floor sanding and Halloween decorating. It seems that it was in vogue back in the day to have a large piece of carpet and varnish the edge of the floor, so the middle of our floor looks great in the front room, but the edges not so much as the varnish is like treacle, akin to treacle it is impossible to remove although I have not licked the floor to see if it tastes like it, yet. So eager to get the house back together so much to do so little time.



Trying to look seductive amongst the flowers ahh yeah.

  1. How deeply, wonderfully pretty. I adore this warm, beautiful shade of orange on you - as well as that you're a fellow fan of sporting the palette of the season (I've been doing that lately like it's going out of style!). Excellent addition to your wardrobe - one can never veer wrong with classic cotton frocks.

  2. Behold indeed!
    I adore your new frock, it has the most gorgeous detailing, and I love orange! It's perfect for the season!!
    The boots are adorable, too, and just right for kicking ones way through the Autumnal leaves!
    I have not seen that TV show, I never seem to be able to commit to a series, and eventually I get them out on DVD. I ahae heard that it's a pretty awesome show, though!
    O, and I'm seduced, so it's clearly working...! XXX

  3. What a lovely combination, very apt for the upcoming Halloween!

    Love American Horror Story, though the second series wasn't my favourite. I am really looking forward to this years though. Have you seen the trailers for it yet?

  4. I find American Horror story far too scary for my sensibilities. I am a wuss when it comes to scary tv shows or movies. Love your autumnal dress, and the embroidered details.
