Orange

Like my brother (Benaiah Matheson) I have always been a big fan of orange clothing, so I am so pleased at all the orange on offer this season. Here are a few of the pieces that will hopefully be winging their way into my wardrobe over the next few months, yes I will be rocking some orange this winter!

ORANGE

An orange moment courtesy of Cos.

Cos again- Firstly sorry for the very dodgy picture, I couldn't find an image of the dress online and when I went to buy it they didn't have my size therefore all I have is this snap of me in the changing room... I'll either wear this with a grey cashmere jumper over the top or with a long sleeve stripy tshirts. Black ankle boots and socks. 

Jumper... Cos.

Debenhams?- Shocking I know but this dress by Roksanda Ilincic is AMAZING! Again i'd dress it down with a tshirt underneath.

I'll probably leave the hat at home next time but I love to wear this dress by NW3 with stripy t-shirts or grey sweaters underneath.

My all time favorite orange moment- Vintage Lanvin.

White Converse

Sometimes I find myself on a quest. Weather it's for the perfect black skirt (bought from Cos a couple of months ago) or a white t-shirt that I can wear with everything (Hanes beefy ts), occasionally the space in my wardrobe is apparent and i'll shop specifically to fill it.
One of these spaces has been clear to me for a really long time, years even. Many moons ago when I worked in Office, Converse came out with an all white high top, even the eyelets were white! Being young and stupid I dithered around and when the time to buy came, they were gone. Subsequently I bought a pair of ecru high tops with cartoons all over them, which have faired me well over the years but have never taken the place of a simple pair of 'blanc en blanc's'.
I've searched high and low for them and finally they have come out again (happy days) and proved why they have been the missing link in my wardrobe for so long.

See...

The shoes- No longer with white eyelets but they still fill the gap.

They don't stay white for long... I like to wear them with ankle socks by Falke in navy, beige or cream.

Bull Fighting

Hate the sport, love the fashion.

Love the tassels and embellished lapels on this statues jacket. He lifts his hat to Dr Alexander Fleming, thanking him for inventing penicillin. 

When I think of bull fighting I am always reminded of Pepito, 'The Bad Hat' from the Madeline stories. He dreamed of growing up to be a bullfighter until Madeline put him straight. Note his cape and pom pom hat... The bad hat.
