ASOS Snood / Todd Lynn for Topshop Cropped Tux / ASOS Oxblood Dress / Topshop Boutique Boots / Falke Socks / Balenciaga City
I’ve been getting steadily obsessed over the last few months with this ‘oxblood’ colour that seems to be everywhere right now. As you can probably guess, I’m not usually one to get all excited over the new ‘it’ colour for the season, but this is different. Even though it’s red, it’s a darker, moodier version. It still feels like a neutral, rather than an actual colour & it fits in with my almost all black wardrobe perfectly.
When I saw this dress on ASOS in the perfect shade, I knew I needed to buy it. It’s perfect for this time of year too, in heavy jersey, with a midi length & long sleeves it’s lovely & warm, the full skirt makes me feel so autumnal swishing around in the breeze too. I’m so glad to be able to get my snoods out again as well, simple layering like this is why I love autumn so much.
I mentioned previously how much I loved my tuxedo from the Todd Lynn for Topshop collaboration, well this is the other tux I managed to buy at the time. Again, it is beautifully constructed in gorgeous wool suiting (just as a good tux should be!) & the perfect structured, boxy shape too. The way it’s cropped right under the bust & the asymmetric faux fur lapels are what really make this jacket for me, it’s quirky, but in an understated, elegant kind of way. It must be one of my most worn jackets, I love throwing it on & feeling instantly sharper, and if it were to ever get ruined I would happily spend three times it’s original selling price for another one on eBay!

I’m obsessed with the ‘oxblood’ color!! Everything I want is in that color. I found the perfect little suede motor jacket in ‘oxblood’ from H&M but of course they didn’t have size *sigh* Anyway I love this whole look. The one thing I love about fall/winter are the chunky scarves.

I love when you spy something like that online and it is just as good in person you look lovely, and in color! X

It feels like every fall some shade of wine/burgundy is touted as the color of the season, in this case Fall 2012 is all about “oxblood.”
I like the idea of a cropped tailor jacket with a scarf! Too bad it’s still too warm here for that kind of thing.

I wore a dress of this color last Saturday (I’ll show the pictures in some days) :D I’m also obsessed with it, it’s perfect for pale people with dark hair, and red highlights green eyes too, so it’s perfect and suits you a lot.
Love the whole outfit <3 Pretty, as always.

This colour suits you so well! It looks like one of these shades – like grey, camel or navy – that can be great neutrals and perfect alternatives to black. Love the mini-jacket: is it such an original piece and it seems to be made for that dress!
