I love the warm rich colours of autumn. The soft yellows, golden russets and vibrant reds. I never seem to be attracted to the colour red in the summer however come autumn when our thoughts turn to keeping warm and making pumpkin soup I love the colour red. It brightens my day and throws a flattering light onto my face.
It is important to choose the most flattering tone of red for your colouring. I like a mid tone and bright. A too dark red is overwhelming for my now grey hair.
Similar black parka at John Lewis // French Connection // Vosgue parka //
My red sweater is by DKNY. Similar at MeandEm. A brand I love. I think theirs is even better than mine as you get two sweaters for the price of one.

The photos were shot by the talented Mr. P in my cousin’s beautiful garden near Newbury and I was joined by their two gorgeous dogs Pepper and Bartie.

You look amazing in red. Few fair women carry it off I think – you’re one of the wonderful exceptions.
Love the pictures for this post…so much fun with your precious pooches! And the scarf is perfect!
You are looking younger and more beautiful than ever. I think that recent make-over gave you some ideas for your daily look. You are an inspiration. And red does look good on you
I love your jacket! I know you gave us similar links (thanks!) but can you tell me who made yours?
Hi Fiona My jacket is my Michael Michael Kors, but I bought it some time ago and when I looked for similar they seemed to have fur collars. I have had another look and have come up with Michael Michael Kors Black Parka or this one at Nordstrom but it seems to be padded.
Yes, you are so right about red for the winter months, and there really is a tone of red that everybody can carry off, its just a case of finding it!
Red is my color, my favorite! You look gorgeous in it!
Love that rich, true red color. Looks great with your hair!
