Some thing strange has been happening to me recently.. i have become drawn to the colour red.... i have always quite liked it as a colour but over the last few weeks its the only colour i am drawn to.. why? what does it say about me at the moment... red the colour of love if there is one, the colour of danger, anger, of warning,of life's blood... in your face vibrant happy warm red...
When i was in Harrogate last week ( on another weeks holiday from work , had to fit loads left in before April ) and went in To the wonderful clothes shop toast.... and saw these shoes, love at first sight.. heart skipped.. purse opened on its own... had to have them.. even though i don't normally do heels .. my kind son said i walk like a transvestite with bunions in heels!!!
but they didn't have any in my size.... good job I thought because even in sale were rather eye watering expensive.. but couldn't forget them and eventually tracked down pair in Cheltenham branch of Toast.. so these beauty,s are mine now, going to wear them to my husbands birthday dinner at the end of this month .. keep tripping round house in them .. Lily Savage like.....
this is a picture of me .. yes don't be scared.. in my bargain scarlet new coat taken on Sat in the lovely town Of Knaresborough , was taken to a lovely boat house on the river for lunch, the son shone and had a lovely time, and glad to report since my last post have lost 10 lbs... and still trying to loose a bit more ,so hard though...love FOOD
the story behind this scarlet coat is while in m&s last week while in Newcastle on a shoppo trip with girlfriend ,I spotted this coat.. ow er instant attraction.. but as i just had bought THOSE shoes was trying to be on best non spending behaviour , £89.00 with a black scarf as a set ..walking away from the coat an assistant( a very nice assistant) came up to me and said do you like the coat and what size are you..? 12 i said, she vanished and came back with the coat.... a returned try ed on coat... reduced......... to .....£12.00......fate, we were meant to be together... my friend said ,stop jumping up and down your embarrassing me again!!!
so this lovely cord coat which i know i will were lots is very happy with me.. love the collar and buttons...ermmm errr on same trip I bought this scarlet knitted top also from marks .. loved the hem and well ..ho what is a girl to do... seduced again.. but in my defence in the sale again...
fell for this little felt brooch as well i a lovely hand made shop..... spring cheeriness to put on my coat...
Cath kidston ... bag i got for Christmas .. it goes with every thing.. and holds my empty purse!!!
and lastly a vintage style rose heart... what colour are you mysteriously drawn to and why do you think. you are..? i am a scarlet women .. back soon.. enjoy your week! xxxx .
