In Istanbul I couldn't help notice how the girls were dressing there and the best place to people watch was sitting in Cafe Sous overlooking the entrance to Istanbul University and the Grand Bazaar (where I got my ceramic bunny who liked my tribute to his homeland so much he came out to vogue for the camera). What stood out most to me was how many stylish people were wearing red and olive green. It was everywhere, and all the women pulled it off without looking like a Christmas cookie exploded all over them. Since it was snowing today I rewound my wardrobe back to the chilly rain of Turkey in February and took a chance on green and red. I'm impressed with myself that I survived the day in these shoes including battling through Times Square to go to a conference uptown before work. My shoes were less impressed with the snow and salt though, I hope those marks come off.

This is so very lovely! I adore the tapestry purse. I am always frightened of wearing red and green together but your outfit is perfection. You have inspired me to try it out. xoxo
Oh gosh... I have NO words to tell you how much I love the entire outfit! GREAT colors, great textures, great shoes..oh, and the bag..so jealous ^^ Perfection*
You look great in this outfit... those are some of my favourite colours to put together, and I love the bag and shoes. I was super disappointed to read about the weather this morning though, I wasn't even planning to bring a coat. Yikes.
I saw that you commented on one of the blogs I follow (Bow Ties are Cool) and I decided to check yours out and love it you are so pretty and I LOVE your style! I’ve been reading past posts and looking at your pictures! You are too cute to be true! I just started following today! I'm a new blogger and need all the support to get some new followers! If you could follow back that would be cooler than wooden platforms!

What a lovely outfit! That vintage bag is particularly catching. Well done with those shoes, I would've been out of them in a snap.

I really love this outfit, both shades are muted so it doesn't look too festive and the military style sweater contrasts well with the feminine dress.
