Deep shades of autumn

It’s that kind of day when a mood of change is floating in the air, when we finally start to give in to autumn, to its sumptuous colours like plum and burgundy, which can paint so beautifully a fall fête. An enchanting time of year these late September days, not long until we feel the crispness of fall all day long, today as well, not only in the mornings and evenings. I’m already looking forward to hot coffee, baked pumpkin, mulled wine, roasted chestnuts, dressing up the home, reading and reading some more and yes, slipping into knitwear and long-sleeved dresses (what about of a hat speaking of changes?), and maybe I’ll even add ruby, garnet, bordeaux and violet to choose from.  A discreet luxury so easily attainable.

    Can’t express how much I always enjoy these finest moments of Fall. Gorgeous colors you used here, especially the ruby. I’d really like to have a similar hat <3
    Hope you are well Ada, I know it has been a while, but I'm happy to see your beautiful posts!

    Such a gorgeous post, Ada. Sounds like you are ready for Autumn. 🙂 I’m loving wine colours, too. It’s almost like a craving. I’m constantly looking for my “berry love” item, but haven’t seen THE ONE yet.
    Wishing you a wonderful day!

    P.S. Sorry I’m a bit delayed with the parcel and commenting these days – I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather. Our boiler broke down last Friday leaving us without heating (which is bearable) and hot water (total nightmare, especially when one has to wash a very muddy cocker spaniel), so on top of this “delightful” experience I had a bit of a cold, too. But don’t worry, all better now, boiler’s fixed and I’ll sort out your gift by the end of this week 100%.

      @LittleRus
      Unexpected things happen all the time, so I perfectly understand, LittleRus. I’m looking forward to my gift though. 😉

    PS. Just sent you an email and got a delivery failure notification! Do you have another email address I can use? You really want to read that email, believe me 😉

    Ada, you picked such a beautiful palette of shades. In the last two years I’ve been wearing a lot of purple, a chic colour that I definetely recommend! I love this time of the year as well and while I’ve been reluctant to talk about my FW wish list until the summer was over, now I cannot wait to share the clothes I saw during my window shopping tours…

    Hello Ada,
    I must say, this is such gorgeous image inspiration. The leaves, the hat, the velvet, the journals—all so beautiful… now I would like pumpkin pie 🙂
