Velvet olives

I live in an area of Spain which is considered the prime olive oil producer in the world. This time of  the year, the olives turn from green to purple; ready to be picked and transformed into liquid gold.


This velvet  jacket,  bought on Ebay a few days ago,  reminded me of the  ripe olives .
I am wearing it with a  customised Primark skirt, vintage  black jumper,  and belt.
 These earrings were a present from my sister.

Enjoy your weekend.

¿Te puedes creer que no tenía ni idea de que las olivas se ponían de color morado? Jo, qué inculta me siento ahora... en mi defensa diré que soy del norte y aquí no tenemos olivos jaja

Me encanta tu chaqueta de terciopelo, es maravillosa! Y te queda genial con esa falda tan colorida, ibas guapa-guapa!!

Gorgeous Outfit!
The color of purple is a real autumn color and is my favorite color almost, after red of course :) This purple remainds me of the purple Lanvin uses in the creations.
I can just say LOVELY!

new reader, happy to have found you.
I am so very jealous of you for living near olive trees. I find them to be physically and spiritually beautiful trees to be around, they make me feel that nature is generous and of good times with friends and family. I live in the pacific northwest, no olive trees here (but good nature anyways).
I like how you have a slightly victorian sensibility to your clothes, like the jacket and earrings. melina bee

meant to say REMEMBER good times...

Laura Tenshi dijo...

I love the color of your velvet jacket but what I really love from your outfit are the boots. I've been meaning to buy some leather boots like yours from some time now.
