Crocs Unisex-Adult Bistro Batali Sandal - £35-40, Amazon
Regular readers know of my love affair with orange – it’s the colour we’ve used on the walls and for some of the appliances in our kitchen.
These orange Crocs, the Bistro Mario Batali Edition, were specially made for “kitchen aficionados” apparently. So, they’re the perfect match for when I’m in the mood for whipping up a little soufflé or something!
We’ve got a brand new kitchen now that the post-flood building work is finally finished. Our current kettle now looks very out of place. It was used for three months in what was effectively a building site – it’s completely plaster and paint splattered! We plan on treating ourselves to one of these orange kettles – one that will suit the orange Dualit we got from Selfridges. We’re veering towards the Kenwood kMix on the top right!
Jack Spade rope dog lead in orange, $48.00
We’ve just been trying to work out exactly how old Fudge is. We got him as a rescue dog from the Weimaraner Society in November 2006 when he was already 11 months old. That means he’ll be 7 come Christmastime!
He’s had the same old lead since we got him – it still does the job, but this snazzy orange number would be just the thing for a smart Weimaraner-round-town!
AG Stevie Cords, Orange: Anthropologie – £39.95 down from £128.00
Regular readers will know of my enduring attraction to all things tangerine. I have never seen bright orange cords – I guess they could be difficult to pull of sartorially – but I LOVE them!
Lexington Original towels | Habitat Egyptian towels | Ralph Lauren Player towels
Many, many years ago in the London sales, we bought an Yves St Laurent orange bath towel set from Selfridges. They were beautiful, soft & fluffy when we got them; but now, with constant use and laundering, they’ve become a bit faded, thin & threadbare.
We’ve been looking for replacements for a while now – but the ones we’ve been seeing in the shops have all been the wrong shade of orange. You know the hue – a bit salmon or terracotta – not that knockout tangerine that we love.
Now, just like the proverbial buses, we’ve found three shops that have examples that are just right!
