On its own, with just a pair of heels, this dress is quite simply beautiful. The boat-neck neck line, sleek lines and intensity of the shades of red mixed with gold and olive tones in the tweed fabric are stunning and work together to create a key item for your Autmun/Winter '09 wardrobe.

It's just perfect for social events and combined with the matching Carrie jacket it is a smart and sassy two-piece that will take you from the boardroom to cocktails. For a more casual look with extra vibrancy, add on a purple cashmere scarf and belt.
