	on January 28, 2011 LaurenBlair 128 said: The website calls it "watermelon" I think pairing the shoe with the right outfit you could wear it as a red or a pink. I love her Alexa Chung's style, everytime I find a picture of her I'm like - awesome, I want that!
	on January 28, 2011 cathy3087 98 said: My favourite are those Mulberry oxford too. Is it pink or red? I'm currently trying to think how I can replicate Alexa Chung's outfit - I think I already have all the parts in my closet, need to check..
