Red Roses For a Blue Lady

Sometimes fashion has us feeling so conflicted. How much is too much red? Generally, it’s best to take our color cues from nature. This means using our favorite power color in meaningful doses. Then we see a smashing head-to-toe take on “painting the town” and we’re ready to throw caution to the wind! Take a look and see how heavy-handed you can get with the holiday hue.

Bonjour, Red

Stripes aren’t the only way we’re down with rocking French girl cool.  The best and easiest way to add a splash of red is with unexpected accessories.  Did you take a look at our article on straw bags for Spring? This is how you update the look for winter.  Go to KrissyKatVINTAGE for the bombest Red Wicker Box Purse on the planet.   First come, first serve, so who’s gonna’ get it?  Joyeux noël chérie !

Bam! Pow!

Take a look at our fashion inspiration for June and wear your slip on the outside.  A sheer red skirt is the party dress of the season!  Embellish your accessories with pops of color and watch heads turn right and left.  Free People’s Stud Muffin Sunnies are exactly what we’re thinking.  Also, the Alexis Janine Sheer Gown is vavoom gorgeous!  If you’re looking for a Christmas party TKO. The perfect outfit for anyone who has been doing spin class religiously.

Ice Queens Wear Red, Too

For the, ah, more mature set – stick to what you know.   Stay classy with red trousers and dress them up or down as the occasion permits.  The Diane von Furstenberg High-Waisted Skinny Pant is pretttty much perfect.  Did you catch our favorite boot styles from Spring?  They are just now picking up steam, so get on board while they’re hot!  The best choices to pair with those flaming hot pants are white boots and a kitten heel.  Mew.

Red + Pink

In New York, black has been setting the street style stage for brighter colors to shine.  The hottest color combo we are seeing is the red/pink dynamic duo.  Too many people are trying to stand out for the paparazzi these days.  Got to pay the cost to be tha’ boss.  Dying for a fanny pack in the proper color?  Check out this Opening Ceremony Legacy Fanny Pack.  Perfect for street gals on the go!

Romance, Olé!

As always, our favorite passion hue is best done head-to-toe as a dress.  Red dresses in lace or with crochet eyelet details are dearest to our hearts.  Cuba has been the vacation destination of choice these days. Think  of Spanish lovers and Spanish roses for inspiration!  We love this Vintage Button Through TiMo dress because the embroidery is so pretty!  Little details in all the right places.

Comment Dites-Vous..

The only thing better than a sick graphic tee is a charming French-inspired sweater.  Pick your phrase of choice and dare to be bashful in a red knit.  We fell in love with lettering last month and it looks good in any language!  How much do you love this Vicky Crew Have a Nice Day sweater?  The cashmere/wool blend and boyfriend fit makes it a total keeper.  We especially love this in coy, school girl style.

Panoply With Purpose

Trying to make an impact?  Or more interested in an understated gesture?  The amount of red you choose to wear determines the level of attention you are willing to receive.  Make sure to highlight your finest features whatever you decide!
