I am a woman obsessed, and I blame those damn Louboutin Rolandos for starting this. It may be the Taurus in me (you know once we see it, it's hard to turn us elsewhere) -but I'm ♥ totally in love with the color red for fall ♥ and since Fall cannot start fast enough for me ("I'm me-el-lt-ing"), let's have it now - RED!
First off - I found this lil fabu bag at a cart in Perimeter mall:
It may just be my infatuation - but I'm a fiend for a nice red bag (click pic to enlarge). From those vegan Stella McCartney's from '07 - to a nice oversize envelope clutch in a beautiful shade of cherry - I love a red bag. And this bag was perfectly priced (can't disclose - I gotta a good deal). This will look perfect with a black & white tweed sheath, or those Louboutins...
Then add the perfect shade of red lipstick:
I'm a lil anal about my neutrality - a M.A.C. fanatic, I've got more nudes than Rembrandt - but for fall, I love strong colors. Like my Black Opal lipstick in "Be Currant". (click pic to enlarge). Ok, so it's not M.A.C. - I love makeup - and am not a brand/label whore - I like what works for me despite pricepoint and advertising.
So, Be Currant is a nice shade of cherry with good coverage. Applied heavily - and it resembles a deep, dark cherry (True Blood, anyone?) Applied lightly - it leans toward a nice bing - and it stains your lips - so that it wears well, i.e. if you eat, it stays. (And be careful kissing - it stains Him too....lol).
...and a nice pair of comfy red flats:
So, these are not the reverred Louboutins. But these cute Knots from N.Y.L.A (click pic to enlarge). are a pretty shade of red, with kitten heels to avoid looking super casual. a that knot detail is a nice touch.
So, what to wear with all this red? Why - anything. White and black (obviously) - but I'd love to see these pulled off with a nice violet, or a deep blue.
And are you wondering how to wear red liptsick? Try a neutral face - not the pale vampirish look that a lot of folks are unsuccessfully trying - but say a nice bronze or cocoa eye, lots & lots of lashes, and no blush - Yum! Make sure your foundation is flawless - no blemishes to distract from your lips.
My neutral game is crazy - check out my makeup bag (below - click pic to enlarge).
