Revelling in Red

Good morning, lovelies! Hope you're having a fabulous week so far.

Lately I've had a major obsession with all things red. I didn't realize it until yesterday when I made yet another red purchase with my Chanel Dragon painted fingers while wearing a recently purchased red Love Quotes scarf . Can you say addicted much?

My latest purchase was an Urban Expressions Chelsea Clutch in red from Open Sky. A friend of mine had purchased the clutch in another color earlier in the day and when I saw the look of the clutch, the price...only $30!!!, and the color red, I was instantly sold. I'm new to Open Sky but I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. Here's an invite if you're interested :)

Enjoy the day, sweets!

Red, Red Wine

This has got to be one of my all time favorite color combinations. Burgundy & red. So bold, so delicious and just so pretty.

I fell in love with this combo many many, years ago on a trip to Milan. I walked into a Prada store and there it was, hitting me smack dab in the face. I was smitten at first sight. I purchased a pair of red & burgundy kitten heel slingbacks that day about 10 years ago and I still wear them to this day.

I recreate this combo all the time in all different ways. My nails...I'll wear both colors at the same time. Apparel...burgundy skirt, red shirt. Wine clutch, red pumps. I've done it all. Especially this time of year. There's something about fall that makes me want to mix these bold, lush colors together.

Think I know what I'll be wearing today :) How bout you all? Are you loving this combo as much as I am?

Enjoy the day, lovelies!

xoxo
