Fashion and Interiors: Rich Red

November 10, 2011
There are few colors that can indicate as many feelings as the color red.  Drama, passion, anger, and romance are all rolled into this one color.I’ve amped up the red factor in my closet with a few choice items (mostly skirts), but also recently bought my first red, red lipstick (Chanel Rouge Coco Gabrielle).  I’m kinda excited, kinda scared to depart from my normal rosy warm color for this bold one.  It’s all about the unexpected pop of color for me which is why I’m also excited to some day decorate a room with a few great, red statement pieces (love, love the couches below!)  Use as little or as much red as you want (ensuing drama at your own risk!)

    Red has been my fave for a long time. I especially have lots of red tones in my home.

  • Girlie Blogger November 10, 2011 at 07:29

    Totally. Red is such an awesome, sexy color. It’s also very intimidating.

    Red is rich, sensuous, warm and sexy. I’ve always been a red lipstick type of girl;-)

    Beautiful! Love the red blazer

  • Kim November 10, 2011 at 14:52

    Red is my favorite color – if I ever have a house with my own home office, I will paint it red and have vintage maps and globes everywhere – it’s also my favorite color to wear. That Michael Kors dress is gorgeous, and the price is right!

  • Fashion Tales.... November 10, 2011 at 15:14

    Love the inspiration. It’s great to be bold sometimes. I’ve learnt to appreciate a good rouge! 🙂

  • Heather November 10, 2011 at 15:38

    I love reds and was just thinking this week that I need to add more of them to my wardrobe. Thanks for the inspiration!

  • Krysten @ Why Girls Are Weird November 10, 2011 at 15:39

  • Molly November 10, 2011 at 16:09

    XOXO.

    I tend to have a hard time wearing red because my cheeks have way too much red in them as is, but I love wearing it on my bottom half! That way I don’t feel like I’m totally missing out 🙂

    Gorgeous! I love that photo with the red an purple contrast. Those colors are so royal and perfect for one another!

  • Jessi Haish November 10, 2011 at 17:44

    red just screams power!

  • amy b.s. November 10, 2011 at 17:47

    i love how red can make such a big statement.

  • abeautifullife.ca November 10, 2011 at 18:07

    it’s so funny how I’ve started to slowly start liking red again this past year after YEARS of not wearing it at all. I think a dramatic red lip stick looks so good on anyone – it’s very polished.

    Not sure i would go for a red interior but it’s sure high impact.

  • Johanna November 10, 2011 at 18:32

    I am finally confident sporting red lips. So fun!

  • SassyUptownChic November 10, 2011 at 19:56

    Red is an awesome color! I love it in all the way’s you’ve shown. Hope you like your lipstick. 😀

    red is definitely a signature color for me…

  • MizzJ November 10, 2011 at 23:49

    Ooo you’ll have to show us the new red lipstick! Fewer colors are more sexy or powerful as red. Every woman needs some red in her life!

  • Karina November 11, 2011 at 01:58

    Red is beautiful isn’t it? It’s my favorite color yet I really don’t wear it very often! But I love it!!! 🙂

    I love all of the pictures! Especially the wall one! I would give anything to color my walls red! I will definitely think about it when we move to a bigger apartment, soon I hope 🙂

    You are your sweet with your sweet comments! Thank you 🙂
