Fashion and Interiors: Rich Red

November 10, 2011
There are few colors that can indicate as many feelings as the color red. Ā 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). Ā I’m kinda excited, kinda scared to depart from my normal rosy warm color for this bold one. Ā 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!) Ā 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! šŸ™‚

  • 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!

  • 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 šŸ™‚

    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. šŸ˜€

  • 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!!! šŸ™‚

    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 šŸ™‚
