Red. It represents passion, fire and courage. It's bold, daring and sexy! After looking at a few spreads devoted to red accessories in Elle Canada, I started thinking: Red is the ultimate power colour! I don't know about you but I can't help but feel like I rule the world when I'm rocking red! When I'm primping for a girls night out I love to go for a bold red lip (paired with a neutral eye of course!). It's bold, classic, sophisticated AND fun! A red handbag makes for an excellent pop of colour as does red jewelery. A pop of red electrifies any outfit. Need a mid-winter pick me up? Try a red scarf! This past winter the Olympics were held in Vancouver, British Columbia (Go Canada!). The red Olympic mitten craze began. I'll admit; i bought a pair and I absolutely love them! My ULTIMATE red fashion choice? Two words:


Red. Stiletto. 


The red stiletto is, in my humble opinion, the sexiest shoe known to man! Rocking a pair of red stilettos pretty much screams "I'm here, biznatch!" It is, in my mind, a necessity for any fabulous diva!


I will definitely be incorporating red into my fall/winter wardrobe. What's life without a little pizazz?


Red is sexy, glamorous, classic and fierce!


How will you rock your red?  

Fall Trend Report: Colour

CREAM,BEIGE,BROWN,GREY,BLACK- These fall staples have returned once again! Since they are neutral, pairing them with pops of other fall colours will build your fall wardrobe! 


SILVER,GOLD- Hints of metallics will spice up any wardrobe! 


PURPLE- Dynamic purples and plums are a great fall colour choice! They are sophisticated, fun, rich and vibrant! Purple is a recurring fall favourite! 


BURGUNDY, WINE, RED- Burgundy and wine are awesome fall colours that are creeping into more and more stores every day. Pops of these colours are great additions to any fall wardrobe. While browsing through Aritzia, something caught my eye...RED! Some designers had used red accents in their fall lines. It seems so many people rely on neutrals to get them through fall and winter, surviving...no....enduring the colder seasons and waiting until they can wear colour in the spring. It doesn't have to be that way! I think adding bright red to your fall wardrobe is a great idea! This is definitely one trend I will be adopting! 


DEEP AQUA AND BLUE- These colours are great for the summer-fall transition. They can be staples now and accents in your fall wardrobe! This season, I'm seeing deep aqua and royal blue in many stores. 


ARMY GREEN- This fall colour trend goes hand-in-hand with this season's tribal/African trend and is quickly becoming a staple! 


PINK- Muted pink is hands down my favourite fall colour trend! It adds a feminine touch to any ensemble. Add it to your wardrobe in the form of accessories or clothes and instantly soften any look. Brighter pinks were seen in GUESS as accents on otherwise black and white shirts. This created a feminine rock chic--a staple of their fall collection. 


PLAID- Plaid shirts were huge last year and appear to be back. I haven't seen as many as I did last fall, but I'm sure they're on their way!
