Red is Right

First and foremost, Happy First Day of Fall and Happy Friday!

I'm switching things up a bit on the blog and doing away with Foodie Friday. Recently, I've been sharing recipes a couple of other days throughout the week (I get too excited and can't wait until the end of the week) so it seems silly to force another recipe on Friday. I will definitely be continuing sharing lots of delicious stuff every week here, so don't fret. On this particular Friday, I'm posting about a color I'm finding so very hot - red.

Red is not normally a color I'm drawn to. It can easily overwhelm any look, but recently I've really been loving this color.


I don't know if its the recent gowns on the red carpet, or the feeling of fall that's in the air, but I feel the need to put a bowl of crisp red apples on the table, light a red candle, throw on a red scarf - anything to bring this bold color into my life. Here are a few items I think would work perfectly:
1. West Elm Lacquer Tray 2. Voluspa Candle 3. Kate Spade Statement Necklace 4. Hunter Wellington Boots 5. Marc by Marc Jacobs Nylon Bag 6. J.Crew Edie Purse 7. Essie Fifth Avenue 8. Alexander McQueen Flat 9. CB2 Throw Pillow

Lastly, I just wanted to say a big, huge, thank you... because this little blog hit 100 followers this week! So thank you to all of my lovely followers for your sweet comments every day. And another thank you to all of the bloggers that have been so kind showing me the ropes these past few months. Huge smiles over here.

  1. I love red...and not just because of my hair color, haha. I've always wanted to try a red lip, but I feel like it may be too much.

    PS: I just wanted to tell you I gave your blog the "Tell me about yourself" award on my blog :) Feel free to check it out and repost, if you like! :)

  13. I am NOT a fan of red yet found myself in a red J. Crew coat yesterday and do love red nails. So...I guess I like it a bit more than I think.

    But I don't like red roses and probably never will ;)

    See you Sun!!!!
