Red To Toe...Well, Almost

H2T red is not only a bold statement, but has been completely on trend and incredibly stylish. Red takes no prisoners and in the past two years, we've seen a wild jump in fashionistas rocking this trend. 

So if there was ever a time when it's ok to rock your red pants with a red top, red shoes, and a red bag it is now. You can also choose to mix things up with a bit lighter or darker shades in the mix. Remember these looks here and here?

What's not to love!

Much like the warm and cold undertones of lipsticks discussed here, there's a red for everyone whether you lean towards the darker burgundy or a attention grabbing crimson. Find the one that works well for your undertones and go paint the town red in it. 

There's no better way to rock this trend in the cold season than with a red jacket that instantly becomes a statement piece. I've never been one to shy away from a bold color palette so I went for a red bag and red lips and red sunnies. I also opted for a ring in the fiery hue and black boots for an understated yet chic finish. 

Um, I get extra points for daring to try on the red boots, ha!

How's your holiday shopping going? I'm so last minute shame on me so as expected, nothing is done.

Your thoughts?

Red To Toe...Well, Almost

The Tale of Red

You know I’ve had an itch to wear red a lot lately but red on red on red! An overdose of drama and glamour. An aesthetic delight. Bold, fiery, bright and beautiful if I say so myself, (I said that here too, hehe). Ok ok, how about - RAVISHING. SEXY. It’s been nothing short of an amazing month, a celebration of me, a celebration of red. 

Can I just gush some more? This look in my opinion is so absurdly wonderful! Stellar! Divine! Perfect! Jaw droopingly beautiful! Speaks volumes without saying a word. I could go on and on. How else would you describe it? Total score right? Thanks to my friend Dwight of Vindictive By D Anthony for this piece. If you follow me on the gram, you should have seen a clip of the top in the making, amazing!

I honestly won’t mind waking up like this every morning. On matching red luxurious beddings drowned in lots and lots of frilly red pillows. A fresh scent from a bouquet of long stem red roses filling the air. Gosh how I love red roses. And how enchanting the color red is becoming from where I stand. I feel me drifting off in a red world. Eyes shut with only red in vision. Come back Idu! Hehe.

Wearing one shade head to toe isn’t a no-no, it’s actually encouraged. How I love a monochrome look and how I have mastered the art of colorful dressing but never feel like red is my thing. But I've seen monochrome red looks appear so impeccable. If you choose to, you may tone reds down with neutrals to avoid looking over done. I did, with the lip color.

Are you digging it? Did your heart literally skip a couple beats? I bet you can’t help but love it too, just like me. 

The month that comes 'in like a lion and out like a lamb' is coming to a close. I chose to begin and end my birth month dressed in red. Like I stated earlier, it’s been an amazing March despite being a lil sick two weeks ago. Thanks again for all the goodwill.

Heading out on vacation to Istanbul and Santorini tomorrow and look forward to having great Spring Break getaway with my friend. 

You know what else I look forward to? Drinking wine! I drink a glass of red wine every evening but I gave up that ritual for lent. As lent comes to a close, I look forward to enjoying some wine again. Tomorrow. It’s a date. Inflight. I’m all bright eyed and bushy tailed. Let’s go!

…back to street style looks.

I get a lot of questions on how/where to purchase Vindictive pieces. The are available, hit me up on the gram, here or on fb.

Leave a comment below and let me know you stopped by.

Have a very happy Easter dressed in gorgeous pastels.

By the way, tea anyone?
