Red Hot

Welcome to my new obsession - red!
I usually go for quite neutral colours or floral prints but recently I bought a couple of red dresses, now I love this shade.


The artwork is by Jody Pratt, a Melbourne illustrator whose website you can view here.

Sportsgirl easy retro dress in red (also comes in black) $89.95

It's a really flattering shape and perfect for girls that are much bigger at the hips and smaller at the waist. The cut out adds a little something to a simple silhouette.
For the last 2 weeks I've also been rocking lots of red nail polish and lippy.
The red really adds that pop of colour to plain outfits.

Wearing bombshell lipstick and tomato nail polish.

I'm sure all of you would know the Emmy's were this past week. Each awards show there may be a couple of ladies in red however this year the amount of red was at least triple.

Both the Modern Family girls Sarah Hyland and Sofia Vergara worked red with a slight coral shade.

My second red dress has a slight coral tinge. I love lace ofcourse but at the moment I think bright lace is even better. I'm going to do a post on pop coloured lace soon I think.

I wore this outfit to a 21st on Saturday night.

    On one of my posts, the building covered with vines, you asked where the location was.

    The building is in Yellow Springs, Ohio.
