Decor And Fashion 2012: Seeing Red

...not always a bad thing.

...forget about holiday associations(even Valentine's Day for that matter/hope everyone had a great one though). Red is entirely it's own thing. Ask a matador. I'd look twice if I saw red in the summer time, and I'm sure you would too. There's always one woman in a red dress, isn't there. It's a color so powerful; I'm seriously considering classifying it rather as a shape. And that's simply because everything around it always seems to bounce off of it(must be physical)... So below we have a nice little sample of ways you can 'get-red' in your wardrobe and at home. And if you're anything like me, everything red in your current environment will suddenly pop out to your eyes a little more after seeing this post(it's startling). Enjoy!

Red Valentino Hobo Bag On FashAndFurn.com

Seeing Red, Fashion, Valentino

I'm starting with this Valentino bag because it's shiny on top of being red. If you're looking for attention, this is surely the route to take. Very gorgeous(and red).







Red Missoni Dress On FashAndFurn.com

Seeing Red, Fashion, Missoni

A short red dress can go a long way, but this one is somewhat softer in texture than what you usually see(less hard lined). It's a lovely mixture of bold and soft I think.







Red Sam Edelman Pump On FashAndFurn.com

Seeing Red, Fashion, Sam Edelman

A couple of smaller things now, if you're not inclined to go all in just yet. Spikes and red seem naturally in love, need I say more.







Red Zanotti Stiletto Bootie On FashAndFurn.com

Seeing Red, Fashion, Zanotti

Another great red shoe, this time from Zanotti.







Red BEBE Skinny Belt On FashAndFurn.com

Seeing Red, Fashion, BEBE

Or you could just sport a skinny red belt like this one from BEBE. It's amazing how powerful just one thin line of red can be.







Red Alexander McQueen Scarf On FashAndFurn.com

Seeing Red, Fashion, Alexander McQueen

More subdued, but still powerful, this red scarf from Alexander McQueen(for the darker/mysterious types).







Red Lanvin Swimwear On FashAndFurn.com

Seeing Red, Fashion, Lanvin

Summer is around the corner(in New York at least) and I love the lines of the old-fashioned inspired bathing suits. So elegant. This one in red by Lanvin is shocking and refined.







Red Urban Outfitters Readers On FashAndFurn.com

Seeing Red, Fashion, Urban Outfitters

Maybe it would be too much to put with the above, but who cares. Red sunglasses from Urban Outfitters. I'm slightly obsessed with the old librarian shapes lately.







Red Urban Outfitters Clock On FashAndFurn.com

Seeing Red, Decor, Urban Outfitters

And when you get home, hard to see how you could be late for something with this red rimmed clock.







Red Chandra Rug On FashAndFurn.com

Seeing Red, Decor, Chandra

I love(LOVE) red in big patched geometrical shapes; particularly on the floor. This would work well with any of your existing pieces.







Red Alphaville Chair On FashAndFurn.com

Seeing Red, Decor, Alphaville

And lastly, a little modern red chair to float around the apartment/office. Has a lot of character for such a simple shape.
