All That Glitters is Gold

I'm never one to wear much else than black, but I do appreciate a pop of color here and there. Typically, I prefer blues and reds, but something both the fashion world and I agree on at the moment is gold. Whether a swipe of eyeshadow, or a pair of nifty oxfords, gold is my new go-to pick for that certain "pop" my wardrobe desires.

Do You Dare?

Sexy. Striking. Bold. Brazen. I'm talkin' lipstick, red lipstick. Put on the modern map by French make up brand Guerlain's cleverly named "Ne m'oubliez pas" (Don't forget me) in 1870, the classic color has endured the decades of fashion ups and downs, always finding a way into the cosmetic cases of women everywhere. Reintroduced in the 50s by Revlon's Fire & Ice and then widely popularized by music/beauty icon Madonna in the mid-80s, red lipstick was given the gold seal of staying power. This season, I dare you to find your perfect shade (there are so many on the market) and swipe it on thick. Be daring. Make a statement. With your friend Red, you can never go wrong.
