Tuesday Trend: Oxblood Accessories

10/23/12 | Alexander McQueen, Celine, Essie, nail polish, NARS, OPI, Top Shop, Tuesday Trend, YSL

I knew it was coming but ox blood is definitely here for the fall!  Oxblood, also called true blood or a variation of burgundy is EVERYWHERE. We saw it on the fall 2012 runways, notably from Yves Saint Laurent, Peter Som, and Haider Ackermann:

But if you think this color is too intense to wear in a large clothing item there are many oxblood accessories: 


ALEXANDER MCQUEEN   Oxblood Whipsnake Knucklebox Clutch   
                    
                                      
 CELINE    Suede Leather Bicolor Convertible Clutch /  TOPSHOP  Suede Wrap Bracelet  
BIONDA CASTANA  Olivia Strappy Sandals  / RIVER ISLAND  Ladies Gloves       
             
EMILY JANE MILLINERY   Ladies Classic Porkpie Hat in Oxblood 
ALEXANDER MCQUEEN   Oxblood Suede Demanta Tote   (here)

And a trend that everyone can jump on if you have not decided if this is your color? Oxblood nails!  In expensive and still amazingly fashionable!
