Crazy for Crimson

10/31/13 | Fashion and Style, Phillip Lim, Sephora, Vivienne Westwood

First off, HAPPY HALLOWEEN.  I was going to write a great whity post about Halloween and then I got bored half way through. I thought about just finishing it and publishing something I didn’t really care about.  I vetoed that idea ten seconds after it popped into my head.  Why should I have to post about Halloween just because it is the day of?  Nope.  Instead I bring you something I have been wanting to write about for a while, my newest color crush: crimson. 
Not only is it the color of the season, it’s the color of my virtual closet! When this deep, red hue started to pop up on store shelves this Fall, I immediately started pinning and putting together a Polyvore board of my favorites: 

I do not know where I have been, sometimes it seems like under a rock, but I was only introduced to One Kings Lane last month and I am obsessed – one of their current items is this Chuck Chesterfield Sofa in Crimson and it is gorgeous! This Vivienne Westwood Anglomania Pannier Embroidered Top has such a beautiful quilted-effect it is something I could see myself wearing all fall and winter, day or night!  I am a huge fan I usually the Sugar Rose Tinted color but I might have to pick up this Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment in Passion the next time I am at Sephora.

I am not usually a fan of anything bedazzled or with crystals but I might have to make an exception for these gorgeous Fenton Crystal Spear Earrings. They come in gray and clear as well but this crimson shade is by far my favorite! Next up? A trend I a still really trying to get on board with – spiky bracelets. I am not sure I could pull off this  Humble Chic Leather Spike Wrap Bracelet but it is too pretty not to include.  I have said it before and I will say it again, I am hesitant to spend a ton of money on sunglasses because I scratch them but I love these MICHAEL Michael Kors Bradshaw ones.  This necklace is the second item from Fenton  on this collage but they make very things and I love this Crimson Coral Bib Necklace – a great statement piece and the crimson color makes the summer design fit for fall.

Booties are my go-to for fall and these For the Trek of It Boot in Crimson are be great and they are only $45!  It is only fitting that this 3.1 Phillip Lim Crimson Leather Pashli Mini Satchel is the most expensive thing on my list – thank goodness he came out with that line from Target and I got two of the bags.  This Vivienne Westwood Anglomania Metropolitan embroidered quilted-effect skirt is beautiful and I would actually not pair it with that top above but wear them separately as statement pieces. Finally, these Saint Laurent Skinny stretch-leather pants are stunning – I could never pull them off – but they are gorgeous!

What do you think of crimson?

    I’m with you on crimson/bordeaux. It’s one of my favorite colors. It flatters just about everyone and it’s such a rich tone! I’m loving that sofa and skirt!
