Real: Red hat, plaid and gray. A lesson in winter layering

Although the winter is almost done (hopefully), I still believe some of you would benefit from imaginative layering in the cold days to come. I am no expert but I do get these great ideas on how to combine items in my closet as never before. This could possibly be due to my inability to shop these days, partly for not having any (and I mean ANY) room in my closet, and partly due to my lack of mula for these shopping expeditions I have became accustomed to. Let me get to the point before you scroll down to the pictures (if you have not done so already in which case you are not even reading this so I don't care what I write because you suck, kidding, kidding). 

Ahem.
One of my favorite things to do in the past year is wearing dresses and layering on top of them. You usually need a shirt which doesn't have a deep v-neck of some sort but something that is pretty closed on top. That is to cover the whole top of the dress and not have things sticking out and looking just plain awkward. Once you have the dress and the shirt, I would suggest to belt it as I have, just to add some shape to the outfit. Then you can continue with a denim, plaid shirt, sweater, fur vest and so on. Put on some hot booties, a matching coat, and voila! - you have a stylish, cozy, warm winter outfit. Do be careful not to be too colorful. Stick to neutrals or lots of black and denim with one accent color (as I have).

Well, this is all.

Spring Trend: Red + Pink

While my mother would probably cringe and mumble how horrible I look, I can not help but get swept away in the pink and red craze that has started in the fall season and continues strong into the wonderful ,coming very fast, spring. 


I would stick to the tailored pants/shorts/skirt scenario with a simple shirt on top or the again tailored bottoms with a blazer in the contrasting hue. I think the accessories should be kept in nudes (or black) just so the whole outfit doesn't look clown-like (and we know that people manage to obtain that effect with even less drastic colors).

Red to match the carpet

Red i definitely the color of the season. Maybe you should consider it for the next birthday party/new years eve?

I love the hourglass shape...

Even the black-loving Angelina Jolie put on some sexy red.

Classic and so cute. I would do it sort though. Looks younger.

Love how structured it looks.

Fall is here...

I feel it in the air, I feel it in my bones...

This photo makes me feel happy about it. Pay attention to
 the extraordinary choice of details:
gloves, round glasses, the braid and of course
the fur.

Lady in red

I absolutely LOVE this Donna Karan red dress that Nina Dobrev wore to the 2011 Emmys. The strapless top is perfect and her tiny waist is amazing for this cut. Not to mention how wonderful the color red is, how it captures attention, is the color that express femininity and looks amazing on most skin tones. It's the only color that has it's own label on my blog! The ultimate elegance. Love Love Love <3

No better way to spice up that new dress then with a new make-up look. Skip the usual routine and go for something new. Trust me, everyone will notice. The point is to go out of your comfort zone, to embrace a new day, a new night, a new look that will make you feel different. Different is not always bad.
