    I’m not sure why but I don’t own much in red. But the stuff above looks so nice. Really pretty.

      I don’t have a lot of red either, but I’ll be changing that this season. The red sweater from Mango fits like a glove! Perfect way to introduce the hue :)

    I love the red leather jacket!

    • Lena

      October 15, 2012 at 4:37 pm

      ME too! By FAR my fave piece from the collection :)

    Ive always loved red! I had a pair of boots years ago, I called my Jan Arden boots. This season I’ve been trying to find some affordable lace up red booties with spike accents.

    • Lena

      October 15, 2012 at 4:38 pm

      LOVE that you call your red boots your Jann Arden boots! And check out Town Shoes – they’ve got lots of booties and spikes this season :)

    I have a few red tops, but that’s about it. I think a pair of red skinny jeans would be fab. AND, I love the little red lace dress that you’ve posted a photo of – it’s tooooo cute.

    • Lena

      October 15, 2012 at 4:39 pm

      I’m in love with that lace dress and think I might just need to grab it :) And yes, red skinny jeans FTW!

    October 15, 2012 at 1:58 pm

    Very nice! Love the sweater and of course the jacket!

    • Lena

      October 15, 2012 at 4:39 pm

      You have impeccable taste, Huguette!

    I LOVE red! I’m happy fall is here so I can finally wear my bright red peacoat I snagged on sale back in the Spring :)

    ( That Danier jacket is stunning! )

    • Lena

      October 15, 2012 at 4:40 pm

      I am supremely jealous that you have a bright red peacoat! You’ll have to tweet me a picture:)

    Thanks for sharing the trend.

    • Lena

      October 15, 2012 at 4:47 pm

      My pleasure!

    I LOVE Red! Can you tell from my picture? LMAO!

    The Danier jacket would look fabulous with your new hair Lena!

    • Lena

      October 15, 2012 at 4:44 pm

      Thanks RubyRed! I think so too :)

    Love all your picks especially the jacket, shoes and cloche. I miss Simons, I’m from Montreal and the online store selection sucks.

    • Lena

      October 15, 2012 at 4:44 pm

      I hear you! It’s such a huge department store, but we only see about 10% of it online. Thankfully, the cloche is available online!

    That Modcloth dress has my name all over it. Great storyboard Lena~

      October 16, 2012 at 7:38 am

      Thank you! And duly impressed you know it’s called a storyboard, LOL

    Oooohhhh….I love that motorcycle jacket!!! I may just have to go to Danier to try it on, and leave Santa my size, and the name it’s under on hold! LOL!!

    • Lena

      October 16, 2012 at 7:39 am

      HAHAHA great plan! If only everyone made it so easy for Santa to give the perfect gift!

  13. Diana @ Toronto Teacher Mom

    October 15, 2012 at 9:46 pm

    I want the jacket and the t-strap pumps. LOVE!

    • Lena

      October 16, 2012 at 7:39 am

      You would look smashing in both, darling!

    I tend to stick to my usual darker colours, but when I do wear red I am surprised to discover it actually looks good on me! The Mango jumper looks comfy, too.

    • Lena

      October 16, 2012 at 7:40 am

      It’s so comfy, and dresses up jeans exceptionally well. Love that red looks good on you!

  15. Victoria Ess

    October 15, 2012 at 11:47 pm

    Ooo I love the jacket and the dress — totally items I would wear!

    • Lena

      October 16, 2012 at 7:40 am

      Me too! They’re at the top of my list for must-haves this season.

    I really like the red leather coat

  17. Nicole W.

    October 16, 2012 at 1:37 am

    Love red! I especially love the polish, jacket, dress, and bag pictured above – wish I owned it all!

    • Lena

      October 16, 2012 at 7:41 am

      Me too! But actually that would be too much of a good thing – sometimes just a few pieces are needed to oomph up your wardrobe!

  18. Amy Brown

    October 16, 2012 at 11:34 am

    You inspired me with this one, I bought a red sweater at Old Navy today after seeing this post yesterday.

    • Lena

      October 16, 2012 at 5:19 pm

      Amazing Amy! I’m so pleased that you did that! Way to get on trend :)

    I knew that was a modcloth dress!! If anyone wants a $20 off Modcloth code (has to be a new user) here you go. http://sharethelove.modcloth.com/a/clk/1D73mX

    I definitely need more red in my wardrobe – now’s the perfect time I guess!

    • Lena

      October 16, 2012 at 5:20 pm

      It IS!! No better time to start seeing red :)

    I love Red!!! Such a passionate colour!

    • Lena

      October 17, 2012 at 7:29 am

      Yes, it is! I haven’t heard it be described that way in a long time, but you’re right!

    Red is my favourite colour and I love the cotton jumper.

      November 5, 2012 at 8:39 am

      I’m trying to love red more too! And I love the jumper :)

    I love that purse! and the red dress is adorable!

      You have excellent taste, J :)

    I love that dress. Damn you, Modcloth.

      HAHAHA I couldn’t agree more!

    Oooo that red bag is cute. Love the basket weave!

      November 5, 2012 at 8:40 am

      Me too. I’m a huge fan of basket weave done well.

    Oh. That dress. I am in love with that dress. ♥ You have some amazing taste, Lena :-)

      I can say the same about you! xx

    October 20, 2012 at 6:42 pm

    I adore Red! For some reason I always get complimented on my skin when I wear red! I can see a great coat in red in my future!

    • Lena

      November 5, 2012 at 8:41 am

      LOVE it! And love that you’re open to wearing red – it’s such a daring colour, but works so well with many skin tones!

  28. Sharlene

    Gorgeous – love it all!

  29. Cindy

    October 22, 2012 at 12:16 pm

    I’m in heaven, I’m in heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak… I adore red! Actually pink is my favourite, but red is a colour I look good in and for that reason I find I’m always drawn to it. Those items are so very hot! I’m sorry Lena, but I may have to fight you for the jacket.

    Maybe we can have some sort of agreement. You get the jacket and I’ll take the dress. Thanks for posting. You’ve given me some great ideas for this year’s fall wardrobe.

    • Lena

      November 5, 2012 at 8:42 am

      Hahaha we can BOTH get the jacket and look spectacular in it ;)

    Just saw a post that showed a photo of Mariah Carey dressed in mostly red so it seems that your prediction of it being a big colour this season is right on!

    • Lena

      November 5, 2012 at 8:42 am

      Thanks for confirming the trend, Patti!

    Red is such a happy colour! In a difficult season for me I love to wear red…The OPI nail colour you show looks lovely…I find it’s not easy finding a tasteful, pretty red nail polish…

    • Lena

      November 5, 2012 at 8:43 am

      You’re right Rhonda, as red nail polish is usually associated with being “vampy”…

  32. PW

    October 30, 2012 at 1:42 pm

    RED is my favourite colour! I think the reds in the Fall and Winter months really bring something special to the sea of black and grey. Great post, and I love the photo collage!!

    • Lena

      November 5, 2012 at 8:43 am

      Thank you so much PW! I agree, it’s the perfect splash of colour. On the hunt for a red scarf as we speak!

  33. Genevieve Walker

    MUST have that red leather jacket! It would be cute in all seasons!

    • Lena

      November 5, 2012 at 8:59 am

      Yes! It goes from fall to spring, for sure!

  34. Rose

    November 2, 2012 at 2:51 pm

    I’m glad b/c this is my fav color!!!

  35. Laird N Crystal

    November 14, 2012 at 3:31 pm

    Oh I sooo love red! (I am actually sporting a 2 tone red mani right now) I think that the red purse should be replaced with a more affordable Grace Adele Emma bag in red. If you have checked out the new Grace Adele you should! They are stunning and a lot of fun. If you want you can check it out at wwww(dot)crystalenglot(dot)graceadele(dot)ca. (FYI we have a lifetime manufacturers warranty on all the Grace Adele products)
