If this fiery colour isn’t already in your Fall/Winter 2012 wardrobe, it’s time to go shopping. But hands off the Danier jacket… it’s mine. #WANT

  1. 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 :)

  4. 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.

    • 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 :)

  5. 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.

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

  7. 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! )

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

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

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

    • 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!

  12. 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!!

  14. 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.

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

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

  27. 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!

    • 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!

  29. 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.

  30. 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!

  31. 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…

  32. 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!!

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

  35. 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)

  37. It’s been 5 years since this post but this colour is still hot and a lot of the products are to
