Red is the New Black: Dresses, Purses and Shoes for Valentine's Day

Posted by Alexandra C. | Wednesday February 13, 2013

While our all time love will always be a LBD, we think it might be time to shake things up and inject some colour into February. We're suggesting: Red (surprise). There's a reason that Little Red Riding Hood chose it as her signature hue. Red is hot. It's universally flattering and always makes a statement. Whether you're doing red as print, pattern or solid, it's an impactful colour and we think the perfect one for V-Day.
