Red All Over


Does anyone remember that style book that told you what season you were based on your skin tone and hair color? It must have been from the eighties, and my mom must have been all about it because I grew up knowing I was a winter and that black, white and red would look good on me. 

Kate Spade has the most delicious collection of red merchandise right now, and speaking of delicious, have you seen the company's short film collaboration with Ely Kim?

Update: The name of the book is Color Me Beautiful. Of course it is.

    HAHA--I remember that book! My mom had it too! Unfortunately, I don't remember what I was! :( HAHA. I love the 80s.

    But, I love these red pumps more. This post makes me ready to fly past Valentine's Day into spring!

    OMG. We were all about that in the 80's. I grew up knowing I was a winter, as well. I believe it also included magenta, purple and royal blue.

    Funny.

    I grew up hearing that I could never wear red (or pink) because I had red hair. And now I wear all black/grey like a widow. Thanks, mom!

    P.S. I neeeed red velvet cake now.

    Anything Kate Spade touches is lovely! I'm not usually on e for red as I am more of a blue and green person, but I find myself loving all of these!
