Orange loves pink!

Since end 2009 orange has become a regular in spring and resort collections of many designers. For me it was always somehow reminding on 70s tailored shirts and luxurious one piece bading suits. Spring 2011. Collections are rich with bright colors and optimism – everything goes! The brighter the better!

Orange is combined with red and pink to make a BAM impression. My favorite accessory  while wearing pink and orange outfit is a light pink lipstick while keeping the rest of the look simple without additional pop colors – just like Jil Sander did in his SS 11/12. Collection.

I have selected a number of images for inspiration : makeup and hair backstage shoots from SS 2011/12, to see how this fashion color blocking trend is spilling out to beauty as well, an editorial from May, 2009. Issue of Vogue India (feat.Lakshmi Menor) on the very bottom of the post, amazing clutch and a cute little Zara purse as a mainstream alternative and finally a couple of runway looks to bring it all together.

Red passionista!

There is something truly magical about the red dress, the same as with red lipstick. It demands attention, its erotic, its romantic, its seductive and passionate and you just can't take your eyes of of it! So for all of you madly in love with your boyfriend, girlfriend, new pair of shoes or maybe that new red dress which is totally IN this season, I have selected a number of my favorite Vogue red dresses to encourage you to go for it! Every women should have a red piece in her closet! Not for her man - for herself ;)

I hope you all are wearing something red today, at least some lacy underwear. Being in relationship or single it automatically gives you that feeling of naughtiness and attraction all sometimes crave to have - today is the perfect day to bring it out! ;)

"I had on a beautiful red dress, but what I saw was even more valuable. 

I was strong. I was pure. I had genuine thoughts inside that no one could see, 

that no one could ever take away from me. I was like the wind. "
