Good morning, Friday...up early to try and get a workout in before the madness starts all over again today- the move was record breaking for my personal history anyway (took six hours), and boxes are all over the place. Last night, David and I called it at around 8 and walked around the neighborhood a bit, which did not disappoint. I am amazed at how much is around us, available to us, and inspiring to us. This ain't Miami anymore...the power of the patina of old just does it for me- give me a townhouse in Brooklyn Heights over beachfront in Miami any day. I know that's weird, but it's tots true. Everything here feels so elegant and timeless, even though Barney's Coop has moved in down the street, as has Barnes and Noble and Pet Smart. The old and the new ain't so bad though...
But enough about moving and boxes and discovery. It's the holidays and you need a red dress. I love red dresses- well let's say I admire them from a distance because I cant' wear red at all. I think red is very sexy and lovely and confident, like most of you out there, so go buy a crimson creation RIGHT NOW won't you? I myself can't buy another item of clothing for about two years- the parade of wardrobe boxes marching into my apartment was a bit insane, and I felt the moving dudes were judging me, not to mention my husband, who simply shook his head.
But back to the red dress- there's loads in all shapes and sizes, but take a cue from this drop dead gorgeous (and most likely expensive) creation from Donna Karan (show above). It's so sexy it hurts- simple, elegant, and HOT and my hands down favorite this year. This Jason Wu is super cute too for those who like a more vintage silhouette, which is always cute for holiday cocktail events:
And for those of us who can't quite do true red, I quite like this option from Rachel Zoe, which is still kinda punchy but a bit less in your face yet cool...also this other Donna Karan number skews more crimson, deep red, a color I can actually wear with no problem as opposed to "true" red:
Whatever your plans this season, put a little red in your heart, and closet. Even if it's just a scarf, gloves, or lipstick- or of course there's always a Wellie, done up in red for the holidays on snowy nights (amazing how many girls wear Hunters in this town- red will surely set you apart from the herd):
