Seeing Red: Autumn's Color Story

{ Via: Tuckernuck }

Bye Bye beige, fiery red has made a chic comeback this fall. You know what they say, the girl in the red dress (shoes, hat, bag, etc) always has the best time. Loving a good color story, I put together this red hot edit that is sure to turn heads.

Nevada Vegan Leather Trench
 This terrific trench is a head turner. It would be so much fun to own.

Alice + Olivia  and  Saks Fifth Avenue

Red Guipure Lace Daphne Dress

A Tuckernuck style staple. Love the mod vibe, and reminds me of the 60's. There's an oversize bow in back, which adds the fun. If red is not your color, you will find three other stylish shades.

Tuckernuck

Victoria Beckham Dolman Midi 

Victoria goes head to toe red, and I love the look. Where couldn't you wear this?

Shopbop  And  Saks Fifth Avenue

Marnie Crinkle Bootie

Oh I couldn't love a bootie better. These are just so much fun! The heel height is perfect.

Frances Valentine

Zahar Bootie

If you want just a touch of red, these booties make a beautiful statement. The heel is way to high for me, but I think they are wonderful. Under $160.

Schutz-Shoes

 Pocket Tweed Jacket

Really cute and very affordable!

Mango

Stand Studio faux Leather

Bucket Hat

Here's the buy of the edit. A really fun hat that was $120 and now on sale for $30.

Shopbop

Melie Bianco Brigitte Satchel

Affordable luxury. This brand is known for their expert craftsmanship and use of premium vegan leather. If you enjoy the woven bags of Bottega Veneta, you will appreciate this bag. It's under $100.

Anthropologie

Elaine Jacket

One of the most interesting coats I have seen this season. Not totally red, but all on the same side of the color wheel.  So unique! It's all faux but so fabulous.

Cult Gaia    and    Nordstrom

SSONE Nail Lacquer

I want to purchase this (even though I never wear red) just for the bottle. This shade is called "Rowan" which described as crimson harvest.

Weekend Bags For Late Summer & Fall Getaways

 

Labor Day, the unofficial start to Autumn, is right around the corner. Are you escaping? If you are, why not do it with style? Pack these bags and get ready for a weekend away!

Woven Weekender

I own this bag in black and burgundy. They are the best and roomiest bags in my luggage wardrobe. The bags look like a million, but certainly are budget friendly. Best of all, they are vegan leather, but you would never know.

Lulu Dharma

Cabana Bundle

Traveling in a group with your fave friends is so much better. One of Oprah's favorite things, and I can see why. Crafted in Ecocraft Canvas, a total of 33 recycled water bottles were used to make this bundle. Each piece can be purchased

 separately, too.

Paravel

Lipault Paris Duffles

I've always been intrigued by this stylish and colorful line of luggage. They are having a big sale now. If one isn't big enough, you might afford two.

Lipault Paris

Leather Triple Zipper Weekender

What a beautiful bag! It's made from Italian leather in a woman owned factory in Turkey. Inside you will find three compartments and even shoe pockets. It is so good!

Cuyana

I Am A Plastic Bag Multi Pocket Tote

If money is no object, this carryall by Anya Hindmarch will be a fun addition to your bounty of bags. It's impossibly clever and made from 

recycled plastic.

Bergdorf Goodman

MZ Wallace Jim Bag

The Jim will be your go-to for overnights, weekends, and work-outs. It's lightweight quilted nylon, and available in a magnet grey or black.

MZ Wallace

Kate Spade Jacquard Large Weekender Bag

Expect the unexpected from Kate Spade. The graphic flower print is accented by hot pink and red stripes. It's just so bright and happy.

Kate Spade

Le Pliage 21-Inch Expandable Bag

Longchamp has long been a stylish travel companion. And who doesn't need a bag that gets bigger as you go? This nylon bag gets elevated with leather trimmings. Available at

Nordstrom or Longchamp (for more colors)

Bedford Weekender

With an understated logo print, it's a less pricy take on those LV bags. Handsome in brown and acorn, but also available in two lighter colorways.

Michael Kors

Leather & Canvas Weekender

Gender and outfit neutral, this bag will take you anywhere. It comes complete with a chic striped lining.

Saturdays At Shop This

 

I am excited for the Oscars. This personal shopper always has an eye out for styles, trends, and the best dressed. Let's face it, we all have some clothing and accessories that are just begging to go out. It's been a while. Even if you are like me, and beyond wearing a stiletto heel, we can still fancy it up a bit. This link up features all things that will elevate your day to day.

Sachi & Babi is always a good source for dressed up style. I adore the Valentina Blouse now on sale. It would dress up a simple pair of black pants. The Portia polka dot dress could take you out to dinner quite nicely. And if you can tuck in a shirt, the Whitney Pants are fab!

Dazzleshadow: MAC Cosmetics powder shadow is so pretty. I have "she sparkles" and like to put just a touch of it either in the center of my eyelid or at the inner corners. Save 20% sitewide with Free Shipping. Code: SURPRISE20

 I really enjoy the beauty looks at the Oscars. Recently on Facebook, there was a "thing" going around about women not wearing makeup the last year. That would be impossible for me. At the minimum you need some tinted moisturizer and a little concealer. I can recommend Trish McEvoy's Instant Eye Lift. It's more of a brightener than a cover up. And my favorite tinted moisturizer is Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue. I wear natural, 

which is a pure beige. 

A little sparkle at your neck and ears always draws attention, and brightens your face. I received Lisa Mason's Diamonique sterling silver earrings for my birthday. They were on my wish list. I love them! The sparkle is real, the diamonds are not. In fact, they don't look like stones at all. Just silver sparkle.

This Dotti Lace Panel Blouse by Reiss is crazy good. It sure would elevate a pair of jeans or white pants.

I caused a viral sensation on Facebook yesterday when I posted Lulu Dharma's Woven Weekender Bag. The post was in honor of Earth Day. It's vegan leather, and on sale. I own a tote of hers and it looks very Bottega-like. I purchased the burgundy, though it was a toss up. This bag will elevate any road trip or plane ride. I am taking mine to NYC!

Speaking of NYC, there's really only one store that I need to visit, Bergdorf Goodman. And the department that I love the most is Linda's at Bergdorf. A few of my fave finds are: Jonathan Simkhai's Oversize Broderie Anglaise Top (Wow) Gianvito Rossi's Mesh Net Low-Top Sneakers (But OMG they are pricy.) And Jason Wu's Leather Culottes are beyond! Can't wait.

Prosecco On The Patio: You might remember the Mario Luca Guisti Acrylic champagne flutes in the Mother's Day edit. I think they deserve another look. Why not feel fancy outdoors? I adore them. They make a great gift.

Revenge Glamour: Town and Country is taking cues from Princess Diana, Alexis Carrington, and Selma Blair to master our dazzling post-Covid wardrobes. Love it!

Spread a little sparkle wherever you go this weekend!
