I've said it once and I'll say it again - red is such an intimidating color to wear. But this seasons runway gave me a new perspective on this vivacious hue. Incorporating red in intentional increments can be fun, if done the right way. Best rule of thumb, add a little at a time and always wear with confidence.  

Quilted Quality.

Quilted leather always reminds of iconic Chanel, but I'm loving other designers takes on the chic design. I especially have my eye on adding a quilted leather skirt to my own personal collection in the very near future....

Graphic Knits.

Not to be a total Summer buzz kill, but a tissue thin sweatshirt is the perfect transition piece into the Fall. And if you happen to be in San Francisco right now, you would agree that one of these cozy sweatshirts would be an ideal for layering during these fog-filled days and evenings.
