Ruby Tuesday

There is nothing quite like a good, tailored coat. It's an investment that can make or break an entire outfit. So when I saw this tomato red stunner over at Cupcakes and Cashmere, I knew it was time to fork out some cash. You can find it here at Shopbop, along with this shorter red and white number that is, unfortunately, a little out of my price range. But a girl can dream right?

Marlies Allmaier business card design

Absolutely crushing on these hand lettered/stamped business cards by Typejockeys, a design firm out of Austria. Gorgeous typography, brilliant red, and a tangible, handmade product - what more could you ask for?! Time to hit the craft store for a little ink methinks.

Paul & Joe Full Coverage Lipstick in Rouge

It took me a long time to write this post. Every time I tried to put fingers to keys, I ended up sounding like a complete moron. Maybe it's because I am so in love with and have a long, personal relationship with this brand that it makes it almost impossible to do it justice. You see, Paul & Joe has come in and out of my life at some pretty key moments and this red lipstick is currently helping me through a big transition. It may seem silly to attribute a beauty product to helping you through something, but if that's what it does, why fight it? Paul & Joe will make you feel like a 30s ingenue. It will inspire you with it's luxe, feminine packaging. And it will comfort you like a warm cup of tea. But all you really need to know, is that Paul & Joe is a pretty thing indeed.

Sunday Best

Jane Aldridge, the girl behind Sea of Shoes, is one of the most influential style bloggers on the interwebs today. Not only does she tastefully put together gorgeous ensembles for all of us to see, but she is also a designer collaborating with the likes of Urban Outfitters and Gryphon. A fan of the colour red, she really should be featured on our Ruby Tuesday pages, but Jane has such great style we couldn't refuse her our Sunday Best.

In honour of some upcoming Pretty Things nuptials, I am posting this gorgeous red inspired wedding photo. Shot by the fabulous Feather & Stone, this image of Letitia and Kristian is so cute it makes Elmo look like the Grouch. The handmade 50's inspired wedding dress is a stunner and if you hit up the full photo roll here, you'll notice the skirt actually has polka dots on it. Could it get any better?

Love, love, love this smattering of red from Diana Rikasari over at Hot Chocolate and Mint. The scarf/hat combo is so beachy, elegant that it makes me want summer to never end. And someone please tell me why I have yet to decorate my apartment with red bird cut-outs?! A simple, yet cheerful decor idea is on its way.

A little while ago I returned from a 2-year stint as a backpacker/bartender in London, England. I loved London and I especially loved the shopping. Everything seemed more risky, more unique, and more fun. To this day, I still miss the wonderful UK shoe store Office. Occasionally, I will check the website to see if there are shoes worth the cost of exchange and shipping. These red, polka dot lined mid heels are coming close to being totally worth it! Should I or shouldn't I?
