I’ve re-introduced the color red into my life, and I can’t get enough.  It started with this MinkPink maxi dress (first spotted on Kelli Murray), and now I want more. Red is such a striking color, and really works in every season. Next up on my shopping list: this red ASOS Drop-Waist Shift Dress, this tassel tribal necklace, the Madewell Odette Dress in red, and these red Wildfox Polarized Sunglasses ( … so cool).

Peplum shows no signs of slowing, so I thought I’d get wise to the trend and pick out a few edgier peplum pieces that could easily fit into my closet ( … okay, okay, my dream closet.)  While a flared peplum top looks great paired with a slim cut jean or pant, the peplum-on-peplum (a.k.a., peplum top worn over a flared skirt), the sweater or sweat-shirt worn over peplum, and the peplum-topped pencil skirt (my personal favorite), are fast-becoming the edgier peplum stand-outs for Fall.

I’ve always strived to make things that are somewhat icky or bulky-looking appear more girl-ified.  And I know I’m not alone here.  I mean, who didn’t go crazy with glitter glue pens for the better part of their childhood?

The hubby actually bought me this super snazzy (and supposedly user friendly … err, I think I know how to turn it on) camera many moons ago, and I rarely use it.  Part of it is that I am always running around like a crazy woman and I generally just forget it (and later kick myself for it), but also, and I know this sounds awful, it’s big, black, bulky, and kind of ugly.  There are some guys and gals who just look so cool rocking cameras around their neck, but they also look so cool in glasses, skinny jeans, and suspenders.  I blame hipsters for making me feel self-conscious in skinny jeans!  Boy have I run off on a tangent …

Right – the ugly camera.  It’s ugly.  And I make my husband carry it.  When I actually remember to bring it.

But not anymore!  Because apparently there are chic Rebecca Minkoff camera cases.  I never leave the house without a cute handbag to go with my look, so maybe, just maybe, if my camera were hidden in an RM bag, I’d remember to take it along!

Is it just me or do the fabulous women in that first picture look like a colorful group stepping out of a promo shot for old Sex and the City advertisements?
