Red is the New Black!

Out with the Blacks, In with the Reds!!
It's official! Red is now the new black!
With an abundance of Red bags being sent down the runway for Spring-Summer 2007 and Cruise/Resort Collections 2007 -- the Red trend doesn't just stop at bags!

From super-red lipstick and red talons, to Red shoes -- never in my life have I seen so many red shoes (think Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz) being produced!! But..since this blog is about bags let's not digress.
For Winter, when wearing an all-black outfit, whether it be a Red 'B' Belt, or a Red Bag, or even Red Shoes, Red is the perfect accent piece!!

Continuing the Red trend, this Spring/Summer, designers have made an abundance of red bags, be it in leather, animal print, patent, satin or suede or a combination of 2 materials such as Red patent with canvas, Red with straw, .... the list goes on and it has been getting longer since Winter, where Red was introduced as THE new colour.

Here's what I mean..

Red Patent and Raffia Tote by Dolce & Gabanna -- perfect for the beach!!

From Dior's latest colleection -- the Cannage Medium Drawstring Bag with "D" charm


Cynthia Rowley's Marla Dome Satchel with detachable shoulder strap

Marc by Marc Jacobs Animal Print Hobo in Passionfruit -- perfect for adding that funky feel to your wardrobe!

And Lastly, As you readers might have noticed by now, I'm an ultimate Fendi Freak!! So here it is! ;)

Hmm with anything Red being 'In' right now (red lips, red nails, red accessories...) perhaps we are approaching an era where there's going to be a Revival of the New-Age Femme Fatale?!?
What do YOU think?! ;) *wink*
