The other day on my way to work I saw a woman dressed completely in tight-fitting black, wearing a pair of red Crocs! It could have been you. If you were a ninja.

It is, *of course*, the BEST colour, and goes with EVERYTHING.

It's funny- I seldom wear red, but big ticket items tend to end up that color- car,cell,laptop and camera. I wonder what that means.
I also wonder why that has never occurred to me before.

Love this blog!

I was just thinking that really nothing in my life is red (I trend towards blues, greens and grays) and that I could probably use more red in my life, when in walks my boyfriend with a bright red box of Tagalong Girl Scout Cookies (for those uninitiated into the world of a GS Cookie, Tagalongs are a butter cookie topped with the sugary-goodness of a peanut butter dollop and then coated in silky chocolate.)

I did need more red in my life. This post was an omen.

For most of my life I avoided red. Too powerful, too...something. I felt if I wore red it would look too sexual and cocky.

In the last 3-4 years I have been drawn towards red, like moth to a flame, and now I love it. I see it as the color of love, romance, Christmas and I too like mine dark and deep. No orange to it.

My favorite color is still pink, with aqua a close second. I still wear a lot of black. But I own plenty of red clothing, shoes and accessories. (note my badass red patent leather red heels)

Have a happy weekend!
Love,
Lola

RED! I love red... my phone, my wallet, many pairs of shoes, and purses. Red is amazing.

The "red" I am most proud of though is my wedding dress... it was a non-traditional wedding (really, just a cocktail party where we got married) but it was still a wedding dress and it was still a RED wedding dress. I was told I would regret that, but 7+ years later I am more giddy about it every time it comes to mind.

Never had a chance to wear red, given that my hair is red too. I feel deprived now.

I don't do memes (which I think you already know?) but I liked this one because I'm a red FREAK! Have it all over my l.r. and bedroom. That top was cool.

Lovin' the red.

Shouldn't you be seeing your MOTHER in the mirror? Your grandmother would be delighted that we both see her!!

Hey hey, not all kiwi land dwellers wear crocs ;) Not a pair to be seen in our house!

That is an awesome bunch of red. And I love that you think my red suitcase is "sensual and exotic"! ;-)

I think I'm going to start calling my cooler a "chilly bin". It's way cooler than, um, "cooler".

I'm too lazy to photograph all the red in my life. Red is my favorite color (but, oh I do love purple too). I take my reds deep and dark like cranberries. Not geranium red. Not tomato red.

I have a red sofa and a red-walled room. I have a red spread on my queen-sized bed. I have a red dishpan and a zippy red purse. When I wore my red Columbia ski parka in Paris, I was easy to spot in a crowd. I have many red scarves but I no longer have red shoes. There's a pair of ruby glass salt and pepper shakers on my table that were given to me by first boyfriend's mother when I was only 15. Garnet is my birthstone and I have dark red hair. I also have red blood. Go figure.
