Notes to self...

500full-lily-cole
Find and WEAR a bold lip color that goes good with red hair, any ideas?

Experiment with long skirts and get over my fear of wearing high heels. I always think I look a little awkward wearing them, but I love how casual and chic they always look on Rhiannon. I think a clog heel like this might be the place to start.

Find pretty scarfs at the thrift store and learn to tie them like this.

  1. 1. I really think that you could pull of some hardcore Catherine Zeta Jones bright red lipstick. Especially with your red hair!
    2. Everytime I clean I tie my hair up in a scarf just like in those pictures! It makes it more fun.
    3. I'm almost done gathering enough lady clothes for a kitchen photoshoot if you're up for it in the next week or so!

    Oh, and I've been on a clog hunt ever since that post of Rhiannon's! So cute!

  4. i have tried to tie my hair in a scarf like that, but it looked soooo silly! i think i just need longer hair.

    also swedish hassbeens are all over the blogosphere these days it seems ... they're so tempting!

  9. I love my headscarfs. You should do it!

    I read somewhere that yellow toned red lipstick is good for red hair? Not sure if that is true of not.

  12. Maybe a peachy/pink lipshade would make your redhair pop:) I adore that pink maxi with heels... she has effortless style!

  13. oh i think you could do a bright bright red lipstick, it would look beautiful with your hair! and yes i have been getting into high heels and turbans lately too! if you go to the american apparel website under ways to wear it they have a tutorial on how to tie one of their scarves like that and i bet you could just look at that and figure it out for any scarf.

  15. Thanks for commenting! Gosh I am totally in love with your blog...and your Etsy shop too!
    I'm jealous of your red-headedness and completely encourage you to rock the red lips, just make sure that you get a red with warmer tones which should work well with your complexion!

  17. Maybe a rose lipstick shade? And the heels will feel/look less awkward with time! :)

  18. If you want a bold lipstick Lady Danger by MAC is basically the bee's knees, it's bright and shocking but still really, really wearable, and I think it'd look swell with your lovely hair.

  19. Heels that are kind of cone shaped and stacked are really easy to walk in...Blowfish has a pair of criss-cross mary janes that I bought in black and brown, they're so comfortable. I love the scarf idea too. I have so many, but am not really sure to tie them like that. Let us know if you find out:)
