When in Doubt, Wear Red...

How to wear a red dress

...and fuschia and green and gold...The late fashion designer Bill Blass knew for glamour (apparently even his schoolbooks were covered with doodles of women on terraces, cocktail and cigarette in hand), so why not take his advice and toss on a frock in the lustiest of hues, and live a little.  While pairing it with a fuschia clutch is pretty much non-negotiable (remember: tomato and magenta were YSL's fave color combination), if the green shoe feels like it might be pushing the color envelope a tad, try nude (our picks: L.A.M.B.'s "Frost" in taupe or the Charles David "Bracelet").  And be sure to pile on piles of the season's shiny bright & brash gold jewelry.

WHERE TO NAB THE LOOK:

Red Stella McCartney bow tie dress Stella McCartney bow-tie dress

Halston "Hanna" suede bag

Pour La Victoire green "Pascale" huarache

the coral Juicy Couture cocktail ring is now sold out, so instead, we recommend the Yves Saint Laurent "Arty Oval" ring

Fuschia clutch green sandals FUN EXTRAS:

Anita Ko diamond-encrusted panther ring

Philippe Audibert gold & crystal bracelet

the Laura Mercier Eye Colour Quad is now sold out, so why not try the Kat Von D True Romance Eyeshadow Palette in "Metal Orchestra"

Chanel Aqualumiere Lipshine SPF 15 in whichever flattering coral-red hue you like best (available at Nordstrom.com)
