Don't spill the ... RED!


A little while ago I looked at a post from Samantha of the blog "Everything I Heart" on the colour red. Go and look at it here!

The funny thing is that I was doing some magazine shopping this weekend and all I saw was RED!

The new Elle magazine has free nail polishes in 4 new, fresh colours... I took the RED one and yes, my nails are already doing some product testing - so far, so good. They are Woolies polishes and are so cute and bright! But, take a look at the cover itself ... all the new, fresh faces are dressed in the finest RED!

Then I was searching for the latest Ideas mag and unfortunately the shop I normally get it from did not have anymore. Too popular. Due to that reason I found myself cradling a new(to me) magazine called "Home". Take a look at the cover... Notice anything, besides the cool tin lampshades ... RED!

Inside this magazine is an amazing article featuring a house in the Free State which I shall blog a little later. This article is also packed with RED!

Now, I am a nautical fan and so RED is right in my decorcabulary(it is so a real word). Take a look at some of this trend... All images courtesy of www.thelennoxx.com. Not much RED but the theme is what counts.
Love the blue ship wallpaper above the desk!
My favourite item in this is the driftwood mirror.
So simple which in turn makes my heart skip a beat! 
This is an interesting look as it is vintage sailor. So classic.
I could live in this room with my best friend whilst on holiday in Greece. Tell me you don't picture that too! Love the map wallpaper! 
The screen divider is so sweet and is purchasable on the following website : www.oceanstyles.com
The RED trend doesn't end in decor and nail polish... have a look at the fashion!
I love the bows! From www.shoeperwoman.com

RED is also used a lot as a campaign colour... Go and support the {RED} by GAP.

A thing about RED is that not everyone loves all of it... Have a look at some of the shades of RED and make a choice to use one soon!
