Pink, Orange & Red (In Any Combination)

One of my best best friends, Cameron, has a super cute blog that recently caused me to fall head over heels for this Loeffler Randall bag (only 1 left on Shopbop!). So, I thought I'd use it as a center piece amongst some of the fabulous pink, orange and red color block pieces I've been drooling over lately! Pair ANY of these 3 colors together and you're bound to look bright & fabulous while making a statement.  As you know, I'm really into bright colors, so these items are ALL on my wish list.

Gettin' Lippy With It

My dad used to make me wash my face off every single morning from a ridiculously young age (I wasn't allowed to wear makeup until I was 14!) because I would waltz out the door with as much makeup as I thought I could get away with. NOPE! He always caught me. ALWAYS. That is until I discovered that he didn't pick up on lipstick as long as I kept it pretty natural. Who knew that a pink lip was less noticeable than bright blue eye shadow?! (;

I LOVE LIPSTICK YOU GUYS! For real. I do. I've truthfully never been a huge fan of gloss.. mostly just because it comes off the second you take a sip of your drink or kiss your man (and is super sticky!). I think the look of a matte, deeply pigmented lip against uber white teeth is the ultimate form of sexy! Simply adding a pop of color to your lips with minimal makeup on the rest of your face can truly make you look like a whole different woman. Experimenting with lipstick colors = CRAYON FUN!

Here are some of my favorite go-to lipsticks when I need a pop of color. I typically gravitate toward bold, bright shades of pink... but I've added a few others that I think are worth checking out.
