RED or not?

Like‘Fugees' "Ready or not!" RED cannot hide

Besides wearing red for a cause like the 5th Feb which is the official day for the fight against heart disease in women, http://www.goredforwomen.org, do you know how many times I have gone into my closet and decided to pull out that red dress, or skirt, or blouse or even blazer, yet made it out of my room with a green or blue or yellow dress instead?

Many women and men are wearing red for different reasons http://documentthesilence.wordpress.com/wear-red/ but there is no confusion that red exudes sex appeal. Different red dresses for different times; From the left, Hedi Klum looking stunning in this red gown. The second is a picture of myself enjoying a simple 'House of Imani' piece, then american actress Jessica Biel in another stunning piece accentuating every part of her feminine curves and finally the last is one of my hottest, yet simple pieces for the RED's is this ‘simple- yet-‘everything a woman needs in her closet-onto her body' piece by BB Dakota, http://dakotacollective.com. Keeping it simple is my tip on how to wear red and still exude your femininity and sex appeal without trying too hard.

According to http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/10/081028074323.htmI, red enhances men's attraction to women! So did you ever wonder why the guy you met last month keeps turning his head to look at other women in red lipstick every other minute, while you on the other hand are keeping it nude and simple on gloss!

And while we are busy celebrating this special colour, some players and doing the same in the soccer fields this world cup season!
Well, guess what? While I try to adapt to other red pieces in my wardrobe, I am still yet to wear that red lipstick and red nail polish on fingernails but rather on toe nails which not many may see much of, and suddenly my new fad, red lingerie which I have adapted to slowly based on my man's fantasies!

Red underwear is definitely a bedroom asset; thank God for Victoria's Secret and La Senza. To sum it all up, you will never go wrong with a hot pair of red heels like some of these I came across on www.heels.com through MI Q5; could also be pumps, stilettos, boots or open -toe sandals!

Funny my friend Imran bought me a pair of RED Aladdin pants on his last trip to Hongkong and I have still not put them on. I have tried to pull them out twice though. The first time I put them on and took them right off telling myself that it was too cold to rock those hot red pants. All my excuses for getting around them.... maybe I am still scared!
I don't know how many of you are scared of red but truth is, if you coordinate your red items well, you can make them work for you and not against you. Also please remember that if you mess up on reds, it will really be a big mess like some of the red options below.

Not very sure why Bollywood actress Kangna Ranuat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kangna_Ranaut has her legs way too wide open for her pretty red dress! Ladies, I! think we need to take a crash course of what's sexy and what is trashy!Did you know you can acually sell without selling?

Then we have the hot Spanish actress, Penelope Cruz all dressed up in redon a red carpet literally looking like the red suit is wearing her! I think it's too red from head to toe, and it really does not flatter her beautiful curves and femininity!

Then we have an ensemble by Bella Matata, http://bellamatata.com . Honestly this is so much red that I still don't get. Feel free to send me your comments and tell me tell me where you would wear this to!

A good steal from www.stylehive.com, this chic hand knit from Peru on stylehive.com. This could accentuate your Saturday-laid-back jeans look; from the masaai market, to mum's place for lunch to a movie and possibly to watch a live performance right after. It's an all-day-accessory.

Then this sleek red pair of thin red frame glasses, a red hot franchi clutch and the brass bracelet from www.2ols.com amongst many other ways you can get red without losing it!

If you cannot figure out how to celebrate red in style, at least accesorize!

Yours stylistified,
