A pop of red is just what my closet needed, and my new Illesteva sunnies and YSL bag are the perfect shade. I definitely plan to wear the sunglasses with my bold red Joseph blazer at NYFW, and the bag goes with pretty much everything. Is it obvious I am in a color craze? What hue are you stocking up on?
PS: I started trying out the clip-less curling iron my mom got me for Christmas – thoughts? I’m always trying to do different hairstyles. Any other tips and tricks to get it looking thick and healthy are appreciated!

First off, your hair looks great! I love my clipless iron… It is a game changer. Next, I love this outfit. It is what I gravitate towards in the winter as well. Black base with pattern and color for fun! Love this post. xo
thank you! I definitely will be taking the iron to fashion week to try out some new styles… we’ll see how it goes!
Gorgeous red purse! Love a classic YSL satchel!

thanks Lindsey! It’s my fave new bag of course – love red!
You look lovely! Adorable cape!
I usually go with red or green as my color pops. (not together)
I wish I could pull off green – red is definitely more my color :)
I love the red today! I have the same clip less iron, I’ve found the best tip is to pin the curls up after you curl them until they are completely cooled (or you can hold them up) then let them fall and run your fingers through them. I also use Bumble and Bumble’s styling spray for hold and shine. Your hair looks quite lovely though, so I’d say you’re off to a good start :)
Thanks for the tip Nikki! I’m always having trouble getting curls (and any hairstyle, really) to stay put so I’ll definitely try that next time!
You’re hair looks flawless! So pretty, Merritt!! xx
Those sunnies are awesome and before I read about your new curling iron all I thought was how pretty your hair looks! Great outfit. – Carla
Thanks Carla – hopefully my hair will look better and better as my skills with the curling iron improve :)
Those Red Shades are just perfect! Looking lovely!

Red is such a go-to color, especially on that bag! It’ll be perfection, come Fashion Week! I’m currently loving cobalt and kelly green.
Cobalt is another favorite of mine – great shades!
Oh my goodness those shades are ahhhmaze!
Those sunglasses definitely make a statement. I love them :)
