Speaking of
inspirational color... I am
losing my mind over this dress from the
Carolina Herrera pre-fall collection...

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. A simple silhouette +blocks of saturated color makes for some seriously swooning. And that little bright blue bow around the waist goes to show how much one little detail can make a huge difference.

This bold color direction is so fun and fresh. I love!!

Even the more classic Herrera looks have a fabulous pop of red
(which, if you haven't noticed, is everywhere, btw, and not just because it's Christmas). I don't know about you, but I'm also dying for those red lips... purely classic.
