Drop Dead Dita

I've seen Dita Von Teese a few times in person and have to say she is just as stunning as she is in the magazines.  She always has red lips and nails, jet black hair, and a great pair of sunnies on.  So, of course recent photos of her in Elle Magazine reflect that exact style, and she even shows us some of her favorite products.  I can't pull of red lips.  Can you?

To Wear Red or Not?

Red lipstick is something I've never been comfortable with. I just can't seem to get used to myself in it. Maybe its the pop of color on my lips, or the constant reapplying, the possible error and feathering? I'm dying to wear red this season, so I've incorporated some red-based shades into my daily routine. It kills me to be uncomfortable with the 1940's style red, that so many of you vintage-loving vixens wear all the time. What's your secret? Any ideas for me on how I can wear it? Any of your favorite shades? In the meantime, here are some photos from In Style Magazine that show their picks for the best reds of the year. Have a great day friends!
