Feelspiration™: It's Like Candy...Red! ❤️

My oh my, how 2017 has flown by! It seems like only yesterday I was celebrating the start of 2017 and we’ve now only got 2.5 months of it left! However, goals are still achievable, much so fashion as well as life ones, and thus I come with an Autumn Feelspiration™ in the form of Caaaandy. Well Candy red to be exact.

With red being de rigueur for AW17, this scintillating shade has a reason for most people to invest, so a fitting Feelspiration™. Candy red is my shade of choice as its vibrancy works particularly well with darker skin tones; perfect to spice up a mellow Autumn afternoon. As my style has developed over the years, I think colour mapping to skintone is one piece of advice that I have stayed true to. I was a full fuchsia junkie when I was younger (very indicative of my excitable nature back then!) with pop colours my partners in fashion play. However, red, whether candy, crimson or rose, strikes the perfect trifecta between elegance, simplicity and…well, pure fire! I would encourage everyone reading this to find their perfect red. It’s the colour of energy and helps boost self-empowerment, which is never a bad thing! More importantly, it evokes passion which is something I truly believe we all should have. So, whether it’s a first date, important presentation or you’re just celebrating positivity changes in your life, there is a perfect red fit out there for it. This article on eBay is a great starter guide on finding the best shade for you but be open to experimenting; everyone is unique!



This drop hem dress was a snap purchase from Primark whilst prepping for what turned out to be an ah-mazing weekend (shout out to Sade, SOAB & SuyaSpot!). I teamed it with thigh high boots (thighs seem to be de rigueur for me right now!) to take the edge of the mini element but I felt so free and, dare I say it, sexy! Funnily enough, I actually bumped into an ex and felt too good to care – gotta love those moments!


Although you can’t buy this dress online, I’ve curated a collection of items which will suit a variety of shapes and sizes. Click, purchase and get your red on!
