Red and Blue.

I was going to do a post all about the color red in honor of Valentine's Day and all the red gowns we saw at the SAG Awards, but I decided to incorporate another color: blue!  I love the combination of red and blue, particularly a pale, almost grey blue with a orange-y red.  I reserve the standard red and blue for the 4th of July.  Below gaze upon some images conveying the many ways in which you can combine these two colors!  

Love Sofia, love this movie, and love this dress!  This is the shade of blue I like to see with a red.

My younger brother picked out this scarf as a Christmas present from the Hermes store in Dallas.  Exquisite.

Leontine Linens.  They have the most beautiful monograms.

If you only want a touch of red, this nail polish by Essie is a great choice.  Its called Lollipop and its a bright red that looks good on everyone.
