I’m not known for my patience. So today, since it wasn’t 100,000 degrees, I decided to flex my fall 2010 muscle.
As you can see from my last several posts, I’m in a black phase again. Enough with the summer whites and brights. I’m over it. And suddenly, I’m really feeling the red lips and nails. That’s a rarity for me. But it’s famous with leopard, black, and gold…think I’ve found my newest uniform.
*WVW=What V Wore
Juicy Couture sunnies, Witchery vest, cheap leopard tube top, BCBG leggings (fall 2010 collection), Tory Burch cuff, Wittner shoes.
On lips: Maybelline Color Sensational Lipcolor in Are You Red-dy (seriously the best red lippie I’ve EVER used).
On nails: OPI Big Apple Red.

Thanks ladies! And thanks for dropping by!
Classic and always perfection. Black, red, leopard — you can’t go wrong. I think I’m definitely going for more red lips and nails this fall. Not that I haven’t been loving my lavender, turquoise, and yellow toes.
Your pumps are so awesome.

Lyddie, thank you! I’ve been loving my summer polishes as well, but by the end of each season, I’m totally ready to move on to the next one.
Hooray for Fall!! I’m so over Summer as well. Luckily for me there’s already quite the chill in the air where I am and I even considered starting my car early this morning to warm it up! I’m loving the new uniform. Your vest is such an amazing piece and the red lip is hot. Wow can you work those shades!! I would say that your Fall 2010 muscles are already jacked and ready to take on the season. xx

Great outfit! I want to invest in some leopard print for the season, but I have yet to find any pieces that I like. I’m definitely feeling the red lips. I think I might invest in some of my own. & your shoes are very similar to my Dolce Vita clogs! Very nice <3

My hubby actually escorted me back to buy a second fury vest (in grey) after I got the black and fell in love. Thankfully, he digs my style, and I dare say, the more outrageous, the better he likes it.
HI V,
Your vest is one of my favorite things in your closet. I understand your impatience with Fall. I was planning on wearing boots this Friday regardless of the weather, heat stroke be damned!

Mademoiselle V! you look fab and nothing like the poodle-killer that featured in my post! See, the Karen Millen shoulder dog was actually not even coordinated with the rest of the outfit. Plus it created the illusion that there was a hairy ball stuck on her shoulders and neck. Your vest is cool and not frizzy. And the rest of your outfit kicks ass.
Love the red lips and toes too!x

Hey you, thanks!
The leggings are fantastic, I have to tell you. They’re thicker than usual, and do have some amazing seaming and a side panel detail that make them look more like super-skinny pants than leggings. I could probably get away with wearing them that way on my skinny days…we shall see.
Yeah, bring on the fall! I think we’re in for another little heatwave next week, then it’s down into the 80s, thank God. So we’re getting there!
