Q-Tips: Red Style Inspiration

With Valentine's Day being around the corner, and with February being Heart Disease Month, I was totally inspired by the color red this week.  Red was my favorite color growing up, and I still find it to be an amazing color to pop any look.  Each of the following pieces could be the standalone moment to any look; be inspired to make your own red moment!

Supremebeing Chute Jacket -  120 euro, http://www.supremebeing.com/
I love the laid back aesthetic of this brand; based in the UK, you can find Supremebeing at many retailers and stockists in the US.  This jacket

The Tie Bar Red velvet tie, $15, http://www.thetiebar.com/
Quality ties for a great price - you really can't beat it!  Velvet ties aren't just for formal occasions; you can wear this with a casual look to add texture, or go literal and spruce up your more formal/dressy look.

Gucci Leather Belt - $325, www.gucci.com (available on www.saks.com)
Nothing stands out like a Gucci belt.  Imagine how much more you would stand out when its red!

Jack Spade, Coca Cola Mouth Tote Bag, $75, http://www.jackspade.com/
This bag isn't totally red, but I love the mouth on this tote; put me in the mind of Valentine's Day.  If you're daring enough to wear red head-to-toe, then you could use this tote to break up the contrasts you would likely have since most reds don't match.

Walk Over Shoes Red Suede Derby, $249, www.walkover.com
Suede oxfords are a must have this season; they're a classic, and this color will give you the attention you want; you can be as casual and plan from ankle upward, but this shoe will totally give you a style moment.
