pop!


How fabulous is a pop of colour? I love how in the 50s every outfit was accessorised with a slash of scarlet lippy. Whenever I go out at night the last thing I do, even after a spritz of perfume, is apply a red lippy. It's the ultimate finishing touch for me.

Are you a lippy gal?

Do you like a pop of colour?

What's your must-have to feel-fab? Lippy? Perfume? Cute shoes? Do tell.

French word of the day: bouche (boosh) - mouth.

  3. No red for me (am yet to find the best red for my complexion), but do love a great burgundy or dark rose lippy for evenings and a good spritz of perfume.
    Do love that pic.

  4. Will not leave my house without a slash of lippy. My lip-of-choice is a deep pink called "Social Climber" more summer than autumn, clinging to warmth while I can.

  5. The 1950s .... I was young then and remember it well and yes, it was a great time to be female. Lovely clothes, shoes and everything lovely. I've never been one for RED lipstick and now being older I favour a nice pink, but one that you can actually see. Perfume? I splash on 4711 or on special occasions a spray of Chanel No. 5.

    1. Oh Mimsie I LOVE 4711 - such a zingy, fabulous scent. And oh, lucky you to have been young in the 50s and have the memories. Chanel no 5 is one of my classic scents too. Love it.

  6. Could always take or leave clothes, it's accessories for me! Jewellery in particular, but also handbags, shoes, or a lovely scarf and in winter I get to show off my beret collection :)
    Always perfume and I do like bold lippy (never lip gloss), got some great Chanel ones in Paris.
    I'm with Mimsie, Chanel No. 5 for special occasions...and sometimes just because!!
    However, my red bra or my purple undies (never both at once) make me feel very bold...and no one knows...did I share too much ;)
    Great post as always, and fab picture!
