"the mean reds"

"You know those days when you get the mean reds" (Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's)
January seems to engulf everyone in these mean reds. However I'm not just talking about emotions; in 2012 fashion has embraced, burgundy, scarlett and maroon to shape both the catwalks and red carpets colour pallet.
Sunday saw the Golden Globes dominate our magazines and tv for the next week with endless images of the best and worst dressed. My best dressed - Emma Stone (in Lanvin), my worst dressed - Kelly Osbourne (in Zac Posen).
Now that it is the middle of January it is safe to say that you can get away with wearing red without looking like Santa.
I have selected a few red items from Asos below and also some dresses from the Spring/Summer2012 runway.
The beauty department is also loving the claret colour this season with deep reds on the lips and nails.  So stock up on the deep wines and Revlon's reds for nails and lips that will go with every outfit! (unless its bright fuschia.. if it is.. stop wearing bright fuschia).  Models Own have some great red nail varnishes, and Chanel's deep lip colours are perfect for the sultry look.
