Red is undeniably the hottest color and currently my favorite hue of the season.

And this red coat, wow!  I think she’s pretty hot too.  I found her online last year during ZARA’s end-of-winter discount extravaganza and today she and I went for a spin! Such a classic beauty and statement piece.  She deserved to be shown off so I paired her with a neutral color palette.  I decided to tone down the footwear as well, ha!  HERE is another red•black•white look.  I guess I have a thing.

An urban location was my destination for this shoot (some place WITHOUT SNOW) and we landed on this fun downtown street.  I love going on a wander, exploring to find cool new locations.  Inevitably, you stumble upon interesting, memorable places like we did this day.

I’m not calling this painting done yet.  I think it’s still in progress so here you have another sneak peak.  A lovely weekend to you all!
