fashion favorites: red valentino

The F/W 2013 Red Valentino line was inspired by Hansel and Gretel.
I love Red Valentino, and I love fairytales, so this season is basically my dream come true.
Here are my favorite looks from the collection!

I like plaid the most when it's cut on the bias, like it is in the skirt of this coat.  It's so feminine and pretty, and has such a beautiful drape.

such a pretty take on the trenchcoat!

this coat is like a perfectly updated version of something Doris Day would have worn.  I also love that the jackets and coats in this collection have 3/4 or bracelet-length sleeves, it's so flattering to have the wrist showing.

this lemon-yellow is such an unexpected, cheery color for autumn!

I really want a better look at that bag-- I hope it's done by the same illustrator who does the backgrounds for the Red Valentino photos every season, it's such gorgeous work.
Can I just have everything from this collection?  Please?  That's totally a realistic goal.  I'm almost sure of it.  If you're a newer reader, here are my favorite Red Valentino looks from Spring/Summer 2013 and Fall/Winter 2012.  To see the rest of the line, check out Style.com's slideshow

I hope you're having a wonderful weekend!

  1. Such a gorgeous collection, so many pieces I love!

    I think the yellow outfit is one of my favourites, it's a shame yellow really isn't my colour, not that I can afford it anyway!

    1. Oh, affordability, who cares about that? :P Yeah, I will not be purchasing any of the pieces any time soon either... but a girl can dream! I love the yellow outfit, too, I can't wait until the close-up photos are available because I want to see the colorwork on that sweater!

    1. Oh my gosh, the SHOES! They are so pretty... I especially love the ones worn with the plaid coat. And it's true, I'm nothing if not consistent in my love of Red Valentino and all things twirly and floral. ♥
