I do love a combo of red white and black. It's something I rarely wear, but I do enjoy it. Lately I've been wearing a fair bit of red and black. It seems particularly glamorous and striking in the Australian Spring Time heat.

The lifelike-ness of vintage illustrations is so much of their appeal for me.<br /><br />Interestingly, Penticton got its first snowfall yesterday, but we were already in Van (we left on Sunday), so we missed seeing it in person (and there isn't snow here yet). No worries though, there will be plenty more to come in the next few months - that's a given in this country! :)<br /><br />Big hugs & joyful start of winter wishes, my beautiful friend!<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-77270390247794714882015-11-24T12:11:23.766-08:002015-11-24T12:11:23.766-08:00Hi sweet dear, thank you very much for your lovely...Hi sweet dear, thank you very much for your lovely comment.

I'm sorry that red isn't a huge you've had a lot of luck with. Have you played around with berry, garnet, burgundy and maroon hues?

From the length to the hues to the very shapes of the nails themselves, they're firm favourites of mine as well (did you see my post back in 2013 on the history of Cutex nail polish? http://www.chronicallyvintage.com/2013/05/adventures-in-vintage-advertising-cutex.html).
