I love red anything. It's such a vibrant warm colour

Brigadeiro said...

I love red too, especially in Winter, which is probably why red beanies/hats are so great, as they inject happiness (I find red, like canary yellow, to be a happy colour), warmth and colour to an otherwise dreary, (most of the time) black outfit...

detour2mode said...

you look really good with this red hat! it's a pity it doesn't suit me as i tend to be red myself!

AlicePleasance said...

I adore red hats! Though I don't own any...!

muchlove said...

A good splash of red is always good. Now I wish I had a red hat - although I doubt I can pull it off the way you or Kirsten does.

Songy said...

Cute. Nicely matchy matchy.
Accent, conversational piece, cheery .. all the qualities that we may just need for the season.

CHRISELLE said...

coco said...

Kirsten looks really great in that cap. I still haven't watched that film.

penelope said...

Kirsten Dunst and you look so cute!

Brittany Noel said...

I do love red caps! I think part of the attraction goes back to Little Red Riding Hood. There's just something suggestive about a young girl wearing a bright red hood. Red is not an innocent color.

Anthea said...

AHH I waited so long to see Elizabethtown and was sooo disappointed! I love Kiki though..she was in the October issue of Harper's Bazaar. Love it!

Becca said...

Joanne said...

I love red hats, I love anything red in general.

Fashion Therapist said...

The red cap must signify something....but what? You're so right on it!

Sam said...

I don't know what it is with red hats. But I do know one thing. I love it hehe. Just bought a red headband

I think a red beenie can clash well with a whole range of outfits. There lies it's true genius.

I own a red knit cap AND a red hooded coat, so I really identify with this post. Which I found adorably concise.

copperoranges said...

mothersvea said...

lisa said...

Hmm they just brighten up an outfit. You look darling in yours. :-)

oddburd said...

David the Gnome! (I always loved how they would eskimo kiss)
Your red hat is awesome. Red is such a bold color and I love how one little accent of it can make any outfit pop. I'm a big fan of spicing up my outfits with red shoes, too.

Kira Fashion said...

Miss Woo said...

Kvestelser said...

aw...david the gnome. I watched that show when I was little.

I love red hats (esp. knit ones). I'm actually on a "red" kick at the moment.

AMAZING pictures!

In-tree-gue said...

I guess it just works =)

pretty face said...

I was hoping to see you in one.

By the way, you missed Father Christmas! Isn't he like the epitome of red cap wearers?

Also - I hope you are well. I haven't dropped in for a while. x

KD said...

Red (to me) is a rather winter-y color and it suits you very well! Nice post.

Miss Karen said...

Red is such a brilliant colour isn't it? It's like a symbol of vitality. I love all these pictures :D

Penny said...

ohh i love Elizabethtown and The Life Aquatic. such good movies!
i have a little red beret too, it always makes me feel nice when i wear it. maybe it's just the positive effect of the colour red!

Katoushka said...

kirsten dunst looks gorgeous there. Red gives me such a holiday feeling.

Divinity Avenue said...

My friend was wearing a hat like that and I told him he looked like he was from The Life Aquatic.

I always know I made a good buy if I want to wear it the second I get home, if not before!

lacouturiernyc said...

Pratishtha Durga said...

There is something innately warm about red... perhaps a visual reminder of a winter fire! Red hood, red cap, red hat... they all look cute, especially on you :P

Chessie said...

Its known that the color red invokes passion and action, so there you go. Most people are drawn to red because it is such a vibrant color -- me included.

c said...

ah! David the Gnome! i was just thinking about that show today. Red is a good colour for you!

Luxe. said...

Oh god I remember that gnome show! You have taken me back in time! I want the little red riding hood cape in that painting, so cute!

Maeko said...

The Life Aquatic is, hands down, the best movie ever!
