Seeing Red

I've written often about the effect small changes can make in your appearance. And one of my favourite instant upgrades is lip colour. All you need to do is switch it up a bit and you immediately change your look and (sometimes) even your outlook.

Available at any price range, lipsticks, stains or glosses let you explore new trends without racking up any debt.

I'm a big fan of pinks and nudes and have a drawer full of them to prove it. But I'm trying to venture out into new territory and you should too.

Everyone is in a time crunch and because of it, some things fall by the wayside. But you don't have to call a moratorium on style because you are always in a rush. To help simplify things, I'm starting a new series of posts that are short and sweet and will help you inject some more oomph into your wardrobe without taking loads of time.

Today's tip? Embrace the rainbow. 

Want to instantly add a little something extra to an otherwise drab outfit? Add colour. Not a teeny-tiny bit of pastel but a strong and vibrant shade.

Not sure where to start? Here are three easy ways to add it in:

Add a touch of air with a brightly coloured scarf. I've been loving ones like these from J. Crew:

J.Crew Wrap In Dalhia, $75

Embrace your inner starlet and pile on jewels (real or fake) for your daytime look. I love this necklace from Gemma Redux:

Gemma Redux Beth Necklace, $382

What about something you can wear almost everyday without looking like you're repeating the same outfit? It's possible. Buy an amazing jewel-toned coat or bag.

Valentino, Double Handle Patent Leather Bow Bag,

$1295

There. Don't you feel happier already?
