There are certain items that will always be my Holy Grail. 3 of them happen to fall into this month's colors.
Item 1: The perfect red lipstick. Not too loud, not too opaque, not too shiny, not too orange or blue.
Item 2: The perfect silver hoop earrings. Matte, not shiny. Maybe hand-hammered. Big, but not Sade-sized. (For the record - I adore Sade and want to be her when I grow up. I just don't want those earrings.)
Item 3: A black suede fringed coat. No, I'm not a biker babe or a cowgirl - I just have always wanted one.
And thank you to those who commented and emailed with clothing suggestions. I heard ya and ordered - stay tuned for the outcome.
