Black, White and Red All Over



Straight from a Dallas fashion exec’s mouth, there is one color this fall that every hot mama needs to have – RED, RED, RED. I’m not saying go out and buy red everything, but red is the IT accent color for the upcoming fall season, especially when paired with black and white. One of my personal favorite indulgences are a pair of leopard print/red patent wedges from Guiseppe Zanotti (available at Saks and Neimans). As animal print is now considered a “neutral,” these shoes will go great with just about any outfit for fall/winter. Whether it’s a touch of red on shoes, or a necklace or even in a detail, red is the color you want to be seen in not seeing as the weather changes (for the better!). I know not every mama can (or wants to) wear sky high wedges, but if you’re up for the challenge, I assure you that you’ll get you’re money’s worth from them this season (and many more to come).

On the “red” note, there is a fairly new organization founded by Bono and Bobby Shriver, called (RED), that helps raise support and awareness for The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. So far, companies such as American Express, GAP, Converse, Emporio Armani, and Motorola all carry their own specialized (PRODUCT) RED. A percentage of each (PRODUCT) RED sold, is given to The Global Fund to aid women and children infected by HIV/AIDS in Africa. It’s not only funky and fashionable, but supports an extremely worthy organization that helps mothers and their children have their chance at survival.

Also, look for our new style section (formerly “KidStyle”) to debut in our October issue. We combined Stuff We Like and KidStyle into one to bring you an even better version of fashion and style finds in the Dallas area. We’ll also be adding a style section to our babyDallas Fall/Winter 2006 issue out in October as well, so if you’re expecting or know someone who is, be sure and take a look!
