Here's hoping...

Maybe it's because all of the old movies/movies set in an earlier decade that I'm watching lately. Maybe it's that I wish I was from a decade in which this was as common as text messaging. Or maybe it's because I adore Anne Hathaway and Scarlett Johansson.

Whatever the reason, I'm nostalgic for statement red lips.

It's such an easy, but gratifying, bold and timeless way to look pulled together. I don't think any other single beauty product can say as much. A woman just looks so much more feminine when she is wearing a strong red lip. I would love nothing more than to see more women adopt this trend. In fact, I wouldn't even call it a trend, it's more an eternal style. I can't even say how much I would love to see statement lips come down the runway next week. Here's hoping. And here are a few images.

Add to this list Miss Venezuela, now Miss Universe who wore red lipstick on the final night, and all photos during the 2 - 3 weeks leading up to the pageant was in the red stick and looking like a throw back to a previous decade!
