Better off Red
(from my Wink blog this past Monday. Clearly Katie Holmes has good taste as she knows a chic bag when she sees one. Welcome to the cult of Clare Vivier, Katie.)
This past week, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise were snapped several times entering and exiting The Greenwich Hotel in New York City’s Tribeca neighborhood, which as it happens is home to yours truly—the hood, not the hotel. Of course each time she emerged, the trendsetting Mrs. Cruise was dressed in something super chic, and while the clothes changed considerably—after all, within 36 hours the weather went from balmy to blustery—there was one constant: Clare Vivier’s sumptuous suede messenger bag in a ravishing red—a hue that is not only hot for Fall/Winter, but is particularly festive this time of year.
On this particular chilly afternoon she rocked this covet worthy carryall with a luxe white chunky knit sweater, skinny black jeans, knee high Isabel Marant boots and the number one staple to the stars, chic dark sunglasses. To get this pitch perfect look, start with the the bag which will become your go-to sac, and will add the perfect pop of color to any ensemble. Next, pull on a cozy patterned wool sweater, a sleek skinny black jean and a downtown cool knee high flat boot or one with a wedge. Finish the look with a pair of classic black Ray-Ban Wayfarers. Securing a hot Hollywood actor as arm candy is also strongly suggested. Although that may prove to be a bit of a mission impossible.
