I know that Valentine's Day is right around the corner, but I'm going to slowly back away from the reds and fuchsias... and into the arms of my new favorite hue of romance, champagne. It's sweet, subtle, and can make even a masculine blazer seem delicate. I'm down with all sorts of champagne too — extra dry, rosé, peach (my personal favorite), strawberry... then again, I'll drink anything as long as it's bubbly, sweet, and comes in a pretty flute.
Champagne hues work as a neutral (think an effervescent, shimmery version of camel or tan) or add a touch of metallic allure to an ensemble. Dresses and embellished underpinnings are the obvious go-tos for the shade, but I'm also loving the look of champagne with more androgynous jackets and frilly little extras, such as these J. Crew pouchettes available here and here. The best part? These purses are still big enough for you to tuck in a teeny flask of Peach Passion André for when the going gets tough, or when you get thirsty in between meetings. Or bored. Or when you figure that because champagne is a French word, it's perfectly appropriate to sneak sips during your French class. Raise your glass!

I saw bubbly and came running hahaha ;) Champagne hues are my fave...for dressing and drinking!
ohhh what a sweet post! i love all the colors of the dresses and i can't ever resist a glass of bubbly! :)
I love this! I really think wedding dresses should also be champagne instead of white. It's just so much easier on the eyes.
Love everything, as pink is my favorite color. Nice blog btw. Greetings from Germany!

omg omg omg. Peach Passion Andre and I had a relationship in college. Not really, but that comment just made me smile. I love champagne (the color and the drink!) so so much. One of my most hilarious French classes involved drinking champagne on the WORST hangover I ever had in college during my study-abroad. Not proud, but the drinking during French class made me laugh. And now I sound like a total lush ;) haha. much love, my dear! xoxo {av}
