Style Icon: Katharine Hepburn
When you think timeless style who is the first person that comes to mind? For us, one of the first names is Katharine Hepburn. Her innovative, timeless style has been an inspiration to generations of women. As WWII took men to war, in their absence women began to take on men's jobs (think Rosie the Riveter) and their wardrobes. Pants suits, blazers, tailored blouses, and brogues began to be worn by women everywhere. Making this look not only utilitarian, but also fashionable, was Katharine Hepburn. Wearing these pieces effortlessly, Hepburn blazed a trend setting trail that has never gone cold; this timeless look has been carried on by contemporary icons like Alexa Chung who is known for incorporating “boyfriend” styled elements in her attire. Mixed, matched, or worn individually, the key pieces of a menswear wardrobe should be staples of every fashionable woman's wardrobe.

Seeing Red
One of our new obsessions here at VPV is red lipstick. Red lipstick has been the choice of beauty icons past and present—think Marilyn Monroe and Gwen Stefani. This vibrant color, available in a shade that is perfect for you, is a great way to add a bit of glam to your outfit or brighten up a rainy day. Many women shy away from wearing red, thinking it is hard to wear. However, once you find your perfect red, you won’t be able to live without it! The secret to wearing red lipstick is finding the right shade for you. Before buying your new lipstick, evaluate your skin tone. If you have “cool” skin (pink undertones, and you look best in silver) pick a blue based shade of red; if you have “warm” skin (yellow undertones, and you look best in gold) try a warmer shade with an orange base. Don’t be afraid to keep experimenting until you find your perfect red. For a long lasting look try a stain, we like Cover Girl’s Outlast Lipstain in Wild Berry Wink; and for a classic red available in a variety of finishes we love MAC’s Russian Red. The final tip for wearing red lipstick is to keep your other makeup muted – you don’t want to look like a clown! A sweep of simple mascara and light blush and your look is complete.
