Husband walks in and glances at this post as I'm writing it...
Husband: "You're doing a post on the color red?"
Me: "Well, actually it's called oxblood...but yes."
Husband: "Well it IS a shade of red. But I'm no color expert."
Me: "Yeah...okay. But it's called oxblood..."
Husband: "Kinda morbid if you ask me. I'd just call it red and be done with it."
So whether you call it oxblood, maroon, dark red, or just plain red...this shade is a serious MUST for fall. It's richness makes it almost a perfect substitute for standard black.
If you haven't already, you'll start seeing this color overtaking the racks at your favorite store!
So are you going to be sportin' this shade of "red" this fall? :)

hahah love it. i guess oxblood does sound a wee morbid. but hey, to each his own. love the color. and those leather shorts? yeah. i love those, too.
Looks a lot like Aigner, old school. I have a vintage Aigner, probably 40 years old, might have to pull that out of hiding.
Love that bag!
I love this color! I am hoping to add some oxblood pieces to my fall wardrobe.
Loving those booties you just purchased!

Omg love oxblood and love the pieces you posted about. :D I can imagine how lovely the accessories would look with a nice fitted carmel coat for fall. *Swoon *
@ everyone - Ha! So happy to know that I'm not alone in my obsession for this color. I don't want summer to go away at all...but I can't help but want to buy everything I find in this hue :)
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment ladies!! xo

The boyfriend tells me that men can only see a limited number of colors. they see in basic colors and that's about it. Something can be blue or green...but not teal.

Haha, I call in wine red! :D I love this colour and H&M has a few pretty pieces in this colour that I must go back for :) x
Perfect for Mississippi State fans!! :) Love it!
Ha ha, that sounds like a conversation I would have with my Man! I LOVE oxblood for Fall (although I was calling it burgundy, but oxblood sounds so much cooler)! Really love those shorts! I definitely need to go shopping for this colour asap! :)

How funny, the leather couch I just got is this color! A pair of riding boots in this shade would be amazing.

I love this color for Fall! I just bought some suede wedges and I'm on the hunt for a perfect pair of skinnies!
I love the jewel tones of fall, and burgundy is definitely on my wish list for fall wardrobe additions. Calling it "oxblood" definitely gives it a grown up vibe! So fun

You bought those H&M Booties!!! I was drooling over them a few days ago but did not give in. Can't wait to see how you style them up, and then I'll kick myself for not getting them. ;)

Such a great color! I just dyed my hair a deep auburn so I think this color would work really well for me! Thanks for the inspiration! And Lol about your husband!
not liking "oxblood either", gotta side with hubby on that one....."deep scarlett" maybe? Nice color though!
Just cleaned up some drool after looking at that bag...an YES I do plan on wearing this color. I love it! Hope to find it in a lipstick!
Wow this is a gorgeous color! The name is kinda off-putting but I do like how rich it is. And wow when did you revamp your blog?? It looks great girl!! =)

I love the trend of oxblood for fall. But, it does make me sort of smile as last year I swear the same color was called burgundy!
Ha! Oxblood really is a morbid name for a color, especially one that pretty.
I am definitely stocking up on this for fall, though... and I think I'm going to stick with calling it wine :)
I'm currently on the hunt for a wine-colored tailored blazer. Perfect with riding boots and dark denim!
