I'm obsessed with baby blue and oxblood red for February: two shades that feel like the perfect transition from winter to spring, but with enough depth to carry straight into summer. The vibe? Think Melrose Place circa 2000, but make it a little more polished, a little more intentional. There’s something about this dreamy baby blue—maybe it’s Sabrina Carpenter’s Vogue cover, maybe it’s the way it pairs so effortlessly with light-wash denim, buttery leather, and silver hardware—that just feels fresh. You can go high contrast with black leather leggings and python accessories, or, if you’re in the mood for a statement, lean into the monochrome moment à la Prada and Chloé.

Then there’s oxblood, the shade that comes in like a plot twist: deep, moody, and just dramatic enough to keep things interesting. Swipe it onto lips and nails, let it pop through in your accessories (a structured clutch, a killer pair of slingbacks), or go full commitment with a silk slip dress and a glass of Nebbiolo in hand. And for hardware? Keep it silver. It adds just the right amount of edge, balancing the softness of baby blue and the intensity of oxblood.

This is how you do February: cool, a little sultry, and effortlessly transitional.
