Burn Baby, Burn

We Aries like to stand out in a crowd, and since fire is our element of choice, what better style-spiration could we get?

The superhero trend is huge this summer (Loki is totally my summer crush), so showing your comic book nerd pride has never been cooler. Pairing a tshirt with a pair of stand-out patterned pants or coloured denim (sorry kids, leggings don't qualify) brings the outfit to a whole other level, and you can never go wrong with a pair of Jeffery Campbell Litas. Top it all off with a pair of too-cool-for-school Aviator shades, some bright nail polish and you're set. Don't bother with doing your hair, because the wilder it looks the better!

Even the red-carpet is feeling the heat with red being a hot hot hot colour that never really goes out of style. Dripping in gold sequins and studs is all the rage in lines like Balmain and Versace, who are never too shy to go bold. I have a feeling gold jewelry is coming back, since we're seeing more and more lines turn to it as a softer counterpoint to the extremes of black and silver punk-esque studs/spikes that were seen at Burberry last fall. And of course we have Prada's classic-car inspired shoes that feature flames of every colour. They might be a bit too hot to handle for some, but I'm sure my feet could handle the attention ;)

You Want Fireworks? I'll Show You Fireworks!

Some people say I have a temper. I’ve always said that I have a low-bullshit tolerance, and when that fails to convince people, I blame it on being born a typical fiery Aries. We Aries are dynamic characters; we’re the ones who will start the fires, whether it’s the destructive kind that burn down relationships or the kindling sparks of inspiration behind a brilliant project. I tend to try to channel my fires for good, but occasionally someone gets in my way, and they have to be dealt with accordingly. Like forest fires, my wrath can start with a single spark, and a single comment. The flames may lie waiting as simmering embers for years before I let the flames rage to consume everything in my path, even after you think that the forest has been saved. When we’re wronged we tend not to forgive easily, and like some forest fires, it’s better just to let us burn ourselves out or risk unforeseen collateral damage. Back away from the flames, roast some marshmallows, and let us run our course. You can’t truly control us, but sometimes we’ll decide to keep the fire to a single flame instead of an inferno. After all, the flickering lights and danger of the flame is what keeps the moths coming back for more.

*In no way do I condone actual arson. Destroy emotionally, not physically. It lasts longer!
