Somewhere between the colors red and burgundy lies one of the hottest color for Fall 2012: oxblood. This deep red hue is showing up on everything from apparel to accessories and is already starting to proliferate our favorite shopping sites. Designers like Marc Jacobs, Phillip Lim, Derek Lam, Alexandre Herchcovitch, and Sophie Theallet embraced this universally flattering color on their fall runways.
