Trend Alert S/S2012 Edition:Fall in Love with Colour

Bottega Veneta S/S 2012
This time last year we saw the catwalks and the high-street filled with lots of bright and vibrant block coloured pieces that embodied the power to brighten up even the gloomiest of days. So what's the next chapter in our fashion evolution i hear you ask? Think BRIGHT Prints Bold Cuts and of course Bright Shoes!

Marc Jacobs S/S 2012

So you have to make a choice between playing it safe with your current wardrobe which consists of black, black and the occasional white piece or making a statement by investing in the some bold coloured pieces (its a no brainer). I know stepping out your comfort zone isn't easy but thats the exciting part! and trust me you will never look back because lets face it life is so much more fun in colour!
Burberry Prorsum S/S 2012
The days of dressing matchy matchy (it is as it sounds) is a thing of the past (thank God we have realised that there is more to fashion then dressing in one colour from head to toe). Nowadays, when you are dealing with colour I find the best approach is as mixing and matching. Find a print you like and then find another coloured piece that you feel compliments it. Don't be afraid to wear a completley different colour shoe either, cause if you look at the Bottega Veneta image above, you can see how the green shoe creates a great contrast against orange prints on the dress. For some reason it just works!
