Labels: Colour Palette, Pastel, S/S11, TrendIt's March.. Hurrah! Which means, spring has just about sprung. Which means summer is on it's way.. meaning S/S collections to drool over. With collections this summer focusing mainly on the palette of tangerines and flamingo pinks, we can ease in with yummy minty green, and ultra-feminie parma-violet shades. From Fendi to Stella McCartney, pastels are everywhere (it's not a bad thing).(Image from LOOK)
Here are a few of my favourite items within the palette;(If you want to know where anythings from let me know, i didn't put the links on because they're are about 1000!)
Colour Palette: Pastels
I got a bit carried away with the whole pastels thing, so went shopping.. (sorry for the awful pictures, it's dark in my room!)
Pink Trousers - £29.99 - Zara (same as above left)Cameo ring - £2 - PrimarkPeter pan collar top - £10 (was £26.99) - River IslandNail polishes - Set of 6 - 99p - eBayI love the whole colour palette - it's so yummy and feminine. To harden it up a little, add a leather or acid wash denim gilet - you can't go wrong really.
Currently listening to:Hey, soul sister - Train Hello! Sorry it's been a week. How've you all been? I've had a pretty good week - got my AS exam papers issued. To anyone whos doing graphics, photography or art, HOW SHIT ARE THE QUESTIONS?! I don't know what I'm going to do.. if i fail.. I'm blaming it on dull questions. Also - there was a huge Topshop sale. It's fair to say I went a little bit crazy after going to Starbucks on Friday. I didn't even know there was a mid-season sale! I guess it's that awkward time between winter and spring. Remember my previous post about Peter Pan collars, and how all my favourites were from Topshop? ALL 4 OF MY FAVOURITES WERE ON SALE! I meant to post about them today, but the weather is so bad at the moment I thought i'd wait for a better time and get some with a bit better lighting! Anyway, with it being that awkward time between seasons, it means all of the new collection for S/S2011 is being previewed! I managed to get these pictures from Look, and you won't believe where they're all from! I couldn't, anyway..
What do you think? I love the 2-in-1 chiffon dress, and the american star jumper just above. It's so similar to Tee and Cake's version from Topshop for £30, which i've been lusting after for a while. Ooh, also the camel and floral 50s style collar dresses, and at £15 each.. I might buy both. It's Primark's S/S 2011 collection, and I absolutely love it. What're your favourites? I do have to say though - Primark's prices are going up each collection, but I guess it's still cheaper than buying things from River Island or Topshop. I promise I'll be posting again soonLove,Ruth xo
