White can be tricky to pull off head to toe so why not team it with this season’s nude. Keep the silhouette simple, adding touches of nude. I love Donna Karan’s draped dresses with a white tailored jacket or Bottega Veneta’s white vest and corset details! Take a look at ‘Breeanne’ below, it has touches of nude embroidery, wear with nude leggings, on or off the shoulder!!
How to wear it:
*mix textures, a stiff cotton jacket will set off a softly draped dress
*wear white over your slimmer parts; nude will flatter the rest
*for accessories think arm cuffs, strong necklaces and perspex bangles
Finish with polished, soft curls, use hot rollers for full on glamour. Shoes are best in muted colours, but go as high as you dare!!

Blue:
Explore fashion’s new obsession with deep blue, in every shade from the hottest lapis to the darkest navy. Ruffles, pleats and embellishment, mixed with bold tribal-inspired jewellery, bring depth, daring and dynamism to springs coolest hue. ‘Parillai’ has the tribal print with the lux of silk, team with toe posts for a great holiday outfit.
How to wear it:
*give luxe pieces a primal edge with a tribal collar
*midnight blue takes on a yet darker allure with the sexiest sky high shoe boots
Finish it with our over the shoulder pouch bag by Mimi Berry in Cloud Blue, or even a scarf tied nonchalantly around your hair to protect it from the hot sun on holiday. (you could add conditioner in the day and hide your hair under the scarf, hey presto beautiful shiny locks at night!!)

Scorching shades of red stormed the catwalks this season, drenching S/S10’s most covetable pieces with hues of vermilion, raspberry and coral. Dive in with bright, clashing accessories and just a touch of contrasting black for a look that’s bold, brilliant and bursting with power!! Have a look at our ‘Gypsy05′ organic cotton maxi dresses that are made in a solar powered factory in downtown LA!!
Lauren Conrad of ‘The Hills’, pictured here, has it in every colour! Want to look like a goddess??? You will in this dress, it’s gorgeous and good to the planet too. (Also available in yellow and shades of grey)
How to wear it:
*romantic ruffles and soft draping jersey add texture
*highlight searing flashes of scarlet with accessories in fun clashing colours or warm with luxe gold
*pair a long dress with a contrasting jacket for simple evening elegance.
Finish with a clash of colour with a sequin clutch (Check out Accessorize for them), add a bold gold tribal collar or cuff!! Bright red lipstick would be too heavy, go for a red lip gloss instead!!

Designers looked to art for their Spring/Summer colour palette. Paul Smith’s pinks and vermilion (orange to you and me), Proenza Schouler’s colbalts and greens, Viktor & Rolf and Andrew Gnu rocked yellow and Diane von Furstenberg rocked them all together!
Check out our brights such as ‘Yessie’ in orange and brown check. (Yessie can also be worn as a skirt with a white vest, hey presto two looks in one, and less luggage!!!) Checks are big too this season.
How to wear Brights:
*mix it up – Don’t be afraid to pair brights with busy brocades and rich textures.
*don’t go matchy-matchy – try coral shoes with an emerald dress, a la Lanvin.
*smile!!! these eye-popping hues are mood elevators!! (we could all do with a bit of that!)
Team with peacockish jewellery with clusters of coloured stones. Check out our ‘Eelskin’ clutch in bright colours
