THE COLOUR DIARIES

DELICIOUS PINK


Remember the days when we were little girls and our biggest dream was to become a princess? And wearing a beautiful pink puffy dress would make us feel like the greatest in the world? Pink symbolises everything that's sweet, dreamy and wonderful, but it also symbolises strength and courage (as you can see in the pictures below!!) So even if you are still a little girl at heart, longing to be a princess, or a mature, independent woman..pink most certainly comes in shades that suit you perfectly..no matter what type you are!

THE CATWALK

Do as Stella McCartney, and wear a hot pink dress with black heels. Simple, yet dramatic and edgy.

Or do as Preen and cover yourself in only hot pink. If you dare.. ;)

But if you don't, why not keep it a little less bold and wear hot pink heels or flats instead, like Stella McCartney? It will lift your outfit a lot, and give it that sexy look we all long for.

Preen definitely has a love for pink this season..do you? Go for it if you think you've got the pink groove in you...

Who said that red and pink together is a fashion faux-pas? Definitely not Tracy Reese. See how the red brings out the shine and vibrance of the gorgeous and girly dress. Don't you just want to run to your closet and play with colours right away?!

THE CELEBRITIES

Eva Mendez looks absolutely stunning in this hot pink dress. It definitely suits her..and it might suit you too...?

Ever since I saw this dress for the first time, I have loved it to bits. It has the perfect girly, hippie feel to it, and I like how Nicole has teamed it with dark heels and a clutch.

I never ever thought that pink and silver looked so fantastic together until I saw this picture of Cameron Diaz. If you have great legs, you most certainly should try out this look..you'll have everyone's eyes on you.

Chloe Sevigny rarely gets it wrong, and the picture above shows what I mean. If you are daring fashionwise like Chloe, team a poofy bright pink dress with dark heels and I chunky gold necklace or bracelet.

I adore this cute Jill Stuart Morning Mist Eve dress! It's a bit like the one by Stella McCartney, and there is so much you can do with a dress like this.

This Mid Thigh Length Bell Skirt from TopShop reminds me a lot of the bottom half of Chloe Sevigney's dress. Absolutely gorgeous!!

Why not try a pair of pink fluoro leggings? Or is it too hipster for you? ;p

THE COLOUR DIARIES

Close your eyes and think of your favourite bright colour. Vision it in your mind. Is it a delicious pink? A zesty orange? Or might it be a bold yellow? No matter what it is you'll be sure to find it on the catwalk this season. And about time, don't you think? The safe colours such as black, white, grey and brown have reigned for quite some time now, and even though all of these can look extremely stunning, it's about time to spice up our wardrobes a bit.

There are so many beautiful, colourful clothes and accessories out there for you girls to go and experiment and have fun with. Just think of Carrie Bradshaw...which colour has she not worn? And hasn't she ALWAYS looked absolutely perfect?! So..I have made it my mission to spread around the word that colour is beautiful, and you'll definitely get the attention you deserve wearing a hot red dress instead of a brown potato bag!

Enjoy, my darlings!

ZESTY ORANGE

You might not think it, but orange is actually super-flattering and much more forgiving than red. So if you love the colour orange on paper, do not hesitate to wear it. Stars like Kirsten Dunst, Eva Mendez and Nicole Richie have all embraced this lovely citrus colour because they know that then they will get noticed, and who doesn't want to be? ;)

THE CATWALK

Wearing an orange coat and a jumper in the same colour looks fantastic (here created by Prada), and is perfect for this fall. Team up with matching gloves and a clutch, and you are ready go.

If you are the type to take fashion risks, and someone who loves to play around with trends, go for a full-on orange effect like Emilio Pucci. If you are able to pull it off, people will turn heads and you just might become someone's new style icon!

Team a dark and dramatic shade of orange with a basic colour like white, black or grey like Matthew Williamson has done. And don't forget a bold accessory, like a necklace, bangle or large earrings, to finish off the outfit!

Orange and gold is a perfect match, in my opinion. And Temperley has made the absolute perfect dress. To create a very dramatic effect with a pale orange, team it with sheer black leggings or tights and gold heels or gladiator sandals.

If you just want to add a little bit of orange into your wardrobe, how about some shoes, a handbag or a hat (as seen in Pollini's collection)? You are then able to look fashionably chic and daring, whithout being worried if you have taken it too much over the top.


THE CELEBRITIES

Chloe Sevigny looks remarkable in this short, bright orange dress!

Recognise this dress? Yes, the gorgeous one from Temperley. Mischa Barton looks so happy and smily wearing it..doesn't it make you want to put on something orange right away?!

Nicole Richie
