Spring/Summer 2010 Trend Report: Pastels

Collage1

Pastels are very hot for Spring/Summer 2010! Baby blues,
lilacs, light pinks and pale aquas are all over the runways. (Don’t forget
about our Pantone reports on two beautiful pastels: Pink Champagne and
Eucalyptus!)

The key to this trend is incorporating small amounts of
pastels into your wardrobe. Going overboard on will make you look like you
stepped out of a baby’s boutique! Instead, try adding small amounts of pastels
into your daily outfits, like a pale pink lip, a light bow in your hair or a
pastel pair of sandals. Once you feel comfortable with that, work your way up
to one major pastel piece like a dress or jacket! Pastels look gorgeous with
muted neutrals like tan, gray or cream.

Check out Elie Saab or Chanel's couture collections for some gorgeous inspiration!

    Shoes not bluesOctober 20, 2010There’s something aileernngdy 18th century about these. I love them and want them, but can’t for the life of me think of when or where I’d wear them. Maybe I could just stick them on a shelf and call them objets d’art?
