Singapore Sweets

My kick ass mum went to Singapore for a girly shopping weekend with one of her mates from back in Scotland, she had a great time drinking, eating and shopping. She was kind enough to bring me back a couple of surprises from H&M (oh how I do miss you H&M) and China Town. Both presents featuring one of my top colours turquoise blue, see my pressies below. I CANT WAIT TO WEAR THEM. Thanks mum xx

"Singapore has been incredibly well-managed. It was created out of the swamp, with a strong emotional idea: a safe place for mostly Chinese, but accepting other cultures and other races." Nicolas Berggruen



The Coral Colour Trend

In Spring 2013 the vivid colour Coral made a punch on the runway, becoming one of the seasons most playful and flirty colours. It was featured on Carolina Herrera and Diane Von Furstenberg.

Coral = Loyal, creative, gentle, wise love and sensuality

PINK - 1st way to wear the new colour trend - EMBELLISHED

Evident on the SS14 Catwalks the trend to jump ahead of time of is PINK. To avoid over feminising and over pinking add embellishments or over sized jewels to break up the colour tone, as seen in Burberrys SS14 Catwalk show below, featuring killer super model Cara Delevingne.

Burberry Prorsum SS14 Collection featuring pastel tones, feminine shaped and extreme embellishing.

According to Kate Smith from Sensational Colour: 

"Brighter pinks are youthful, fun, and exciting, while vibrant pinks have the same high energy as red; they are sensual and passionate without being too aggressive. Toning down the passion of red with the purity of white results in the softer pinks that are associated with romance and the blush of a young woman’s cheeks. It’s not surprising that when giving or receiving flowers, pink blossoms are a favourite."

To reduce associations to romance and to contrast the femininity with this print i chose a piece with neck beading and detailing, see picture my new item bellow, photos of me wearing my new pink punch will be up soon.

New Handbag - Coral Love

I was totally surprised and delighted to see Sportsgirl new summer handbags that they had to offer, all at always reasonable prices. Like music to my ears. From Block bold colours to chain and buckle detailing they have something to offer anyone this season. My recent purchase was their "Stevie" in electric coral. Totally in love and goes with anything in my wardrobe. See my earlier post for how I contrasted it to my leopard print fettish.
