Blush: This Season's Most Wanted Hue

The Pantone colour of the year might be radiant orchid but pink is having a moment thanks to the oversized pink Carven coat every editor adored. 

Although pink is an ultra feminine colour there are ways to incorporate the popular shade into your everyday wardrobe. My advice? Pick one item, whether it be an accessory, a pair of shoes, or even a nail polish, and let the colour speak for itself without making it the focal point of your outfit to create an effortless chic look.

Charlotte Olympia wants to know: What's your Zodiac Sign?

Kooky, colourful, and creative are the three words that come to mind when I think of the British designer Charlotte Olympia. My fascination began when I first saw her Dolly pumps at The Room at the Bay, those sky high heels, soft suede, and that adorable spiderweb logo on the bottom of each and every sole had me hooked!

Each season I can't wait to see what fun themes shes explored, granted you've seen her recent popcorn handbag and darling film roll clutches, proving the designer knows how to have fun with her collections - which we could all use from time to time! On a recent trip to Net-A-Porter  I spotted some very interesting clutches and knew instantly they were hers: the Cosmic Collection.

Charlotte Olympia wants to know "what's your Zodiac sign?" and wants to help you show it off on your accessories. Every sign has a pair of Birthday Shoes and Zodiac Pandora Clutch Boxes for you to rock all birthday month long. And to top it off each style comes with its own Charlotte Olympia horoscope book to tell you exactly what your accessories say about you.

So, what's your Zodiac Sign?

London Fashion Week: Matthew Williamson Spring 2012 Ready-To-Wear Collection

It appears the Matthew Williamson collection is expanding far beyond the patrons of St Tropez and Nikki Beach. According to the designer himself, “this is a wardrobe for a woman wherever she may be.” – via Style.com

Anja Rubik opened the show walking to Lykke Li’s “I Follow Rivers” and it became apparent very quickly exactly what the collection would look like. The collection was filled with bright patterns, mixes of solids and prints, ostrich feathers, and silk pieces. The colour palette is perfect for the Spring and there is no doubt in my mind that his pieces will be seen everywhere come the warmer months.  

Perfect for traveling and going from day to night, once again Williamson proves himself to be the designer to rule the Spring runway. What works best with the new collection? Williamson picked Charlotte Olympia pumps to complete each look.
