Citrus brights the way to go this Spring...

The designers have spoken and fashion has followed. Lets hear it for colour !

Finally an end to the drab colours of winter, Spring is on its way - there was definately sun here in Peterborough yesterday, daffodils are emerging, and its all starting to look a bit more positive in the world, ok our my tiny corner of the world...

Citrus brights are the de rigeur colours for Spring 2009. Thank heavens for that ! I think everyone looks better for a bit of colour, its just a case of working out which colours suit you.

Fashion colours for Spring are eclectic (when aren't they huh !) On the colour front -Vibrant popping electric brights compete with soft sorbet tints. In the red range, warm rose and hot shocking pink are the popular tones While in the aqua spectrum there's deep green, bright green, jade aqua and deep lapis blue. Monochromes so far include slate grey, black, fawn and navy. While the key colours - yellows, tangerine and orange are going to be the biggies this season....

On the jewellery front, bold, chunky and contrasting seemed to be the message from the catwalks, Big rings, stacked bangles and a mixture of colour and texture. Luckily we have the jewellery to fulfill on these fashion dictates. As well as a return to the 80's (those of us who remember them, are not soooo pleased about this particular forage into fashion) and some wicked prints - floral and extreme. There's also a resurgence of the dress, and with contrasting colours, so this is going to be a bright and cheery Spring, heaven knows its long overdue, so lets enjoy it while we can...

Can't wait to see those daffodils emerging !
