Ready for Spring-Summer 2009?

Getting ready to ditch the winter clothes and do a wardrobe spring cleaning?

This season it's all about colours. Bright and bold and even neons. Fuchsia Red, Salmon Rose, Hues of Blue such as Aqua, Lemon Yellow, Vibrant Green and Citron. There are many colours to choose from.


Both high street brands and top end designers have launched or will be launching these vibrant colours in tops, trousers, skirts, dresses - and shoes!

Choose a colour that will best match your skin tone for that wow factor! Tip: do not overdo it and look like Joseph in the Technicolour Dreamcoat. The neutral greys and classic black should never be out of the scene as they balance the brightness of your frock.

Fine, silky and floaty fabrics are the thing to wear this season. Loose flowing pants, light frilly skirts and strappy summer dresses. Accessorize with summer floral handbags made from raffia or sinamay, colourful charm bracelets and bead bubble necklace.

For make-up, it is best to balance pastels on your face rather than brights to match your outfit. pastel coloured eye shadows with natural looking lip wear is very ideal.

Hair? Well, whatever suits you or makes you look and feel good. Whether short or long, layered or one length, straight or curly, it doesn't matter - as long as it is not damaged :)) and you wear a smile with it.


Hope that helps.
