I love Plum!  

3 comentarios

One of my favourite colors of the season is plum. I haven't checked the pantone colors for autmn winter 08 lately, so I can't remember if it is a color that should be in fashion this season, all I know is it is everywhere in the shops! And I'm so happy about that, it will be really sad to see it go.

In honor of Plum color I am bringing you today a selection of fantastic items I found in that range. Yay!

Gift Guide - Red, Red, Red

Here you have a new gift guide =) This time: red items! Thanks to Beth of bethan009


Gift Guide - Red, Red, Red

I don’t know about your presents-to-buy list, but mine seems to get longer and longer every year – where do you find enough inspiration (not to mention time and money!)?

Sometimes you find the perfect thing straight away, or someone has been determined enough to tell you what they would like, but most of the time this doesn't seem to happen, and with so much out there it is often hard to know where to begin.

That’s the great thing about these gift guides that Gilbea is co-ordinating – someone else does a bit of the work, and hopefully provides a helping hand and a different perspective.

So, here is my contribution: gifts in the colour red, for the people you know who love a bit of brightness.

Hope you liked this gift guide for you or your friends who love red! =)

Spring Trend #3: Crayola Bright Colors  

18 comentarios

This will lighten your spring for sure! After a dark fall, what we needed was some really bright colors in our wardrobe. So here they are! What do the designers say?:


This is a very fun trend! But what if this is too much color for us? What if we mix and match so many colors that it is definitely too much? What if we end up looking like a carrot from head to toe? Well, the tip is to wear one item (dress, top, skirt or trousers) in a fun bright color, and the rest of accessories (shoes, sandals, jewelry, bag) in brown colors (chocolate, cafe au lait, etc)



So, how to be colorful and still wear handmade? After searching through Etsy (this time it really took me a looong time, and most items are vintage!), this is what I found: (click on the image to see full size)

Did you like this trend? Will you be wearing anything like this? As always, love to hear your opinion and ideas!
