I started today in perfect fashion: bacon sandwich, mug of tea and Vogue. Whilst flicking through said magazine it was impossible not to be struck by the sheer amount of bright colours on offer for the coming season. Clearly a huge trend for SS/11, I personally find the rainbow brights a little cartoony – I don’t particularly want to look like a watermelon.
On the one hand the bursts of bold and clashing colours seem to herald in the warmer weather (fingers crossed), but on the other I absolutely loved the minimal, utility dressing in pared down shades this winter. The clean, sharp lines and elegant fabrics are elements I’m definitely going to be clinging onto for a while longer.
It’s not all bad though. A few pieces really stand out, and in one shade in particular: purple. Here’s some of my favourite pieces for the new season.

Clockwise: Gucci, jumpsuit by Dian von Furstenburg, shoes by Charlotte Olympia, bandeau dress by Maz Azria |
The luxury of the fabrics and cleverness of the draping / knotting really does it for me. Add in a flash of gold jewellery and a glowing tan and you’re good to go.
What do you think?
