Orange and Blue

Okay, I'm back! I am so sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. Even though I am playing catch-up with the A/W 2011 shows from New York, London and now Milan, I still keep in mind that the S/S 2011 season is just around the corner. One of my favourite colour combinations for the warmer season is as seen in this photo: orange and electric blue. I am thinking of finding an orange, Halston-style maxi dress and teaming it with blue nail polish and huge blue rings. Or maybe an electric blue blazer combined with an orange clutch.

Which colour combinations do you like?

Check back later today because I will be launching a post that will be happening every Saturday from now on!

natalie's french affair

In a few weeks a dear friend of mine is moving to Paris to study le fashion. Me, jealous? Of course! Ahh, how I wish she could just pack me in her suitcase and take me with her. Because she is leaving, a big bunch of us are throwing her a going-away party and guess what the theme is? France! I know, I know..we're super inventive. All the food and drink will be french, pictures of the Eiffel-tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre etc. will be put on the walls and everyone have to dress in one (or more) colour(s) of the French flag.

As I love wearing blue, white and red, I have a very hard time deciding which colour to wear. Searching for some inspiration, I discovered that while at the Cannes Festival, Natalie Portman was seen in a blue Lanvin dress, a white Givenchy dress and a red Lanvin dress. A lucky coincidence? I don't think so. I love the thought put into this, creating a fun completeness and making the French probably adore her even more!

Maybe I should do a Natalie and go for 3 different dresses in all the colours? Though that might be taking it too far and make me seem like a diva when the going-away party is just in one evening, and not three.
