Punchy Pastels

Spring is finally here, and it's time to bring out the lighter shades. Pastels are going to be big this season and I've been searching for some inspiration. 

If you're stuck on how to incorporate these colours into your everyday wear, start by adding a pastel accessory to your outfit like a clutch purse or cute shoes. You could also paint your nails as a pop of pastel and add from there. Just remember if you want to add more than one pastel piece, I would stick to the same colour but maybe a different tone, rather than adding a whole rainbow of colours - unless that's the look you're going for and in that case, go for it and rock it! 

Not only can you experiment with brighter colours in your wardrobe, but also in your hair. Pink and purple do's are what's in right now and I think they can bring femininity to your overall look. 

I just love these girly pastels to bring me out of winter! 

Fashion File: Keira Knightley

I picked up Shop till You Drop magazine which currently features Keira Knightley on the cover and I'm loving her style recently. She has been wearing a lot of feminine styles and lighter colours looking very prim and proper whilst out promoting her new movie. Even when she's out and about grabbing a quick coffee, her style is on point. My favourite look she wore this week to a press conference in New York was a baby blue Prada dress with silver pumps - so chic! Pastels are perfect for Spring which is just around the corner and I know where my style inspiration is coming from! 

Spots & Stripes

Today's look was very spring on top and winter on bottom. Sometimes I like mixing patterns together instead of adding bright colours. Its easy to do when they come from similar colour pallets. 

My scarf I found in a little boutique store when I was in San Francisco and my jacket is from Banana Republic. I wear a lot of peplum tops and this creamy one is from Country Road. My navy leggings are from Suzanne - I love these leggings because they're very thick and comfy, especially with some flat boots. 

This makes for one of my favourite casual looks when it's a tad chilly outdoors. 

Feels like Spring

With the way the weather is going, it may as well be Spring and the bright colours are coming out to match. I love the crisp colour of this silk shirt and definitely brightens up any casual outfit. I teamed this beauty with blue skinny jeans, black flats and sunnies for a casual day of running errands. A bright shirt like this is a classic staple in my wardrobe, as it is so versatile and can be paired with so many colours.
