You all know that I am a big of Street Chic pictures. These are all taken from Elle Street Chic, The Sartorialist and Garance Dore or your viewing. Those of you who love pink, you will be in or a treat.
I have had an insane week and have only clocked a minimal amount of sleep. I can only say that I cannot wait for Paris Fashion Week! The girl below in the gorgeous baby pink dress with strong shoulders really make me Paris-sick. I think it is because of the one point perspective view of the autumn trees. Her shoes are drop-dead gorgeous too.
I don’t remember the name of this pretty young thing, but her dress has left a lasting impression. I love vintage style dresses. The red belt defines her tiny waist beautifully and those shoes are highly covetable.
Super-stylist Rachel Zoe giving us the cold shoulder in a cashmere cable knit dress. She loves gold, look at all her bling, even her clutch has been giving the bejeweled treatment. I like those clear chairs! Have to remember to pull up your pants when you sit on one of them.
Eclectic in vintage fuchsia, I applaud this darling outfit- only simple and classic accessories required. Go patent leather shoes! What a contrast she is with the people behind her…
Obviously a model with great taste. I cannot get enough of her sleeveless leather biker jacket and those peep-toe boots! She gets extra style brownie points with her zebra clutch and these gold medallion necklace.
My favorite shot- pastel pink ensemble that resembles a jumpsuit. Her apricot leather belt is an elegant and essential divider of her outfit. Love it! You could do this look with denim too.
Carrying a tapestry bag, dressed in fuchsia ruffles, latex leggings and odd-coloured laces. Only the Stange can pull it off.
I have to admit, I don’t wear much pink, but these photos have inspired me to opt for pink next time I am choosing between 2 LBDs.

Spring is here. Flowers are blooming and we should inject some colour into our wardrobes.Here are some gorgeous pieces from various designers from previous seasons for your visual charm. These colorful numbers are all in block colors. I find that wearing colourful clothes brightens my day.
Here is a yellow purple voidle draped dress with a cinch belt by Marc Jacobs. I love the horizontal stripes on the torso and the drapery details around the hips- very flattering cut. I apologize about the Wesley College colours.
What a wonderful trench! This Diane von Furstenberg ‘lab coat’ is tres chic. You could wear it as a dress with some red heels. I love the bow tie. The unusual colour combination actually works!
The perfect summer number for a luncheon with friends. I love this 3 -tone Thread Social silk twill strapless dress. The scalloped edge is very popular this season.
Ok, so this Luella jacket is mainly purple. I had to include this boucle jacket in this post because it is just divine. How gorgeous is the lace inserts and the diagonal zip! I would wear it with indigo skinnies or a white pair of lien shorts. Ingenious design!
Thread Social has a good thing going. Here is a shoulder-tier tank dress in 3 unusual colours. You could just wear it with a pair of bejeweled sandals or dress it up with an embellished belt and fabulous heels.
Marc Jacobs is a master of colours. Here is a Marc by Marc Jacobs Maggie stripe knit jacket. I adore knit jackets because they offer formality without being high-maintenance when packed for trips. I agree that staring at the stripes makes you a little dizzy, perhaps that was the charm Jacobs was trying to achieve.
I have saved the best for last. This is a silk Sonia Rykiel striped silk chiffon dress. I adore the peach and fuchsia combination. It is dressy and sassy enough for any occasion. The colours are ultra-flattering, especially if you add some sparkles. I would spend the entire summer in this frock.
So there you are, dig out your colourful clothes and start wearing them instead of the usual black that we live in! Summer is here!
