“Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter. Who would think that those branches would turn green again and blossom, but we hope it, we know it. “ -Johann Wolfgang on Goethe

I only became a fan of green a few years ago. I grew up without anything green in my wardrobe as it was my mother’s least favourite colour. Over the years however,  jade and emerald have lured me into becoming their friends, especially after Karl Lagerfeld brought the colour back  into the fashion spotlight through his jade jewelry. The stylish ladies below bring ”it’s chic to be green’ to a whole new level.

The quilted Balenciaga bag aside, that green cardigan is very catchy, but so is her fluffy leather jacket.

I would be laughing too if I carried a Birkin and had her dress! How amazing is the geometric print! Her dress reminds me of the funky label Antik Batik and her sandals reflect the orange lines of her dress beautifully.

love those blue sandals!

OK, her sandals are probably the best feature, but her floral skirt is stunning too. Simple and chic.

So achingly elegant in this emerald silk dress, plus her red lips-a  match made in heaven.

I think Karla (Karla’s Closet) is wearing Animalia Alexander McQueen heels, but it is her turquoise blazer that caught my eye.

Now here is a lady I would love to meet one day – Natalie Massnet, the founder and director of the ultimate online designer destination Net-A-Porter. I love the olive cardigan and Fendi belt her friend is wearing!

cape dress!!

Who would have thought that a frumpy green cardigan with a cape attached to it would be so hip on. Together with those two-toned heels, she looks like she could take on the world!

This post is dedicated to Jo (it’s her favourite colour), who is making me green with envy as she is travelling around Europe.

And it was all Yellow

Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot; others transform a yellow spot into the sun.”- Pablo Picasso

Yellow is such a happy colour. It reminds me of holidays and sunshine. I know everyone’s probably been holidays already this year. So for those who have, here are some pretty pictures to help you reminisce of the good times you’ve had, and for those who haven’t’ been on a vacation, here is what we will be looking forward to:

This leggy blonde with her gorgeous floral dress and embellished gladiators shows us how to do pose like a pro. I love the boats in the background.

This look has the perfect balance between strength and fragility. Love the mustard scarf on Louise. She looks smart and cute.

i like thisNatalie Massnet – owner and director of Net-a-Porter. Don’t you love her gold jacket with bright canary lapels and buttons? The lady next to her is wearing a denim jumpsuit!

Gorgeous Jane  and her yellow brocade pants and THOSE Chanel booties. *sigh*

beige + yellow

I’m sure everyone stopped to admire Karla. What a great dress! Her yellow clutch reminds me of Bottega Veneta.

I’m slowly working my way through the colours of the rainbow :D
