Pretty in Pastels.....


Candyhues and a very soft palette of sorbet shades are the newest trend for Spring/Summer 2012!


Ranging from clear cut tailoring to the sweet lacey look, pastels are everywhere this season, and they look great! At New York and London fashion week this year, designers used a wide range of creativity when mixing up their cupcake tones!
While most of us can only dream about wearing these creations, (some day) we can however take some inspiration from them!


I absolutely loved the Louis Vuitton collection! Kate Moss and a carousel, what more do you need!


                                                            Louis Vuitton SS12 




















His collection had some beautiful mint, white and creamy rose shades, offset by some really cool coloured block pointy shoes and some metallic trims! Love it!


Chanel being one of my absolute favourite designers, I always love the collection, but I especially loved this years pearl effect as shown here on the models. Gorgeous!


                                                                 Chanel SS 12











However, pastel trends can also be found all over the high street, and of course our old reliable, Pennies! Pennies have a great range of high waisted pastel skirts and some great tones in shirts too! But If you think that being decked out from head to toe in ice cream shades isnt for you, but you want to stay in Vogue, pennies also have a great range of pastel belts, scarves and pumps hich would look great teamed with a simple pair of jeans and white top! 




If your a bit more adventurous and want to exapnd your pastel range, theres some great shades such as nude, lemon, mint and orange, in tops and jeans in Vero Moda. River Island are stocking some pearl embellished mint and candy colured shirts at the moment which are fab!And they also have a great selection of jeans.




If you love your accessories, Topshop have some gorgeous pastel shades in jewelry at the moment!








Just added in these pastel cats because I thought they were funny! :)
