Little Grey Dress


Grey somehow has become one of my favourite colours. Not sure how it happened, but one day I have decided to must get couple of grey dresses. And I did. All of them are vintage dresses.

Though grey (just by itself) looks dull but if paired with bright colours, it creates great colour combination. Grey can be as versatile as black. Maybe because black + white = grey?

Tried couple of looks using different colours. I love grey + red combination the most. Whilst working on the dresses, I discovered turquoise-blue looks great with pale grey.

I can't wait till tomorrow as I am looking forward to receiving my order from Vintage Packstocks (besides it is Friday, which means weekend is around the corner) and guess what I have ordered? A grey vest. :-)

Colours of Spring Summer 2010

Colours play a vital role in fashion. It sets the mood, expresses feelings and sends messages across. Pantone has provided their top ten key colours for this spring summer.

The classic warm colours of red (tomato puree), yellow (aurora) and orange (fusion coral) are still popular choice as happy colours to express the sunshine-ness of spring and summer.

When there is the Sun, the next thing comes to mind is beaches. Turquoise and Amparo Blue are just the right colours to represent the memories of beach vacations, the calmness and blueness of the seas.

Violet is the new pink. Just add a touch of violet to set a romantic mood. It is a sweet colour as well.

Pink champagne, tuscany, dried herb and eucalyptus are neutral colours for this season. Pink champagne is the newest neutral and can be the new white. When pairing tomato puree with fusion coral, to soften the combination, add pink champagne.

With some notes of key colours of spring summer 2010, have fun experimenting mixing and matching different colours of this season's palette.
