Walking along London oxford street or looking at your fashionista inspo insta feed, pink styling is absolutely everywhere this spring season. In fact colourful styling has been a fashion thang for a wee while, as the right s/s shade can go with more colours than you may think. And I for one of course am a huge gigantic fan of all things PiNK. I just adore adding a few new striking pieces into my every day looks this time of year.

Talking of THE LOOK how amazing is this vintage Naomi 90's print (I have a big love for her btw), pairing the bold block pink with a simple white top keeps the look understated and more interesting. The pure fresh white blue tinted retro 70's inspired shades and vintage 60's bag add a flare of sophistication and retro personality. Lastly the sharp leather pointy booties keep the overall mood of the look ultra modern and cool. 

STYLE TIP 1  - Get the hue of your pink (or 70's yellow, blue, orange) absolutely right. Think a lighter softer colour and along the lines of a salmon like pink, or a warm dusty rose. The more charming the shade, the more effortless your entire colourful look will appear (magenta is lovely but way too rich for this particular look).

STYLE TIP 2 -  Make sure the tailoring of the garment is on 100% point. PINK SUITS look super sharp, chic and sexy if the cut is 100% right on women. Off the hanger ready to buy pieces do have the ability to have that crispness, but you do need to try on and shop around. I went for the classic straight leg (that felt utterly flattering and fabulous once worn). 

STYLE TIP 3 - The fabric of your new pink style piece has to be of beautiful quality. I've seen a few on the high street that look absolutely lovely from a distance, but once close up a little disappointing. If your looking for a quick fix fashion throw away bargain hit, those tiny details (see through, poorly stitched, not great buttons) may not matter (and are great for a party girls holiday). But as you know the granny instilled in me (that I've no control of), longs for timeless fashion and longevity in any purchases I make (basically gaining as much wear where possible). As usual I've popped a few fabulous pink trouser options below for you....Enjoy! Let me know your favourite. X

Summer is the season for our sweet hot style to truly flourish. The occasion to paint your toes and get your legs did. A time when were not not supposed to show any skin! (because dying of over heating is not an option). And at thirty three and not being able to do my twice a week running (sprained my ankle, but can go for brisk walks so this is probably an excuse) or being too lazy to drag my yoga mat out, i've secretly been dreading this over exposing the Skin season. I know I'm totally confusing, as one minute I'm talking about us women empowering each other to be body confident and the next speaking of hiding my skin......but I guess we are all human. So not feeling as toned as I like and ageing making my body drop a little (that shi* does actually happen. Ahh!). This sweet Topshop piece I found in Soho, New York came at exactly the right time.

Cut to perfection, beautifully designed with a deep old school button down V scooping neckline. And a ultra soft salmon pink sultry cotton fabric, once worn I immediately felt body confident. Gingham is So timeless and with the right chequered design like this vintage 60's inspired piece, it can never ever go out of fashion. Crazy how one can think because you're slim, you don't get days when nothing fits your body. This pretty frock will skim your body nicely and hopefully make you feel body fabulous inside and out this long hot summer :-) X
