Spring Fever

It feels like the first day of Spring today, which got me thinking about the trends this Spring/Summer. As always, so much is in fashion, and fashion moves so fast, that nothing is really out of fashion. But the words on everybodies lips from now until September is 'colour-blocking', and it's cousins Neon and Fruit. The colour of the year is honeysuckle, a reddish bright pink - a major counterpoint to last year's in thing, coral, which is a reddish orange.

Spot the difference.

Prada's gone fruity loopy, and Dior was all 1940s and bright colours. Which means only one woman can step up to the fashion plate as our style icon this season.

Carmen Miranda.

I'm fine with this.
