2012 Marks 60 years of The Queen's reign.  There will be an extended weekend on 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th June the celebrate the Diamond Jubilee.  The Union Jack will be flying high and has been incorporated in marketing and advertising across the country from Harrods branded Union Jack to Tatler's June issue.

 

Then I designed a dress that I want to share with you.  It's a classic shift dress with the slimming effect that incorporates the Union Jack design. What do you think? Use the comment box below to let me know what you think of this design.

The Summer to Colour Block

by Camelle Daley on February 9, 2012

Post image for The Summer to Colour Block
PinExt The Summer to Colour Block
A big trend to look out for this summer and to even try yourself is Colour Blocking!
 
While there may-be snow on the ground today, we have summer and some great colours to look forward to.
 
To colour block you can wear one bright colour or a few. A great idea is to wear colours on opposite ends of the colour wheel, these colours compliment each other. Try clashing:
  • Orange and blue
  • Purple and yellow
  • Green and red
  • Blue and yellow or
  • Green and black
 
Don’t add prints when colour blocking (it can start to look circus like), stick to solid colours with the same intensity. That could be bold on bold or muted on muted.
 
Go for it, play around with colour and have some fun, you never know what you might come up with.
 
Here’s to a great summer!
