You Are My Candy Girl

It might still be snowing, but in between the downpours and freezing temperatures there’s a little feeling of spring in the air.

I can hear birds singing, London Fashion Week is about to demand I start looking at clothing for next winter, and I therefore feel a little bit ready to start thinking about Spring Summer 2010.

There’s some gorgeous girly shades around this season, plus, of course with *shh* Valentines Day approaching that lovely romantic mood comes into season early.

I’m quite keen to crowbar a few candy colours into my wardrobe, maybe just little touches. A pale peach pair of tights, maybe, or a spearmint green cardigan.

I’m thinking colours in their most non colour form. Pinks, blues and greens so pale they’re almost neutrals in their own right. Not a headache inducing indigestion remedy pink.

High Street Candy Floss



These are my favourite high street picks. I’m particularly taken with the new look shoes, feminine and  smart enough for an evening out, but with a nice practical shape and at a price where I won’t mind too much if I step in a big puddle.

So I’ll sit, and I’ll plan, and I’ll scour the charity shops for candy colours, while I wait for the weather to catch up with my fashion urges.

I am very fond of some S/S 10 trends as well. But I am on the same page, I’d rather hunt the charity shops for some pastels that are not so obviously fashionable. Good picks from High Street though!

I can understand why, those shoes are lovely. Love the different textured fabrics too

I LOVE those shoes! And that middle runway dress with the “I’m almost a nightie” look

That Dior dress is stunning! I just realized that I never gravitate towards these colors, but they are so pretty

I definitly am going to try to incorporate some ‘softer’ colours into my wardrobe. I particularly like the Dior selection because the look is so soft, but then those bold red lips add such awesome contrast to the look. I particularly like that the softer palette seems to always offer great textures, like the lace bits and sheer layers, etc..

Those pale colours are very vintage-y as well. Dying with anticipation to come to LFW and take in all that London style!
