I’ve been drifting away from my comfortable, vivid neutrals and crawling slowly towards the bright bug-zapper that is pastel.

Lavender has always been one of my absolute favorite colors. It’s gorgeous in almost every form, and looks amazing with almost every color – seriously. Right now, I love super-super pale shades with really luxurious fabrics like suede and chiffon.

I’m also in a deep love affair with mint. It’s not quite blue, it’s not quite green, but it’s also not teal, and not turquoise. It’s just clean, and sweet, and gorgeous.

Buttercup is warmer and paler than your typical lemon color, and feels cozy no matter what the shape. Bonus: it girly-fies any super-tough stuff you’re wearing.
So, what do you think of this kind of palette? Am I crazy? Moreover, if I did get an opportunity to rock pastels in such a bold manner – what would that look like? How would you wear pastels?

White was everywhere last autumn as the spring collections came down the runway. From influential new designers like Alexander Wang (whose collection I am moderately obsessed with) to super-edgy designers like Rick Owens and Ann Demeulemeester to classic luxury designers like Bottega Veneta, Chloe and Thakoon – every was basking in the brightest of whites.
While, one one hand, I am utterly excited about such a shift in shading preference, one the other hand, white is scary! It can get dirty, and it reflects light, adding water can cause decades of psychiatric sessions… It’s just a scary color.
That being said, my fear will not stop me from considering it. I love the way that white was played with for spring, my favorite aspect being the versatility of each piece. While white is a scary, bright, look-at-me color – I have to remember that it’s also a neutral. Of course it’s versatile! I have a feeling, though, that if I were to run around town in that Chloe dress, I’d have a Savannah accent by the end of the day.
Being that I have little to no experience with white (I had a hobo purse once, it was covered in pen ink and coffee by the end of the week. Ah, youth.), I stuck away to the Vogue Spring/Summer 2011 archives for some inspiration. Below are my favorite style strategies...
