Colour Blocking- Spring/Summer Trend 2011

Gucci Spring/Summer 2011 Show

As Spring is slowly being ushered in, the international Fashion Shows have been showcasing a new trend- COLOUR BLOCKING... I have to say Im rather excited about it about, seeing that I want to start experimenting with colour! Hope I pull it off correctly though! And I know it has been blogged to death...but I just had to! So JBXS...hahahaha

Here's a colour wheel to help you not make a rainbow of yourself, yes you just dont mix any and every colour....

1. Colors directly next to each other (i.e. yellow and yellow-orange; yellow and yellow-green; violet and blue-violet, etc.)
2. Colors that form right (90 degree) angles with each other (i.e. yellow and red-orange; blue and violet-red; green and orange, etc.)
3. Colors directly across from each other (i.e. yellow and violet; blue and orange; red and green, etc.)
4. Colors that form a T (i.e. blue, orange, and violet-red; yellow, violet, and red-orange; yellow, blue-green, and red-orange, etc.)
5. Colors that form an X (i.e. blue, orange, violet-red, and yellow, violet, blue-green, and red-orange, etc.)

Because brown is a neutral, it will work with any color on the color wheel. Personally I like to pair chocolate brown with fusia, and cobalt blue , they make super fun bold combo. Other neutrals that go with just about anything.
White, black, and the hues of blue in denim
Gold always makes for great accessorising!

Rihanna pairing orange and fuschia perfectly....
