Neon Rainbow

Anyone who knows, knows that Jil Sander changed the landscape of fashion for the better and brighter with their stand out day glow collection this Spring. Simple cuts in electric hues suddenly felt fresh again, and the term 'colour blocking' became part of our everyday vernacular overnight. Here are a few of my favourite cheery picks for a burst of brightness into your wardrobe and life!

Jil Sander menswear SS11

Tom Binns necklace of dreams, £2000 approx

Katy Perry with flourescent yellow nails and cobalt wig

Purple grid wedges £190 Kurt Geiger

Neon satchels at Cambridge Satchel Company £98

Welcome to Emerald City

Jewel tones have been featuring heavily in our winter wardrobes for the past few years. This season sees bottle green embellishment as a repeated theme. To my mind nothing quite says glamour like a shade of kryptonite. The A/W 09-10 Valentino campaign features maribou feathers in a deep sea green with bare legs, pale skin and killer heels. The scraped back hair and burgundy lips scream Hollywood glamour. Following the Bal-mania that took the fashion world by storm ealier this year, I still have not recovered from the incredible green mini dress worn by the Jennifer Connelly at the 'He's Just not that Into You' premiere. Sienna Miller then exhibited a Twenty8Twelve backless version from her own collection.

See below how emerald embellishment have hit the high street.
