Something blue for Spring

Written by Tania Braukämper.

For those parts of the world now heading gleefully into the warmer months, there’s nothing quite like a few new pops of colour in your wardrobe to help the mood set in. Bright blue hues are definitely amongst the popular spring 2011 colour trends and work brilliantly when colour blocked with other on-trend tones like yellow and orange.

When it comes to bold jewel tones simpler is often better; like a gauzy sheer shirt or minimal shift dress that’s devoid of any print. This one has a simple tulip hem that keeps it interesting.

The addition of solid silver cuffs also works a treat.

This one is from Pixie Market, though you won’t have trouble finding other similar-hued pieces also online.

Some people's wardrobes are about a small selection of pieces that all fit within one aesthetic - Tania Braukamper isn't such a person. With a wardrobe that spans three different rooms, her approach to fashion is a mixture of current-season key pieces mixed with vintage finds she's sourced on innumerous shopping trips around the world's more cultured capitals. Despite a disparate approach to shopping, Tania is adamant that the key to mixing vintage with new season is to stick to key looks and colours that work for oneself. And it's a theory that she works into her writing for Fashionising.com, where she serves as the publication's Editor.
