Jewel Tones

August 31st, 2011



Last fall, I really embraced dark, moody colors (as seen here). They seemed to encapsulate the cold weather and short days, but this year, I’m gravitating towards the exact opposite: blindingly bright jewel tones. Whether painted on your nails or worn across your shoulder, it’s a great way to insert a little color into a season otherwise filled with neutrals.

1. Reiss Silk Button Up Shirt $210
2. Topshop Green Animal Print Playsuit $100
3. Asos Zip Base Handheld Bag $54.89
4. Topshop Royal Blue Silk Shorts $76
5. Steve Madden Traisie $89.95
6. Deborah Lippmann Across the Universe Polish $18
7. J.Crew Blackwatch Plaid Wool Blazer $230
8. Phillip Lim Pleated Wool-blend Mini Skirt $375
9. Disel Silicone Strap Round Watch $100
10. Forever 21 Woven Trimmed Leatherette Handbag $16.80

    I LOVE how bright these colors are for fall—I’m just hoping we see it on actual people instead of just in lookbooks and campaigns.

    You should add some burgundy red and electric blue to the collection as well but I’m sure we will see outfits with those colors coming up at your blog :)
