Funky Coral

Since we are a season behind the northern hemisphere in terms of seasons, it’s therefore probably apt that the spring 2012 Coral runway trend is hitting us now. This colour is fun and bright, it is hue is feminine with a bit more edge than the traditional pink.

Personally I am mad about this colour; it has been in my closet for a few seasons in varying shades. It suits a lot of skin tones and is even showing up in home décor!

The reason I love it is because it is a happy colour; it brings to mind hot summer days and nights and all that is associated with warmth. I paired it with cream and my heels for a formal business look with my pop of colour.

I'm loving the colour trends of this season, there are colours to suit all tastes. Brights & Bolds, Neons, Pastels...even prints.

So go on and enjoy!

Workwear farewell

These past weeks have been a culmination to Friday 23rd November, my last day at the office for 3months. That's right, 3 months of no work, no finance proposals, no client meetings!
What will I do with myself? I am filled with trepidation, as I think about my job and realise that I absolutely love and enjoy it, and to be without it for 3 months?!
My career has been my purpose for the longest time; separate to being a mum, wife and friend. And so much energy and hard work- what shall I do for stimulation?

Well, I suppose one has to jump in with both feet and give it a go, to really know what a 3 month sabbatical will bring my way. As the saying goes: "If you are brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello".

So I have decided to do a few posts on workwear since I probably won't be wearing them for a while.

Since I work in a formal environment, one always has to look professional. At times I try to bring in a bit of a playful element with an accessory, handbag or a pop of colour. Seen below is one of my more formal looks, where I have paired a structured jacket with a textured pencil skirt.

Here I am wearing:

More look posts will follow as I have more free time.

Ciao for now,
