Pastels, pastels and more pastels...

Hi everyone!

Sorry for not writing last week-end, but it was a busy one...Easter break might be over, but pastels are here to stay and that makes me happy, because they are easy to integrate into any wardrobe.  They will give softness and femininity to an edgy look and pair well with navy, charcoal and black - colors that are generally associated with a classic look.  I have included a few pictures for some inspiration :

My personal favorite is hot pink and navy...It can be simple as in the image above or it can be layered with polka dots or stripes for a more fun, yet classic look.  Also notice how the first two images add an element of neutral into the mix.  The first one with the leopard shoes (yes, leopard print is now considered a neutral) and with the tan bag in the second image.  Still not sure you can pull it off?  Simply integrate the trend by painting your nails in pastel colors...

Here are my pick for this season:
