OH ORANGE!





Wearing Theyskens' Theory top, Josh Goot skirt, Nowhere shoes, Le Specs sunglasses, Meadowlark jewellery and Sportsgirl clutch.

... how I love you. It's my favourite for manicures, pedicures, bright lips and summer accessories. 

Orange is just the perfect colour to brighten up your life and bring summer back (especially when you live in Sydney and summer thinks it's winter, or it's completely torn between the two, making one day almost 46 degrees and the next practically freezing!).

The past few seasons have been all about opposites attracting - mixing prints and colours and looking like a walking, talking bag of Skittles. 

I was lucky enough to be invited by the designers of Australian label Ginger & Smart to preview their amazing autumn/winter 2013 collection this morning, and the message for the new season was clear - it's all the about matchy-matchy from here on in.

Want to get on board? Wear one colour or print head to toe, or match your bag to your skirt and your shoes and your nails!

Coming soon: choosing the right makeup for your outfit: part two, how to do the perfect bright lip and more!
