{ neonspiration }


I'm sure I'll be over by it tomorrow, however today (I'm a bit sheepish to admit) I'm obsessed - like everyone else - with neon. I don't think I will find myself actually buying/ wearing much of it but it does make for great photos! Case in point those satchels at the top.... they're a fluoro twist on the cult bags from the Cambridge Satchel Company and can be personalised with your initials embossed -very cool. Am sure I will start seeing these on the shoulders of many pretty young girls this summer as they'll go well with all those denim cut offs + high buns + stacks of overpriced friendship bands. 

Anyways I'm going to embrace it for this minute, too - so here are a few picks from my recent neon trawl! 

She's fabulous:



So's this:

Hard to choose which image of BEE to include as she is basically most stylish person ever.... but this pom-pom scarf is too good:

Can't resist some colour-dipped coral:

Last but not least... I stumbled across this image a while ago but I really love it, I think it's because it could be a man or woman under there (look again!):

So what's the verdict... yes or no to neon? And how long will the fluoro fad last? I'd love to hear what you think!

{ colour kin }



I've often thought colour looks most fresh next to it's 'kin' - it goes against that whole principle of contrasting or complementing colours to make them pop; however I just love the often unexpected look of similar tones and hues all jumbled up together.

Think yellow with shiny gold, peaches and cream, apple to mint green; I just love how organic this always looks, almost like a big real life, working paint palette. So on that note here are a couple of lovely colour pairings to leave you with for now - I'd love to know what you think!
