Blush, pink & pastels, pastels, pastels!
July 21, 2010 | Filed Under La mode
I love winter. I love cool winter days coupled with the nice, often too warm sunshine. It’s like winter and I were meant to be together. I love the fashion and I love that I don’t have to see someone’s ass hanging out of their too short shorts or someone’s boobs bursting out of their too low shirt or even worse thongs (not those kinds of thongs, haha) on every second person on the street. Winter does however bring more people wearing tights as pants but I can forgive that in winter.
I usually don’t even need an electric blanket in winter and I didn’t own any thermal wear at all until this winter. It has been the coldest winter I have ever experienced… I don’t know what happened! All of a sudden it turned super chilly and I needed to wear multiple layers of clothing just to be indoors. The most I’ve had on –and I’m really not joking here– are five tops, two pants and three socks. I can’t believe I’m going to say this but I miss the warmer weather! I want spring to come!
I looked at my recent liked posts on Bloglovin’ and I saw that there was a common trend. Light airy tops in blush and pink, worn with optional bare legs. I think blush/pink works really well with brown and especially well with tanned skin. So those are my on my checklist for summer. Pink, blush, nice tan.
It’s of course freezing as I type this so I’m just going to try and enjoy winter because when summer comes I’ll probably be wishing for snow. Funny how the grass never fails to be greener on the other side.

Edit:
Guess I spoke a little too soon because look what Topshop is putting out for their A/W collection! I really want the one in the middle but I suppose £42 approximately $72.50 AUD is a little bit hefty.

i’m in love with that 70s outfit up the top! those sunglasses are the bees knees
and peach is a new colour i’m warming too as well! ever since i saw those candids of clemence poesy on the set of gossip girl in a peach blouse and cream/blue flowery fluttery skirt! :D
i really like the middle one in the 2nd pic :D :D love her shorts and shirt combo
at least you have a topshop, alas, we dont =(
but topshop is really pricey sometimes (from the website that I see)
compared to even say Zara ? !
Topshop has so many wonderful pieces, but I have yet to purchase anything from there. I get tempted, but it costs too much for me ;_______; one day when i am rich i will buy whatever I want from wherever I want! I really love summer…i love it so much. I enjoy fall fashion the most though…but I wouldn’t mind staying in summer forever…no school…i am happy ^_____^
oooh nice colour combo… It’s also really strange to think aus. has the opposite season… have to say I don’t particularly like winter in Vancouver… after my boyfriend returned he said aus. winter is not bad! something like autumn in the west coast of Canada :D and autumn is my fave. season for layering/wearing awesome outfits so <333
I would say Winter here is very, very mild compared to Canada! We get no snow at all in Sydney, you’ll have to go to the mountains for that. I think the maximum temp. is around 17 degrees celcius but it’s still quite cold because of the wind otherwise it’s really lovely.
I wish it was winter in LA right now! I’m so looking forward to Winter because I love wearing sweaters and boots. Right now I’ve been seeing a trend of olives, tans, and off whites in clothing stores. As well as lots of denim. Which I love because those are my favorite colors and I’ve been warming up to denim.
