Hello, Lovely Yellow Dress

You could say that I have a mild addiction to yellow (I guess you could cross out mild, and replace it with the word strong!). Especially the light, soothing pastel shade of the colour. I have to admit that I still, sometimes, obsess over a gorgeous dress in a lovely sunny yellow that Mischa Barton wore back in 2006. It is the perfect dress for throwing on for running errands, looking both relaxed and chic. However, this post is not about Mischa Barton or the perfect everyday yellow dress. This post is about the stunning dress designed by Italian designer, Fausto Puglisi, worn here by Anna Dello Russo.

The dress is from Puglisi's S/S 2011 collection. The designer was chosen by Dolce & Gabbana to take part in their early designer's project, which earned him a place in the concept department store, Via Spiga 2. One can say that Anna Dello Russo is just excited by Fausto Puglisi as her friends, Domenico and Stefano. It is not only the fresh, vibrant colour (or the beautiful shape of the dress itself!) that I love so much. The gold details ooze of such power and gives off such a strong attitude - which is something I find so amazing. Fausto explained his use of gold to vogue.it: "In particular I am attracted to gold: from the Roman empire to mafia iconography, from Damien Hirst to Napoleon, from army uniforms to madonnas' mantles; I am fascinated by the possibility of incorporating in my clothes that fierce power that gold has given to the personalities of those historic periods." Oh, lovely, LOVELY dress, won't you come my way?

Ellery Spring / Summer 2011/2012

I am always on the lookout for new, up-and-coming fashion labels, and lately I have had my eyes open for the Australian label, Ellery. Kym Ellery, the designer behind the label, designs special and interesting, yet very wearable pieces. The spring/summer 2011/2012 collection consisted of clean, sharp silhouettes, floaty fabrics, shimmery silver and gold and sunny, zesty yellow. I absolutely adore the various coats - how I would love to walk around yellow one in the last photo.

Summer Must-Have: The Yellow Bag

As we have just seen the end of the easter celebrations, there is no doubt when saying that yellow is one of the most current colours at the moment. However, fashion-lovers won't be quick to leave this trend behind as it was one of the most exciting colours on the runway for the S/S 2011 collections. All shades of the colour were represented on the catwalk; from a pale, creamy yellow at Chanel to a bolder and brighter shade at Christian Dior.

Swedish blogger, Angelica Blick, has picked up this trend, and showed off a gorgeous yellow bag on her blog a few days back, teaming it with a simple and chic outfit. The bag (and the outfit!) has been on my mind ever since I lay eyes on it.

The bag is from Zara, and can be used both as a clutch and a shoulder-bag. Perfect for making an elegant outfit so much more exciting! If you're not too keen on yellow, the bag is also in the colours red, green and blue.

Do you like this trend? Will you be purchasing something yellow for summer?

Solve Sundsbo for Vogue China March 2011

I often do like the editorials that are featured in Vogue China a lot, and this is one of those that I love. Firstly, it is because photographer Solve Sundsbo has taken these great shots (he is one of my favourite photographers!), and secondly, it has to do with the amazing styling by Marie Chaix. The turquoise accessories, the Alexander McQueen jacket and the yellow bodycon dress are my favourite pieces in these photos. I have a sneaky feeling that I will wear a lot of yellow this summer!
