Blog Post: Peaches and Cream



One of the glorious things about spring and summer is the freshest corn available in the market. The varieties and the taste are so deliciously diverse that its always a great adventure trying different ones.

Alright, alright, I tried.

This post really isn't about corn. 

You can probably tell from the photos, yes? No, my dear, this really is about this gorgeous colour of coral that you most likely have seen in every retail store this season.

It's bright, it's fun. I love it. 

Do you?


Alright, I love it, yes I do.

But I actually do have some trouble wearing it. I agree with the style experts that this is one colour that can look good with every complexion given the right tone but goodness, I personally found it hard to wear.


So here I am, I thought I was all styling and rocking that colour-block trend and all. But then after looking through these photos, I realized that although the nude belt and peep-toe are the perfect choice for accessories, the green purse might be looking a little too green for the coral's liking.

Ah, coral it crazy but I might give it another try. If I can figure out a different coloured shoe to go along with all this peachy goodness that is.

What about you, do you have a colour too difficult to wear too?

I think the coral and green is fun and a classic Preppy, Palm Beach color combo!  Looks like you are ready for Spring!

I tend to love many colours, but yes I do have favourites and certain ones that I feel are difficult for me to pull off. But, I love the pink colour on you. It's such a lovely outfit with your Kelly green bag.
