Last year I saw a photo in Vogue of a lady called Elena Perminova, part of 'the Russian set' who not only managed to win the genetic lottery (ex-model) but also the actual lottery (billionaire husband) and has the most phenomenal wardrobe of clothes...check her out here. There she was, resplendent in a lilac coat and peach hat. It was a refreshing choice of Love Heart/Parma Violet colours, mixed with a bit of whimsy - my ideal outfit. Her style mixes high fashion,which looks cool but occasionally veers over to the slightly bonkers. A winning combination! I cut out the picture and kept it in my diary thinking that I probably wouldn't ever get my mitts on the Chloe coat or Maison Michel hat (or for that matter an ex-KGB billionaire husband) but maybe somewhere down the line I could use the colours in one of my outfits.
While dressing recently for a wedding I recalled the picture in Vogue and decided to use the pale candy colours of my Zimmerman Splatter dress, ASOS Mongolian jacket and Anya Hindmarch Apple Bag. Apart from a few big bird comments, I really enjoyed this; mostly for the palate of colours and fluttery feathers. It finally felt like Spring!
