Summer is for Colour

Hermes Spring 2010 Ad Campaign

The temps have really been heating up in Toronto this week. Those of us who have lingered in pulling out our summer wardrobe are now rushing to hide away wool sweaters and hang up breeezy tops, light dresses, and cotton tanks and shorts.  A recent trip to India and this gorgeous ad campaign by Hermes has inspired me to dive into colour this summer.  Here are some tips on how to take the plunge:

1.  Know what colours look good on you. These will be the colours you will then naturally gravitate towards whether for your wardrobe or home.

2.  Add colour to your living space with bright pillows, linens, curtains, fresh flowers, or artwork.

3.  Paint an accent wall in your favourite colour.

4.  Wear only as much colour as you feel comfortable with. You could wear colour from head to toe or just let your neutral outfit pop with colourful beads, a handbag, or a bright shoe.

I absolutely love wearing bright colours in the summer. However, the older I get, the more I see myself drawing towards neutrals.
