  7. Such a fresh pairing of vibrant colors. Amazingly together, they are not too bold. I wish I could pull of yellow. The Carolina Herrera gown is positively ferocious! I also love the John Rocha, which is such an innovative and unexpected sillhouette. I love the totes as well, but do you think the blue and yellow bag with the blue and yellow look is too matchy-matchy?

  60. this is such a good summer combination! i love the pic of blair and nate

    ReplyDelete
  61. Even before scrolling down to read the post, Marc Jacobs popped into my head. Then voila! He sent a few yellow/blue ensembles down the runway for S/S09 and many of the accessories had the same colourway. Yellow is going to be the colour of the season; just a prediction ;) P.S. Jourdan Dunn is getting more gorgeous every time I see her.
