Trend Spotting – La Vie en Rose

Pastel pink has had a major comeback in fashion. It’s such a simple way to bring a touch of romance to an outfit.  I’ve found that this colour can wash me out a bit so I’ll probably only be experimenting with the trend in the form of accessories or bottoms, but man I wish I… Read More
