Neutrals from head to toe

There has been a huge transition from colour blocking and bright accessories to entirely neutral outfits consisting of greys, beige tones, light pink, black and white. The trick is to combine these neutrals in a way that you don't look boring or washed out, which can so easily happen without a pop of colour. Neutrals always look classy and expensive, and if you don't believe me then have a look at Sandra Bullock's wardrobe from The Blind Side (I have NEVER been so inspired by a wardrobe from a movie).

My favourite colour of the moment is that light dusty pink, which is surprising since I have never really been drawn to this colour before. Either pair a pink top with a pair of white pants or shorts, and beige heels or a monochrome grey and black combo with gold or silver jewellery and you can't go wrong. Any kind of animal print (leopard, snakeskin) works well too, and could be included as a neutral since all the colours are subtle basic tones. Along with Sandy B, let me share with you a few of my favourite neutral inspired outfits.

Dream Closets

Since I can remember it has been a fantasy of mine to have a big walk in closet with shoe racks, good lighting, neat colour coordinated clothing and floor length mirrors. Even when I was little I would try and create extra make shift shelves with scrap pieces of wood and blocks. I always think of that Sex and the City scene when Big surprises Carrie with her new closet and that beautiful pair of midnight blue Manolo's perched on a rack inside. A girl can dream right?

I have gathered up a few dream closets for you all to be in awe of, and other closets that are easily attainable to create on a budget. There are also so many ways of incorporating your clothes and shoes into the decor of your room instead of hiding it away behind cupboards. If you have a fancy pair of stilettos, a cool hat or a statement necklace that is just too pretty to put in a drawer, display them in unique ways on hooks, boxes and shelves. I hope you feel inspired!
