Pretty In Pastel

Posted: February 25, 2011 12:39 pm / By The Naked Bodycare Team

We know it's been London Fashion Week this week, but we've been more preoccupied with what's in the shops now that we can buy! We had such a sunny day yesterday, it feels like summer is just on the horizon (if you really strain your eyes!). We think it’s about time our frowns got turned upside down, with the help of some colour. With this year’s spring/summer trend set to be focused on pastels, we’ve picked out our favourite pieces to turn your pasty winter into a rainbow summer of pale pinks and baby blues.

Want to brighten up your face? Take inspiration from SS11 shows such as Mulberry and Paul&Joe, where pastel shades were used on eyes and cheeks to give that warm spring glow. Keep eyes dreamy with pale turquoise or sky blue for that angelic look, we love Max Factors Precision eye shadow in Stardust.

Models Own are bang on trend with their range of polishes, guaranteed to brighten up any mood, and starting at only £5 a bottle you can’t go wrong! 

Pastel shades don’t just stop there though. Gone are the days of boring blue denims, as seen on celebrities such as Katy Perry and Fearne Cotton, and instead jeans are replaced with brighter more daring colours, such as mint green and pale yellows. Don’t fancy candy coloured legs? Try brightening up your outfit with a scarf, such as this limited edition style from Miss Selfridge for just £22!

Even Le Cresuet has brought out a new range of individual casserole dishes in a range of pastel shades, so adorable they’ll brighten any kitchen!

So as you can see, pastels really are everywhere this spring! Until then though why not cheer yourself up with a bath, using Naked’s own Starflower bath foam, in a cheeky pastel purple shades. We’re so on trend.
