I've always been intimidated by bright colors. I love them in magazines, I love them on other people, however my wardrobe is mostly dark and dim. I've slowly started to change this. It could be that I'm trying to spruce up my look for the summer, but it could also be because bright colors are everywhere and it's slowly growing on me.. literally. I became a convert when I saw the neon Marc Jacob PVC bag in New York. Gulp!! Yes, it's a beautiful piece. I call it : that colourful accent pillow in the room that I'd like to throw on myself. I embrace this new philosophy of bright colors.

I don't believe in accent colors, I believe in mixing them and making it work. Who's with me?

Banana Republic mint peplum top (on sale, found here!) - More summer music

Another summer-like week has gone by. Today, I'm lucky enough not to have anything planned in the agenda, so I'll soak up the sun and continue reading The last of the Mohicans.

I just thought I'd share that Banana republic is having an amazing sale right now. I scored this pretty peplum top for more than half off. This is the time to spruce up the wardrobe and not pay full price! The skirt on the other hand, I paid full price. It was an instant favourite.. although a daring print! I've come a long way from my conservative monochrome picks! Must be something in the summer air!

Have a lovely day!
