some colorful picks for summer

...because sometimes it's okay to look like a rainbow or a scarlet macaw,

even better, a scarlet macaw sitting on a rainbow,

eating a funfetti cupcake.

My favorites from Diane Von Furstenberg S/S 2011

This is her first collaboration with Yvan Mispelaere, and a successful one for sure. In typical dfv style, there were lots of bold prints throughout the collection (not shown here). They were great as well, but I tend to gravitate toward the less graphic, more simple silhouettes, like those above. Beautiful. I'm particularly loving the rust and blue color combo in photo two.

I tend to be attracted to black/white/gray/beige/neutral kind of colors...but I also know that bright colors can be quite wonderful, even uplifting. Enjoy.
