Candy Colours for SS14

Indulge in the sweet taste of candy this Spring as Pastels are making a return with lilac and aqua at the forefront. The soothing essence of the diluted purple spectrum and the varying tones of the turquoise family create a flirty, fun Spring vibe. Entwine the two shades into a floral print for a softer, easy to wear interpretation or add a stunning aqua colour to your nails.

Warmer skin tones can wear soft pastels avoiding direct contact (especially lilac) whereas cooler skin tones should opt for icy pastels to suit their complexion. Experiment with a selection of scarves to easily visualise if the colour suits your skin tone - an inexpensive way to freshen up your wardrobe instantly!!

Are you a huge fan of scrumptious pastel tones? Will you be indulging in the delightful (tasty) trend? We certainly LOVE candy here at The image Consulting Company, so we are in!!! Take a look below to see how you can easily incorporate the taste of Spring into your wardrobe - excuse the pun!

The Gingham Trend for Straight Up & Down Body Shapes

Image Source & Links to Clothes

This Gingham trend is really coming in for Spring/Summer and here at The image Consulting Company we always like to share a new trend. Also one of our main mottos is dress for your shape so in this post all of these tops are for the straight up and down girls who don't have the biggest bust. Now sometimes these ladies can feel a bit down about the lack of size in this area because lovely things like wrap dresses need to be pinned to prevent gaping and it can be a bit of a nightmare. But the plus side is that you can wear pretty high necked tops like these and the prints work really well because they won't make you look bigger than you are. This can happen with bigger busts and busy prints can make you seem larger. The high necks are also a problem for making you seem bigger than you are for bigger busts as tops tend to hang off you like a table cloth. Luckily for smaller breasted gals these will flatter and look oh so cute this Spring/Summer.

If you do have a bigger bust and still want to go with this cute gingham trend, why not try a 50s style dress in this pretty print that will flatter curves or even a pair of gingham check trousers or leggings with a plain top if you're top heavy. This will bring more emphasis down to your smallest part, your legs.

Hope this was helpful!

The Power of the Pastels!!

Every year the pretty pastel trend adorns our high street and this season is no exception. However, the pastel shades have set to transform our luscious locks!

Filtered down from the extreme, artistic examples from the catwalk you can achieve the look from simply dip dying the ends of your hair, subtly run different colours through various strands or dare to dye your weave entirely in a lavender or dusky pink!

The trend looks spectacular when captured in a braid or plait showing a variety of vivid colours. Which example would you try out?
