Orange Crush

It all began with a certain Jil Sander skirt...sashaying its way down the runway, and in that moment it was obvious. Orange is the new black. For this season at least. 

During the september shows orange slowly started to drench the runways like a tasty, bubbly, refreshingly cold orange crush. It was everywhere! And from poppy to fluorescent orange...

Prada 

Calvin Klein

Hermés

Christopher Kane

Alexander McQueen

Or from a pink-ish tangerine to the orange of the monarch butterflies forming a McQueen dress...orange  quietly escaped during the cold winter months from the showrooms and rushed into stores, fashion blogs, and our wardrobes. 

Chiara from The Blonde Salad 

Fashion Guitar

Atlantic-Pacific

Head-to-toe, color blocking or just a little touch of orange to brighten an outfit, orange is the color to wear, making this season, one of the most colorful seasons in year, even brighter. 

How are you wearing the Orange Crush?

That Red Jacket...

That Red Jacket from Zara's April Lookbook... Le sigh.

Too bad that where I'm from it already feels like summer.

Note to self: I don't need it. I don't need it. I don't need it...Maybe if I repeat that long enough I won't end up buying something I won't use 'til October, just maybe.

D.I.Y. Sunday

Today's forecast was laziness with a few bits of boredom. 

No sir, not this sunday. I decided to make a productive day out of this Sunday. So I forced myself out of bed went downtown, bought some materials and spent the afternoon making things. I made two leather clutches and a some stuff my room (which I'm re-decorating).  

I won't post the decor stuff because it's not ready yet...(when my room's ready I'm doing a piece about it!) but I made this........

Ever since Andy from Style Scrapbook uploaded the DIY instructions for her yellow clutch like the ones selling in American Apparel I went completely bananas over it. Spring Fever's hitting me hard and my wardrobe is   turning to hardcore-bright colors and colorful hues. I just had to make a clutch for myself! 

It was so easy, really, you can find Andy's instructions here. 

        

It's bright, it's happy, it's yellow:)!!!

Ok. Pretend I didn't write that...

It was so easy in fact I'm making more in different sizes and colors...

Are you thinking what I'm thinking????

YES!!

Taylor Tomassi's Celine Blue Clutch!!!

Can't wait to get my hands on some blue leather to make one like this Celine's forget-me-not clutch,

Hope you had a great weekend and hope you have a great week!
