Happy Easter

Happy Easter by colette featuring print dresses

This Givenchy dress is the perfect dress for spring. The print is in the color of the season, orange, as a graphic floral. The orange pops against a complementary light blue background. I love how modest the cut is so that none of the pattern is obscured by a low neckline or super short skirt. I hope you all had a nice time this weekend! xo

Downton Abbey

Downton Abbey by colette featuring wool hats

I have to say that Downton Abbey has become one of my new favorite TV shows. This PBS Masterpiece Theater show is rich is historical drama and witty humor. Maggie Smith as the Dowager Countess brings wit and humor to the screen with her old fashion views and unflattering comments. It follows the storylines of both the servants and the Crawley family of Downton Abbey. The beautiful depictions of English country life pre-WWI and the changing time period in both technology and woman's rights are done so well that it feels like you're there back in time with them. I recommend this to any Jane Austen fans and those who love period dramas. Not to mention I enjoy seeing all of the costumes for the time period.

Color for Spring: Orange

I predict that orange will become a big color for the spring and summer, especially in accents such as blazers, hangbags, lipstick, and accessories. I love the combo of orange with a light neutral, like cream, or mixing it in a complementary turquoise color. Keep it fun, keep it fresh!
