Pastels were a big trend of Autumn 2012 seen both on the
catwalk by designers such as Ralph Lauren and on celebrities like Jessica Alba
and Mila Kunis. But, just because Autumn has come and gone doesn't mean pastels
should as well.
Pastels are a fun way to add colour to your wardrobe without feeling like you're going too overboard. They are versatile and can be worn either as a block of colour (for the bold!) or as a compliment to a simpler outfit. Read below my top 5 ways to inject pastels into your wardrobe...

Number 1 – Accessories
Accessories are a great way to incorporate pastels in to
your outfit without jumping right in to the trend. For example, pastel coloured
clutches, heels or accessories will look fabulous with a little black dress.
Wearing all over colour can be daunting especially if you've
never tried it before. One way to combat this is to use pastels with prints.
You still get the effect of the colour without feeling as though you are too
OTT.

Number 3 – Beauty
Products
Beauty product ranges are a lot more diverse now than they
used to be and we are able to experiment with more styles, colours and learn
new techniques. One of my favourite beauty trends is ombre, and luckily for me
(and you!) ombre and pastels work fabulously together.
Revlon have a huge range of nail polish including
beautiful pastels. See the whole range here: http://products.revlon.com.au/nails/nail-enamels-amp-remover
Number 4 – Hair
Another huge 2012 trend is dip dyed hair. I absolutely adore
this look and if I was lucky enough to have light hair it is definitely
something I would be trying. Its not something I would suggest trying at home
as colours can vary depending on your natural hair colour so my tip here if you
are wanting to try this trend is to visit your hair stylist.

Number 5 – Colour
Blocking
One of my favourite trends of 2012 was colour blocking and
pastels work fabulously for this trend because they aren't overpowering
colours.
Colour blocking can be a tricky trend to master so my
biggest tip here is to choose colours to flow continuously through your outfit
and choose colours that will compliment your skin tone.
