Is it just me or are you guys starting to get bored of dark colours? I’ve been thinking a lot about how I can incorporate bright colours into my daily look lately, without looking excessively “vibrant”. Although retail stores are starting to stock up on spring and summer items, most people are still sticking to blacks and blues. So I’ve decided that I’ll make a gradual transition to wearing bright colours as opposed to showing up to work one day in green trousers, yellow top, pink coat and red shoes – erm yes, I do happen to own all of these!
To make this change, I’ve been looking into “small” items that would bring a pop of colour to my winter outfits – I am guilty of wearing darks too! The best way of showing off colours in the winter without looking out of place is through makeup and accessories. Some of the items I’ve been lusting over are purses & wallets from Accessorize, eyeshadows from Morphe and nail polishes from Barry M.
Below, I’ve created a wishlist with items that I need to brighten up my winter look! It’s all about getting the right balance of colours during the “transitional season” and it’s always more challenging than it seems! It’s a mix of beauty and accessories, but they all have on thing in common: “colours!”

Let me know how you’re adding colours to you everyday look or do you prefer to stick to dark colours until it gets warmer?
That necklace is gorgeous! I'm still finding myself wearing dark colours for work, but you can't beat a pop of colour through a bright lipstick/stain! x
I'm currently wearing loads of dark colours too, but that needs to change. 😉 x
I need to admit that I´m never a fan of too much colour (not even in summer!) but that Mac Lipstick is absolutely gorgeous! As I have genetically quite yellow teeth, reds and nudes are my go-to colour for lipstick and this looks perfect for spring!

I only started wearing loads of colours when I started blogging. I used to wear black all the time! 😛 x
That shades of that palette is insane! Love the phone case too. xx

I know! I'll probably only end up using 5 colours anyways, but it's a cool thing to have. 🙂 x
So many great ways to add colour to a regular grey/black outfit. I love the idea of a bright nail polish such as his popping yellow x
Beauty with charm
Will definitely be adding more and more of these bright colours now! x
