Block This!

I recently stumbled upon, through my blogging travels, some fabulous info on colour blocking. Lindsay Albanses is a celebrity stylist and gave the best take on this creative technique.

She says: It’s as easy as pairing your solid separates together, and calling it an outfit. Although there are those fearless fashion girls out there who will pair as many colors as a skittles bag into one look, I prefer to stick to my 3 color combo max rule, per look! Anymore than that can get tricky, and sometimes tacky, and lord knows we want nothing to do with the T word!

So, the rainbow’s the limit, but here are a few colorblocks that I’ve worn and I hope they can inspire you. And don’t forget, 3CCM!



Charteuse, Hot pink, Orange




Red, Royal, Purple




Pale pink, Red, Hot Pink



Green, Orange, Purple

Colour Blocking Know-How: Don’t leave a colour to stand alone. Go for maximum impact and combine strong, rich colours for opulent dressing. Start this trend by experimenting with complimentary colours:
* Choose colours with a similar tonal base – i.e. fuchsia & bright pink or bold orange & reds.
* Break up blocks of daring colour with neutral-toned accessories in cream or grey.
* Introduce your second block colour outside of your outfit with a clashing handbag.
* For subtle simplicity, choose a simple coloured shift with bright tights or heels.

This is only a guide so experiment with different  shades
