Dive into mellow yellow

As you probably already know, this season it-color is YELLOW.

Dear Fashion, don't get us wrong : Yellow always looked good on the sunny days. It's just that this year, celebs dare it more.
Chronology of the phenomenon : it started coyly last summer, then trendsetter Kylie sported a sunny yellow winter jacket in January, illuminating gray London and saying goodbye to the black days.

Yellow dresses popped up in many spring 2007 collections, often as a random injection of colour in amongst more subdued tones.



Valentino : Incredibly hot and casual at the same time, elegant yellow.




Versace : cheeky and acid





Missoni : shining luxury and refinement, to have tea at the Ritz on a Sunday Afternoon :o)

A few actresses picked the hue for THE Red Carpet:

Reese Witherspoon at the Golden Globes 2007, in a bright yellow short strapless dress and bangs.

Naomi Watts at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party 2007 at Mortons Los Angeles.
Designers teamed their vibrant yellow pieces with nude shades, black and silver - all of which compliment the electrifying force of this season's yellow.

Unsurprisingly the trend carried over to Spring, to our great delight.

Pure sweetness! From her cheerful yellow minidress (Juicy Couture) to her stacked bangles and blinget out hoops to her shaded sunglasses, JLO couldn't look more appealing. Get all the detail on this stunning look right here.

Gwen exudes feminity and confidence in this flamboyant strapless dress in The May issue of Harper's Bazaar.

Here comes the celeb followers :

To conclude, my little favorite, this light and poetic butterfly top designed by Alexander Mac Queen, it's a Midsummer Night's Dream ;o)

Trend Alert : Stripes, Stripes, Stripes !

Maybe it's Gwen's fault, maybe not, but it's a fact : stripes are all over celebs those days. It started last year, and it's going on. I especially like how Ashley Simpson sported it : wide grey and turquoise stripes (her sweater looks so comfy, probably cashmere...) with quilted bag and black cap. Like the wet hair, it makes her look sensual.

You can easily find a lovely striped shirt for a reasonable price, my pick would definetely be Juicy Couture, at least for colored striped. This top is available here for $88.

I especially like the buttons, they add sexiness. If you wear stripes, the keyword is "Accessorize", glam it up to avoid looking like you've escaped from jail : designer sunglasses, jewelry, bags, heels...

if you want something more sophisticated, I would opt for Sonia Rykiel. Stripes have been her signature fabric since her very beginning, and no one handles it better. Here are my fav SR dresses for the upcoming season, but you can browse the site for more striped beauties : http://www.soniarykiel.com/

I have a soft spot for the one with the bow : its size, it's location, the laid-back look ... Très Très Chic!
