Colour blocking is fun and when done properly, creates really good effects!
It is definately a trend for this spring.
I recently read an article on Vogue UK [online] on how to colour block and what colours compliment each other and I will share what I have learnt with you :)
Complimentary colours
- Team colours from the same family together for a harmonious look - think bright pinks with vivid fuchsias, turquoise with royal blue
- Keep warmer tones like orange and red together
- Go for a neutral-toned shoe to keep it simple
Mix it up
- Work regal purples in with contrasting, fiery oranges
- Try lime green with melon or rosebud pink for a pleasantly jarring combination
- Go to town on the look with a loud, contrasting shoe or handbag

p.s. As a personal favourite, I love the combination of pink and red! :P
