Summer brights

It seems a bit old news to write about summer seeing as we should be well on to Autumn/Winter trends now (or Christmas for us Stylists!) - but I can't help recognising these punchy summer colours Leslie Shewring has styled. As always her work is the look of military coordination...

I hereby salute you Leslie, as the queen of colour palettes, moodboards and cute DIY details!

To me this fusion of aquamarines and citrus tones conjures up thoughts of fresh mint mojitos... or perhaps a fresh mint tea seeing as it is only lunchtime!




I think this colour palette would be most suited to a conservatory space or compact/balcony garden - with painted pots and garden furniture in limes, blues and yellows, and cushions or seat pads in ikat patterns.
