Orange, orange, orange...

Happy New Year and welcome ...to the scorching hot weather that has finally graced us!  I don't want to scare away the sun, because believe me I'm extremely happy to see it, but a teeny weeny little bit less on the mercury would have been fine!  But alas, now that summer is in full swing, it's time to get out those summer threads and get ready for those balmy nights!  One of the hottest (pardon the pun) colours for the beginning of 2012 is orange... or others may prefer to refer to it as tangarine.  It's a colour that shouts 'SUMMER' and is a block colour that is right on fashion trend at the moment.

With all the post-Christmas sales still in our favourite stores and on our favourite online sites, NOW is a perfect time to grab a little...or a lot... of orange for your wardrobe.  I absolutely adore this Bardot Paradise Kimono Cardigan which is made from 100% silk and on sale at the moment for $50.  There appears to be only one size left online, so if it is not the size you are looking for, I would be contacting Bardot Customer Service quick smart to see where it is instore.  The kimono has been a divine accessory this season to wear with absolutely everything.  Wear with jeans and racer back singlet or wear over a LBD - the possibilities are endless and no doubt can be worn with something already in your closet.

Witchery have an A-MAY-ZING sale on right now... with so many current season stock to wreak havoc with your purse!  This Ruffle Layer Camisole is simply gorgeous and available, on sale, for $89.95.  It would look perfect, again, with so many things in the back of your cupboard.  A black maxi or midi skirt, a pair of boyfriend jeans or a cute tailored knee length short.  Dress is up with some chunky gold jewellery for an evening dinner or dress down with your favourite flip flops or sandals for brunch.  Made from 65% cotton and 35% silk, it is a key summer item which gives that POP of bold colour whilst remaining feminine with ruffles and v-neckline.

But if you are only looking to add a little bit of colour, why not try a little orange on your feet!  This strappy flat sandal with double buckle, right, named 'Turner' from Novo Shoes are a quintessential flat to adorn your feet.  Available for $59.95 (this is the full price cost), they are extremely cute and fun.  Or Tony Bianco's 'Cooper' peep toe platform heel in Melon Suede, left, is on sale for $90 and is a spectacular heel to dress up your jeans or your evening dress.  Or perhaps a great way to add some summer colour to your work ensemble!  So with the warm weather here, add a bit of orange to your life!
