The Power of Powder Blue
As the sun starts to peep from around the clouds and we emerge from the winter months we wanted to showcase one of our brand new colours, Powder Blue.
Powder Blue was a very popular colour in the 1950s symbolising innocence and fun. Pastel shades were all the rage during the fifties and made daywear more about making a statement.
The colour filtered through to cars, furniture and prints and sat alongside pretty pinks, creams and orange tones.
Fans of pastel colours include Doris Day, Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly.
Ways to wear Powder Blue...we love to team our Powder Blue products up with pearls as they both have a creamy hue that perfectly compliments one another and also pearls are great for day and night wear!

Darling of the silver screen and the small screen Doris Day encompassed the original 'Girl next door' look that we have come to love. Doris knew how to marry up pastels and her wardrobe was an array of colour.
