.. I've discovered, is to simply wear the colour yellow! It's as simple as that!

Still haven't found my yellow swimsuit.. but found a photo (I actually think this was taken by Mr. Dot: and from a great distance, at that. Probably somewhere in the Carribean.. not sure).

Weird coincidence, tho: just as I found the photo, I also found in my inbox, an invite from my lovely friends Lucy (Snippets of Shiny Thoughts) and Carrie (WishWishWish) - they're doing a wonderful Uni project to raise money for Japan. Invite below, just please email flash@flashparadise, and/or tweet @flashparadise - oh and she said 'they need to be a blogger' but hey, if you're reading this, chances are you are one, right? Read all about it here.





It's funny that they chose this yellow background: it's more the kind of softer yellow I lean towards. The swimsuit, tho, if I recall, was that really intense yellow. The 'skirt' is a shot I took of a flower - it's not real. But then again, if you really think about it, what is?

Weather report in London today: sun's out, but it's not swimming weather at the moment. What I'm wearing: Chanel-esque bold plaid jacket, lime green jumper, tan leggings, hot pink watch. Fashion can be fun.

Hi,

This picture looks lovely of you. The flower as a skirt is very creative.

This picture is adorbs. And I love the yellow suit! I'm so anti-full suits, but now I may try one this summer. Yellow also looks great on you, you're lucky! It's such an amazing and inspiring color.

Weather report here: 40F & rain. ((Thumbs down))
