Wednesday Wish List - pretty pastels

The temperature dial may have slipped into the subzero end of the scale and thermals may have replaced your pjs (just me?) but let's keep positive, spring is just around the corner. The sale rails and transitional collections have made way for gorgeously merchandised spring pieces in store which means it must be close. As much as I love brights for making a statement, I'm really glad to see pretty pastels making a quiet appearance too. Seen on the catwalks of 3.1 Phillip Lim, Ralph Lauren, Prada, Versus and Carolina Herrera, the saccharine sweet sherbert shades are a breath of fresh air are seasons of brights and colour blocking. Whether you fancy pairing a pastel piece with cool neutrals for a subtle look or making like a box of Laduree goodies and fully embracing the trend, there are some really great pieces hitting the shops right now. I adore the patent heels from New Look and the coloured jeans. The skirt in the middle is actually Acne, the print is so pretty. Will you be embracing the pastel trend this season?
