When life gives you oranges, what are you supposed to do? I say: Turn them into juice or wear them as a jumpsuit! This might be my last summer look unless I manage to smuggle myself into the cargo bay of a plane and make it to Madagascar. If not, you have to be happy with this bright mix of orange and pink – one of my favourite colour combos – for a while and be sure that my autumn looks will not be beige either.
Lana del Rey sings “Summertime Sadness” while I write those lines. It matches my feelings so well right now: No, I don’t want to let my favourite season go. So please summer, kiss me just one more time with your warm rays of sunshine before you go. Just another time and another very last time and maybe one time more and I wear my
My look and the song have those sweet and sticky vintage vibes in common, just like orange juice served with a lot of sugar. While the wind plays with my earrings I think of times long gone I spent on the beautiful island Bali.
Back then, I bought a wooden parrot necklace in a tiny shop at the beach and wore it all the time. The birds were just as colourfully painted as those on my new earrings. Many things I love to include in my looks have their roots in my childhood, this is no exception. I come back to them and reinterpret them regularly. Just like there is summer after winter and light after dark, they return.
So yes, if life gives you oranges, be happy!
It means winter is not here yet and you received fruits that taste of summer, warmth and sweetness. You might remember something almost forgotten…

Gorgeous!! I love pink and orange together too. Not many people like orange but, I think it’s a fun colour and always makes me think of summertime. Cherry & Mint is one of my favourite shops, love her designs. I don’t do beige either, I couldn’t think of anything more boring, especially in the autumn/winter time. Such a fun look 🙂 x
Thank you Kizzy, it’s one of my fav combos too. I even have a pink and orange Marc Jacobs bag. I think a lot of people still have trauma from the overdose of orange in the 70s and don’t like it because of that 😉 Go on not doing beige, the world needs less beige! xx
