I loved the peaches and cream outfits at the SS09 shows. Not only did they have the beautifully soft colours of peaches and cream but also the roundness of peaches. The colours are so stylish in a very understated way and work so well with the interesting shaped outfits. They had a very warm and fuzzy feel about them, just like a basket of peaches. By combining colours with a very neutral back ground like cream or beige the designers have let the colours really stand out on their own without any complications. This look works well with the lightest of light peachy pinks to brighter orange peach colours.

Peaches and cream are great summer colours to wear. Try this linen blend skirt with this interesting Ted Baker georgette panel blouse.

Circles and semi circles seem to be a bit of a theme at some of the spring summer 09 shows. The geometric shapes formed by lots of circles or semi circles embellishments and laser cut pieces attached to garments made for some interesting silhouettes. The roundness of the clothes is something of a development on last seasons rounded shoulders and tulip skirts, with shapes now even bigger, stronger and sharper than before.

At Dolce and Gabbana - full circles were used to make a very interesting and exaggerated sleeve shape that was complimented perfectly by the understated pencil skirt.

At Chloe - Small semi circles along the shoulder and arm line of this jacket made for a soft but dramatic shape.

At Christopher Kane - semi circles inspired by dinosaur scales gave the skirt a very interesting three dimensional shape.

At Marni - Lots of circles in strong colours or black were used to make a compelling decoration.

If you want to add a bit of circular fashion to your wardrobe look out for spotted and geometric circle prints, embellishments in circle or semi circle shapes, big rounded shoulders and jewellery with circle and semi circle shapes.

For a subtle take on the springs circle trend, I love these Dower & Hall Forget Me Not Print Circle Earrings

I have been expecting something very good from Chloé at Paris Fashion week this time. The British designer Hannah MacGibbon is now at the helm and she has had plenty of experience, working for the successful brand since 1997. The label has had a few fairly dissappointing seasons and now Hannah has her chance to shine, I can’t wait to see what she has come up with.

The collection definitely showed some promise. Made up of some lovely wardrobe staples including trousers and coats, the collection was simplistic and cleaner than many previous Chloé collections. I really loved the jumpsuit and dresses which exhibited that classic French style and quality that the  Chloé label is reknown for.

The colours were muted shades of  apricot, yellow and cream and the collection was packed with luxurious wearability. For me this collection certainly did not dissappoint, I will be hoping that some of the style is transferred into the more affordable See by Chloé diffusion range.

 For those that love the Chloé brand, this Chloé perfume is the ultimate treat.
