Orange

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes. 

"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" - The Beatles

We are picturing ourselves with tangerine trees and marmalade skies alright peeps ... ORANGE is backkk !!! No no, we don't mean the fruit (this is not a food blog) ... we mean the colour orange in all its beautiful range, from just orange, tangerine, marmalade, pumpkin, saffron, salmon, coral, carrot, titian, ginger , halloween, flame, ochre, marigold to mandarin amber ... all shades of orange that showed up on the catwalks of Spring/Summer 2013 from New York to Paris !!

We Indians couldn't be happier, orange looks stunning on Indian skin tones! This colour showed up in the Spring/Summer 2013 collections in New York, continued onto London, Milan(even showing up in menswear) and is now popping up on the Paris runways. Paris Fashion Week concludes on the 3rd of October, i.e. tomorrow, and there is no doubt for observers of fashion trends and fashionistas that Orange is back with a bang! That can only mean that the high street stores (which we can afford in reality) will start stocking up on this yummy vibrant colour. So we sifted through our wardrobes and Voila !! came up with this beautiful orange dress from Mango( bought exactly a year back), dressed a gorgeous friend of ours, and took some indoor shots amidst loads of fun and laughter. ( BTW, did you know .. the first recorded use of orange as a colour name in English, was in 1512, till then it was called "geoluread" or yellow-red.)

Our gorgeous girlie Neha Pathania , thank you so much for being such a sport .... love and hugs :)
