Every season you hear about a different colour being "the new black" - sometimes it's blue, or brown or gray. Even black can be the new black. For Spring/Summer 2011 we decided to put a new twist on the old saying: Blush is the new nude!

It's pretty and fresh, and guaranteed to brighten up your new season wardrobe.

Last season the talk was all about nudes and neutral shades - this season we are seeing a new "nude" shade emerge as one of the top trends. We associate blush with a rosy colour of nude, and that's exactly what you will find below. It's not quite pink, and not quite nude.. although the effect is the same as nude.

Color trends are easy to incorporate into your wardrobe, as you can to choose a style that suits you! From simple minimalist dresses, item jackets, frothy gowns.. or even basics like tops & blouses. For the office, pair a blush blouse with tailored black trousers, or how about a sharp little blush jacket with gray? In the summer, white & blush will look terrific.

You don't have to avoid blush if you don't feel it matches your skin tone (not all colors are for everyone) - and that's where accessories come in.

You can easily combine a blush handbag with your all-black ensemble right now for a fashion forward transitional look - or replace your nude sandals with blush this season.

Sophia Vergara looked amazing while shopping in Los Angeles wearing a fabulous Diane von Furstenberg blush leather jacket.. and how about Hilary Swank in her asymmetric blush gown by Versace at the 2011 SAG Awards? Both winning looks below.. and available online!
