The must-have shades this spring: pastel perfection

Modalu England Spring Summer 2016

Modalu England SS16 Collection

Spring is almost up on us, and we couldn’t be more thankful. Sure, layering is fun and you know, we love hats and scarves but it gets to a certain point where that novelty starts to wear off. We want to feel our fingers again, we miss pub gardens, we miss picnics and being able to enjoy a cocktail in the sun with our girls. We want to be able to wear what we want without the panic of catching the flu if we don’t have all body parts covered and insulated. Is that too much to ask?

Roll on spring! Oh to feel warmth on our faces again, and to get us even more excited is the wonderful new season offerings. Say hello to pastels galore. It goes hand in hand with florals, the two trends you just know will come around again year after year, which makes them a fairly worthwhile and sure investment.

This week we’ve mainly been lusting after Modalu England’s newest drop of pastel perfection handbags. Peaches, lilacs, mint greens and tangerine orange makes up this divine new collection just in time for a spring wardrobe update. Or if you prefer neutral tones, there’s also classic styles available in black, white and gorgeous nudes. Perfect for those who opt for a more minimal style of wardrobe.
