Right now I am focused on the crisp, clean pureness of white. It is so fresh, light, clean-looking, glamorous and any man, woman or child can wear the ever-stylish classic white shirt. Even white horses give me a sense of serenity and relaxation. And how much I do love fresh, good quality white bed linen. White paired with black is classic and eye-catching. White is simply sensational.  Audrey Hepburn  Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers  Natalie Portman  Ralph Lauren

  I have developed a great appreciation for the colour (or 'shade' to be more technically correct) of white. It's pure, cool in summer, striking in winter, identified with innocence, eye-catching and it simply goes with everything. There are many varying hues of white from stark blue-white (suitable for a bombshell with a fairly tanned complexion) to creams, champagnes and pink-whites, so investigate and find the colour that best suits your complexion. Next time you visit your trusty seamstress, ask her to make it exclusively white and enter that room looking simply startling!
