Pastel picks // AKA how to nail the pastel trend without looking like a Neapolitan ice cream

This one is dedicated to my dearest friend Tamara ‘can I wear a pastel bouclé jacket to a garage night?’ Hopkins (follow her on Twitter here).

The answer to the above is of COURSE, ‘yes’. So long as your lipstick matches, and indeed for all of us *looks down at fuschia jeans, lemon socks, mint jumper, coral nails and bubblegum lipstick* OK, OK,  all of YOU who want to nod, nay even cutsey to this spring’s pastel trend without looking like strawberry shortcake, (and I CAN’T THINK WHY).

So here are Le Blow’s top tips for accessorising the pastel way…

I DIE. Those GENIUS’ at WAH NAILS have literally nailed this one (sorry) with multi pastel shades and cute half moon contrast. Hit up your nearest WAH salon, or find pop-ups in Topshop, Oxford Street and Stratford for nails soooo good you’ll want to lick them. No? Just me? Oh. OK.

You heard. Cons/Vans/Puma – they’re all on it. Pimp your plims with some gorgeous chalky pastels.

Check out these Puma x UNDFTD lo-tops exclusive to Size. I’ll take one in EVERY colour. And mix and match feet. And what.

For delectable cute-as-cupcake wrist icing look no further than Casio, for gorgeous shades and at the steal of a price (£15), who CARES if you only wear them twice (sorry mother earth, will eBay, we PROMISE)?!
