There are no limits in a summer of freedom. It makes us feel young and unburdened, taking us back to times where we were still naive and hopeful. Even if these times will never come back completely - taking some slight traces of easiness and enthusiasm in the daily routine can be great for the everyday life. It helps to establish a live-affirming attitude. And how can we get the best external support to fulfill the mission of becoming more happy and optimistic? By means of bright colours in our surroundings. The colours of our outfits. The combinations and designers we choose and which we have to confront in the mirror the whole day. It is time for experiments, for variety, for unusual ideas - not only when choosing our wardrobe, but also with our make-up and of course when furnishing the flat and even the working place.

An optimistic view can be transported in many ways. But colours are the easiest, most accessible means. Trying a new make-up, for example a bright eye-shadow, surprises not only others, but also yourself. And that is definitely a good feeling because it shows, that one is flexible, diverse and not completely stuck in the daily routine. The impact of colours on the mood is well-known. Colours help to evoke a certain emotion and therefore are prerequisites for a successful start in the day. Additionally, pampering oneself contributes to the overall well-being. So treat yourself with a huge bunch of spring flowers, a delicate slice of cake, an expensive lipstick, a good book - if you are in the mood for it. Caring for yourself and your needs and wishes - that is the best thing you can do in order to become a happy person.

A summer of colours doesnt mean that you have to mix them all. That you have to use prints and tones youve never liked and combine them in the most crazy way. It just means that there arent any limits - all colours are somehow "in". As are all the different prints: leo and snake, polka dots, stripes, zigzag and waves, flowers in all sizes. Colour blocking is as common as combinations of patterns. On the downside, this can lead to confusion, to disagreement about whats good and whats just too much. On the other hand, this gives us the freedom of choice we are striving for in all areas of life. We can start our colour game by using a funny bag, like the bucket bag by Diane von Fuerstenberg (Produkt z.Zt. ausverkauft) which attracts attention by the grey-yellow-black leather combination and the wave-pattern.

Or we immediately pick a colour booster outfit like the bold turquoise mini dress by Surface to Air (Produkt z.Zt. ausverkauft) which is slightly transparent, very tight, has a deep V-Neck and is pretty short- in other words a sexy thing. It can be combined with another bright colour or even a flashy cardigan like the printed stretch-knit cardigan by Missoni (Produkt z.Zt. ausverkauft). Due to its popular pattern and the Kimono sleeves it is an absolute It-piece. Also multi-colored and designed in a typical summer dress cut is the Milly dress (Produkt z.Zt. ausverkauft) , made out of linen and cotton. With its halterneck it looks perfect with a bikini. Very chic on the other hand is the red organza dress by Sportmax (Produkt z.Zt. ausverkauft). It is an elegant slip-on with girly butterfly embroidery. Again more casual is the tie-dye tank maxi dress by velvet (Produkt z.Zt. ausverkauft): ultra-comfy, cool and a basic for a flirty summer outfit.
