The hottest trend right now is colorblocking. Camilla Belle, Kim Kardashian, and Rihanna are just a few of the celebs that have worn this trend. We have always been taught to keep the colors in the same family or make sure they correspond when we put an outfit together. Colorblocking breaks every one of these rules and let's you pair any color combo without looking like a hot mess. Colorblocking has expanded to include dresses, bags, shoes, and even jewelry. Love!
I interned for Giambattista Valli for his Pre-Fall 2011 line and I first hand know that Giambattista is the king of colorblocking! He uses this trend for almost of his collections. The picture on the left is from his 2011 Fall RTW and the right is from his 2012 Resort collection. He is inspiration on how to work the colorblock!

This Lucca Couture dress goes for $69 and also comes in blue/black. I love how I get two trends in one, the cutout and colorblock! The side cutout is perfect to give it a sexy feel and shows some skin. The bustier top is perfect for added details and to show off the girls. Wear this for a night out with a pair of heels and statement piece like a cuffed bangle.
This dress is $59 and comes in orange, maroon, turquoise, and purple. I love the sweetheart neckline so that way you can show off the cleavage and shoulders. You have the bustier top and the side paneling is perfect to give attention to your upper half. Dress this up with heels and a statement cocktail ring or earrings. Keep it more casual with peep toe booties and biker jacket.
This Asos goes for $68.96. This dress is so unique and a bold statement. I love the asymmetrical neckline, cutout, and the rushed knot in the center. Most colorblocking only uses two colors but this goes out of the typical ways and uses three. This dress is perfect for a casual occasions with a pair of wedges.
This Asos jumpsuit goes for $112.05. This colorblock jumpsuit is adorable and reminds me of a more affordable version of Gucci's Spring 2011 RTW line. The bandeau top is draped and is perfect for hiding the stomach pooch. The pleat detailing is a nice accent and the pockets are perfect to hide your phone. Pair these with a pair of pumps and a bangle/ cocktail ring. Even cut these pants into shorts for a cute outfit!
This Asos dress is on sale for $34.48. I love how this dress is so simple and 'girls next door'. The blue and baby yellow is a perfect summer dress. I love the cutouts on this dress since we have one in the front and the keyhole slip in the back. The deep v-neck is perfect to show off the girls and the buttons give it a girly feel. Wear this to a picnic with gladiators and bangles or for night with wedges.http://us.asos.com/ASOS-ASOS-Cut-Out-Summer-Dress-in-Color-Block/wavd1/?iid=1510761&SearchQuery=colour%20block&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=-1&sort=-1&clr=Blue&mporgp=L0Fzb3MvQXNvcy1DdXQtT3V0LVN1bW1lci1EcmVzcy1Jbi1Db2xvdXItQmxvY2svUHJvZC8.
This Poltock & Walsh coat is on sale for $295.65. This is the perfect way to show that colorblocking can be amazing even in coat form! The high neck is perfect to keep the cold away and the swing cut shape is perfect for that fun feel. The mustard pockets are a fun pop of color. Must have for winter!
These Mark by Marc Jacobs bangles are on sale for $47.60 and it comes in blue, cream/ brass, and red/ brass. The colorblocking has made its way into jewelry and that includes bangles! These bangles are super cute and a perfect piece to any outfit. Make sure your outfit isn't to wild so that way your colorblock jewelry can be the statement piece.
These Dune Gizella heels are on sale for $93.09. I love the criss-crossing straps and the design that they make. Another fab thing is the chunky heel and is perfect for the girl who has trouble walking in heels. Pair these statement shoes with a more muted outfit to make them the wow factor of your outfit.
This Asos leather handbag is $129.29. Colorblocking has even turned into bag form! This is perfect for a fall or even a pop of color for your spring bag. This satchel is perfect because it has a short handle to carry around or the longer band to put over your shoulder.
These Giuseppe Zanotti heels are your splurge at $1495. I have the trend of colorblocking and the fact that they are covered in Swarovski crystals make these equivalent to love. These platform peep toes are such a statement piece and are simply amazing. Pair these with your LBD and make everyone drool over your shoes.
The colorblocking trend is hot right now! It is an fierce trend and is perfect for your fall wardrobe. I love how I can spice up my look with a colorblock dress, handbag, or jacket. Remember to make the color block your statement piece. The only rule to this trend: there is no rule, use whatever and however many colors you want!
