Today, we bring to you an insight into the popular colours of 2016: Pantone Colours - Rose Quartz and Serenity. Simply put, they are pale pink and baby blue colours. In troubling and conflicting times, these two colours seem to put some warmth and tranquilty in the world. They are almost reminding people to love life and the peace that resides. Let's read on to find out how we have fuse these colours into some of our pieces!

The basic idea of introducing such pastel colours for 2016 is to provide a type of comfort and relaxation in stressful periods. Pastel colours are generally light colours - calming, peaceful, and never overly striking (think opposites such as bright red). Hence, on top of Rose Quartz and Serenity, most of the pastel colours like mint, or lavender, work well too!

For our highly-favourited trapeze dress, they are created, too, with some gentle colours in mind. They somehow magically seem to make things fresher and lighter and happier - at least that's what we believe. Moreover, these dresses are effortless. One does not really need a lot of time to prepare with Jaxel. :)

Bexley - what we call the simplistically elaborate blouse (how ironic).

Well, if you haven't already know, our team is head over heels with this top. It may seem really unappealing at first, but the more you see it, the more you like it. Perhaps it may be due to the serene colours that come with them, or it could be that humans these days tend toward a "surprise" in something minimal, say loosely-defined accordion pleats in a plain sleeveless top.

Nevertheless, this blouse is beyond easy to style! Trust us, mixing and matching were never this easy. It's like shorts and pants all became good friends with you overnight. Accessorise simply with this for less seems to be more now!

Wow, how we have waited for this piece and finally here it comes. This is one from our latest collection and I must say, this is one of our favourites! Plus, it actually made use of Rose Quartz and Serenity, and a bit of ombre mash-up (which makes it even nicer!). One ought to pack this into their luggage for summer trip - June's on its way! Remember, though, to bring your shades and sunblock and your chicest sandals. Our Odyssey has gotten you covered for the rest! :)))

Have a good week ahead, ladies! ♥
