UK Spring Color Palette

I am a huge fan of discovering what the de riguer styles are in other countries. London, Paris, Milan, Rome, Dubai, Tokyo - all of these are global fashion meccas - and have their own sense of style and certainly a market that follows these fashions.

One of my new favorites is TimesOnline from London, which promotes fashion news, runway trends and street style in the UK.
