If you find this season’s pastel hues too sweet, then Spring 12’s bright shade parade is for you.

Bright accessories are the ultimate way to add instant vibrancy to your look, and as you would expect from Van Dal we have some colourful treats in store for you.

Highlights this season include El Nido, our great suede wedge which sports a delightfully different gold flecked cork covered heel. El Nido, named after a province in Philippines, comes in four colours but it’s the summer blue and magenta that really work here.

If you are looking for a peep toe option then Luzon is a great partner shoe and comes with a suede covered heel in the same four colour options.

If you’re feeling really brave try pairing them with the dress in our main picture. This evening dress, in magenta, is available from boohoo.com.

In typically British fashion the weather can swing wildly, and yes it does change our mood! So guarantee the summer, at least in your wardrobe, and say goodbye to grey days. Go on channel your inner rainbow!
