Bold Colour High Street Style

The Fabulous tones of Red, Raspberry, Cobalt and Cornflower Blues, Yellow, Orange, Coral, Turquoise and Green are everywhere right now. As long as it's bold and in your face it fits this trend.
For those of us who aren't lucky enough to be earning extortionate amounts of money on a regular basis, ie the rest of the world here's a Bold Colour from where we might be able to afford it. Zara, I think is possibly one of the best places on the high street to get a truly high fashion look at a fraction of the price. Zara claim that their clothes from design to shop floor in under 3 weeks, which explains such a high turnover of styles and allows us mere mortals to stock up our closet with the on trend fashion pieces from one season to the next. Check out Zara's April look book here
So for this trend it all depends on a person's personal taste whether to go all out with the trend and wear it all together ie colour blocking (the method by which you combine bold colours in either complimentary or clashing tones to make a strong and bold statement)

or chop and change your favourite jeans and white t combo with just a splash of colour in a jacket or accessory.

I swear I could have sat at this all day trying to figure out the best way to showcase these gorgeous pieces (wait i did sit here all day) but this is simple to the point and gives a good example of what is out there. There is so much more and would have taken days to put it all in.
I will put up a post with how to wear this style and put together an outfit with an additional post of colour blocking these pieces. I also have a few other ideas up my sleeve on future posts on this trend such as
