WIndow shopping in pre-fall Europe this year and a theme emerged: muted, earthy colours set off by bright oranges and burnt siennas.

This orange-y tone carries over into spring 2012, but with white or other bright colours as the backdrop.

It is a catchy colour to use as an accent: a scarf, a clutch, as part of an ethnic pattern or as an eye-catching sweater.

Get one piece in this shade and watch how it will become one of your favourite accessories!
