I'm afraid that's not a typo, i genuinely believe 2011 will be full of the stuff. And not the flaky metal-mould you find on your bike after it was left in the rain [sob!], no I'm talking colour. Deep, burnt-orange, glorious colour. Whether it's the colour of your clothes or even your hair, rust is definitely a must this year!

The highstreet is already full of rust coloured gems, so I thought I'd share my pick of the crop with you :)

Oh how I've been longing for those rusty coloured locks. Sadly, I'mma have to wait til this dye's faded before trying it, but for those of you thinking about taking the plunge make sure you check out MessyCarla's tips on red-hair upkeep: it's a go-to guide for any hair colour fans!

Her video is [here], and her wonderful blog is [here] ~ many thanks to her for letting me include this!

So, there you have it. May your year be healthy, happy, and wonderfully rusty.

Just take a tip from me and don't leave your bike out!
