No matter the weather, this is the collection that’ll put a smile on your face.
With the weather forecast showing rain for the foreseeable future, we’re all for feel-good brands that’ll brighten up the dreariest of days. Enter, Olivia Rubin, the designer and mum of two who’s creating colourful clothing celebrities and influencers can’t get enough of.
Now, the queen of colour has taken her fun, playful and instantly recognisable style though to homeware. Collaborating with seven independent Etsy sellers, Olivia has designed everything from lamps and cushion covers to reusable mugs and candles, and we couldn’t be happier.

Everyone from Fearne Cotton, Holly Willoughby and Lena Dunham have already been wearing the rainbow-bright outfits on Instagram. Stylist chatted to Olivia Rubin and she told us “I would love to see Elle Fanning wearing my designs, she has such a great eclectic sense of style but the collection really is made for anyone, everyone should try colour.”
Adding bright hues into your everyday outfits can sometimes be tricky for those of us who prefer darker colours, Fearne tries out the black Alia dress (get it, here) for a hint of rainbow and styles with this season’s key cowboy boots.
For those who need more persuasion, Olivia suggests: “Go bold, or go home! I truly believe colour gives you confidence so give colour a go and see how it makes you feel. I guarantee it’ll make you feel good. The sequin skirt in pastel and bright shades has been a bestseller so far, it’s so fun and easy to dress up or down for all occasions.”
Actor Lena Dunham posted a happy selfie in her lace ombre dress and we’re big fans of even more colour with a bright lipstick. Luckily her dress is still available – even if it is selling out fast – and you can shop it below.
