Her Serene Highness Princess Charlene of Monaco as been busy with some charitable functions in the past couple of weeks. Of course she has, that's her job as a princess. But far more importantly, it warms the cockles of this South African fashionista's heart to see her cuddling an African child, even though she is impeccably dressed in her smart black shift dress. That's onse Charlene. Let us just take a moment while we are about it, to comment on the vibrancy of the little girl's dress. Love to see a splash of colour in the mix. Pity it wasn't on our princess.

Charlene did dish up the colour on another occasion. This green knit dress and cardigan is lovely and beautifully paired with those classic nude sling backs. Jimmy Choo, I am guessing from the style. This is how I like to see onse Charlene. Viva colour, viva!
