Wordpress Menu Navigation Active Class

Hey all, trying to add an active class for my website so users can easily tell which page they're on. Can't seem to figure it out, tried ".current_page_item" class but it still wouldn't take.. hm. Any suggestions?

Check out my website @ hannahswann.com

Thanks!

Argh! Nevermind. Not totally sure what happened with that one but it was as simple as

.current-menu-item a {
    color: #E5CB6B;
}

Also tried current-menu-item . Wondering if I need to add some PHP?

It needed to be below the ".nav-links" style in the stylesheet, nav-links is much more detailed.. I guess that's why it wasn't working originally.
